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.
