What the fuck is with this shit? I can't believe how many small minded people think there should be only one effort and do not have the capability of seeing how all efforts can come together to restore order from every direction. We can do more than one thing at a time. There is not only one way and one way only. It's just stupid ignorant to believe so. The more volunteer people/groups going down there, for whatever their cause or reason, the more aid, supplies and help they bring to the whole area. These are heart loving people not closed minded assholes.
And believe it or not animals help people out so much in many more ways than one. For instance think about a family who is safe now and has lost everything including their pet, who they consider part of their family. Now imagine the joy it would bring to them to have someone walk up to them and say here we found Sparky or Fluffy, as we were out trying to save and help anyone anything we came across. They have nothing to be happy about and that would give them a little bit of sunshine.
Spreading joy in someone's heart and life in a situation like this does wonders for the all the people around them. I believe that is in the Buddhist teachings. The joy you give one person will spread joy to another person and then that person to another person and so on and so on. Right now those people need any type of positive feeling and hope they can get. The more people down there helping anything and everything, the more it will spread motivation and hope to all the people they come across to join the effort.
So quit being such a close minded clueless person full of hate!
I love animals and do not want to see them suffer either!

My mind is completely open. Here is how I look at it, everyone knows the situation in New Orleans. Everyone knows there are people stranded, starving, thirsty, stuck in attics, etc.
Now, how hould any decent human being on earth show up there with an agenda to go out and rescue animals? Sure, most everyone loves animals, they are all innocent, poor poor creatures. However, there isn't a chance in hell I could hop in a boat or walk down a street looking for animals when I know for a fact that there are PEOPLE dying daily in the same area. Even if I saw animals wandering around I couldn't picture stopping to help them knowing I could be out looking for people who are trapped.
I'm sorry but picking up people you happen to see while out rescuing cats and dogs just doesn't cut it with me. When New Orleans is drained and they find hundreds or thousands of dead people in their attics cluthing their husbands / wives / babies / brothers / sisters / how will the people who floated by that house to look for a stray cat feel?
Saving one person that would have otherwise died is worth diverting efforts from animal rescue. How about instead of looking for dogs but picking up people they "happen" to see they look for PEOPLE and pick up animals they happen to see on the way. Wouldn't that make more sense?
I'm sorry to have offended you, maybe my priorities are screwed but I put human life a few rungs above the poor starving animals.
