help the pets!

so i read my sister's blog (talesfromthepoobox.blogspot.com), and she wrote about how hurricane katrina has left so many pets dead/dying/abandoned. this is what she wrote:

>>>who's saving the puppies and kittens affected by the hurricane? they're starving, dehydrating, drinking the contaminated water, being shot by the "thugs" (why use that term? and who decides that a natural disaster is a good time to go rape and kill?) and what happens to the dead ones? all these news stories have yelping puppies in the background, and godawful things are happening to the pets (tangled in the power lines and electrocuting, etc.), but who's gonna take care of them? it's not like the animal shelters aren't overcrowded anyway, and who knows how long it'll be before their owners have homes again. i don't have the space to have any more, otherwise i'd be volunteering to take some in. there was this awful story about a little boy who's fluffy white dog (snowball) couldn't go w/the family to the shelter. the kid screamed for his dog until he puked. didn't stop them from taking the dog from him though. and people are crying on the news 'cuz they can't take their pets to the shelters with them. <<<

if you go to www.aspca.org, you can donate money to help save the pets. you're all a bunch of fanatical animal lovers, so you all understand that they're family members too. i just donated $100. i hope it helps.
