Someone reminded me that I had forgotten to include links to sites dealing with our furry and feathered pets and friends. Sooo, please cut and paste this into your browser.... it is not just the humans who are suffering and dying. http://news.bestfriends.org/index.cfm?page=specialreports&mode=cat&catid=040 61773-BDB9-396E-9001EF6EC01318A4 Aside from Best Friends (above), aspca.org, alleycatallies.org, hsus.org, and several other sites are collecting for the animals (pets and wild) and sending teams to rescue and retrieve. Two HSCI investigators are certified Emergency Animal Rescue Service volunteers (www.ears.org) which is through United Animal Nations, and they may soon be dispatched! But all costs must be covered by donations. Many people are giving to the Red Cross, but the Red Cross is not allowing animals in it's facilities...it is solely focused on the people. So we have to support these other groups as well!
