I am so upset and angry and had to vent somewhere. I keep seeing stories about pets who, once again, were abandoned when their owners evacuated prior to the hurricane. Pets who were left tied up in yards and unable to flee. Animals who were left in cages, left to drown. Animals who were left to fend for themselves in poorly built mobile homes and one- story homes. And of course, not to mention, those thousands of pigs and chickens -noone tried to keep them out of harms way. Yes,I feel bad for the people who lost everything - but - I feel awful and heartbroken for all the pets who trusted their humans - trusted them to keep them safe - and their humans only looked out for themselves. And I don't want to hear - well, the humans didn't have time - they had plenty of warning. Of course, there were those humans who were unable to leave - but, they and their pets stayed together to endure the storm. My anger and distaste is towards those who up and left their pets and animals. ANYONE who lives in ANY area that is and might be prone to a natural disaster should ALWAYS ALWAYS be prepared and ready to move their animals away from harm. Not just leave them. Am I way off base feeling this way? |

| Mostly right on, but stock farmers have a particularly rough time. Horse owners, llama owners and other large stock animal owners many DID grab their trailors and take their stock with them, but what is a farmer with 100 cows to do, really, YOU tell ME! There just aren't any good options. Speaking as a farmer. When we have a hurricane ( only happened once or twice, we are in new england) we round up all the stock and LOCK them in the barn with hay fed out on raised platforms. it's never gotten more than four inches deep in the barn and went down within hours, but MAN is THAT ever a bad feeling. Say what you will about factory farms, but small local farmers care for their stock like they are family, We are no differnt... |

It upsets me also. There is mention of the factory farmed animals...I posted that some hours ago and was posting in regards to that for days now. When animals are caged and bred for to kill they are in harms way EVERY DAY they suffer, so to them it was another suffering ...Now the crappy mess that is made by factory farming is going to be worse for all the rotting corpses of pigs, chickens, etc. 🚽 This world has become a wicked mess.
