Yes Godbless💚💚

I know. He was told he had to leave that day no matter what. It was a blessing to get that call.

if you had children, would you force them to risk their lives too, or risk them losing a parent because you don't want to leave your pets? most people leave their pets in natural disasters because it's the only way to save their families. no one leaves their pets without it breaking their hearts. some might not have been home when they were told to evacuate, and couldn't get their pets out before the floods reached their neighbourhood. or they were working emergency response and couldn't leave their post. I also would not be surprised if some of the pet owners died while their pets survived.

@@isthatrubble no its wrong, some people save only themselves and we also discover many animals mistreated and locked in cages in individuals, such as hunting dogs that never go out except for hunting, it is disgusting

同感です🍀​@@lutinesugar4872

​@@lutinesugar4872 you can't say @isthattrubble is wrong just because there are mean people who mistreat and abandon their pets. Both situations and motives are plausible and probable and can happen at the same time in an emergency situation like this.

@@lutinesugar4872 what has hunting dogs being abused got to do with pets being left behind in evacuations?

Since they found statistically that a lot of people died in hurricane katrina because they refused to evacuate and leave their animals behind, states have now put bills in place that coordinate animal evacuation with humans. Some states now recognize and count animals as a family member during evacuation.

@@AccidentallyOnPurpose when there was a flood in Texas, a busload if refugees and their pets arrived in Iowa. Texas officials let people take their pets,because of what happened in New Orleans.

Many people left big signs written on their houses about pets inside.

"Animals know where to go sometimes before the storm." It's really not a good idea for thousands of people to let their pets loose before every major storm that hits. Can you imagine how terrifying that would be for the animals? How many would get into fights with each other or end up eating something they shouldn't and spend the storm with terrible diarrhea and vomiting? How many would get hit by flying debris? How many would be attacked by wild animals after the storm passed? How many would drown anyway because the whole land is flooded for miles? Just because some animals make it through doesn't mean they all can.

Good on you for not judging the victims of Katrina, seriously, no sarcasm. I agree tho, unless government officials were literally telling me I had to if I wanted to be rescued, I’m not leaving them either.

@@WTFiamabanana even than im staying with my pets idgaf if i die

Yeah, it's sad. Parents especially are stuck between getting their human kids to safety over their animal kids. It's a horrible decision and I wouldn't judge anyone's choices either way.

A lot of people died,because they wouldn't leave pets.

@@melissagerber7231 you’re exactly right. There are so many people that would rather die than leave their beloved animals. I would before I would leave my fur baby. There was an article about how most of the people in Katrina that stayed said that they had stayed because they couldn’t bring their animals with them. How sad.

Yess, I'm not vegan but I'm slowly turning into a vegetarian. The only animal meat I still eat is chicken, this year I'm changing my recipes at home so I can take meat completely out of my diet. We humans should be able to survive with a vegan diet. We do not need to eat animal products at all.

A lot of owners drowned and were carried miles from their home :( animals were the only survivors

Yeah the owners probably died

Yes people leave them and also leave them tied up or locked behind gates to where the poor animals don't even have a fighting chance. Shitty shitty people

@@beagie666 so not true. Over 10,000 animals died in Hurricane Katrina.

Many of those people had children. What do you expect them to do, either force their children to stay and drown with the dog or hand their kids over to complete strangers while making them orphans? Sometimes there aren't any good choices and you have to choose the least bad one.
