New Orleans - Nat'l Guard and Army,Police, etc,Refusing To Allow Animal Rescues,
animal lover | 13.09.2005 05:50 | Animal Liberation | Repression
Action Needed!
The army can rescue the pets and abandoned animals. The animals can be housed in army portacabins and warehouses. The poor and displaced victims of the hurricane katrina have the right to have their pets rescued from death. The people of New Orleans deserve to be reunited with their loved pet family members. The governments were too slow to save people, now they should save animals while they can.

BOMBARD THE WHITEHOUSE, MAYOR NAGIN'S OFFICE AND THE ARMY WITH PHONE CALLS.
(Governor Kathleen Blanco has failed to help even though many people have called her.) GET EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO PHONE TO SAVE THE ANIMALS.

The State Vetinarian has declared the animal shelter
in Gonzales, La (the state shelter where these poor abandoned pets are being taken to) FULL and
now has the Nat'l Guard and Army, Police, etc.,
REFUSING TO LET ANIMAL
RESCUERS IN TO N.O. TO RESCUE ANY MORE ANIMALS!
PEOPLE, WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE CALL THE GOV OF
LOUISIANA'S OFFICE RIGHT NOW, THIS MINUTE.
1-866-310-7617 to voice your
concern and demand that something be done immediately!
This phone line is staffed with volunteers and is manned 24/7, the messages get faxed to the Gov's office. I've made numerous phone calls over the past 2 days as have hundreds of other concerned pet lovers.
PLEASE JUST PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL NOW! Don't holler, don't scream, please be polite but firm and demand the Gov do something now.

REFUSING TO LET ANIMAL
RESCUERS IN TO N.O. TO RESCUE ANY MORE ANIMALS!! The shelter is FULL because
this ignorant State Vet refuses to lift the 15 day
quarantine which would allow the hundreds of volunteers to transport these animals to other areas.
Many shelters in other states, including Arkansas,
could take several hundred animals RIGHT NOW and are waiting. They are even volunteering transportation and helping hands.

The government is now using resources retrieving dead human bodies, as opposed to rescuing still living but very weak and dying nonhumans. There won't be time for "animal rescues" later - as the animals will be dead. The relief effort that you are referring to for animals is not "likely" inadequate - it is grossly inadequate, and as you're sitting here reading this, the remaining animals who might otherwise be saved are dying of hunger and thirst. That's not so much the issue with humans, as rescue boats picked them up, leaving the animals behind.

The army can rescue the pets and abandoned animals
The animals can be housed in army portacabins and warehouses. If animal welfare rescue charities don't have housing space at the moment, the army and federal government must help save this animals that ARE STILL ALIVE, but without them will soon die.
Animals can be temporarily housed and looked after by the army and national guards. Many soldiers have complained that they are bored with nothing to do. I can see on television that several military personnel are doing nothing better than street walking. This is a waste of resources. This wasted manpower should be used properly. They should have mandatory orders to save all animals that are still alive.
The rescued animals can be homed in portacabins, warehouses and other army shelters. I am sure the army has facilities that can be used.
Many army, national guards and police have said they would like to help more. They are being traumatized by walking past animals that will die of starvation or eventually shot by cruel military and government who ignored pet owners and animals, and did not try to save their lives.
Governor Kathleen Blanco permits what the federal army can do in the state, so I'm surprised that nothing has been done about rescuing animals, when people have called her offices.
KEEP PROTESTING AND COMPLAIN SO THAT THESE ANIMALS ARE SAVED:
Make sure your protest is noted
Contact:
* President George Bush at the White House
* Your Senators and Represenatives in the katrina hurricane states, and your own state
* the headquarters of the different army headquarters
* heads of the Louisiana police forces
* FEMA.
* Governor Kathleen Blanco Tel: +1 866 310 7617
The State Vetinarian's boss is the State of Louisiana,
Do these federal, state and local government people care about animals at all?
SO WHY AREN'T BUREAUCRATIC OFFICIALS ALLOWING ANIMALS IN SHELTERS TO BE MOVED TO OTHER STATES, SO THAT THERE IS MORE ROOM FOR ANIMALS IN GREAT NEED OF BEING RESCUED? Red tape and their own jobs mean more to them than lives.
* Mayor Nagin's office:
C Ray Nagin, Mayor of New Orleans

Really, with all that's going on in the world does it really make a difference if some cats and dogs get rescued or not? People should come first by a long shot.

Personally, I see no contradiction between anarchism and a belief in vivisection and human primacy.

They can and should save animals and humans. I'm grateful to animal rights people. There's always going to be a division of labour in activism as long as there's a division of labour in capitalism.
