Goed nieuws!
De petitie voor de hulpverlening aan mensen met huisdieren werkt.
Via een mail van een Amerikaanse piloot die er momenteel hulp verleent vernam ik juist dat er al gewonde en verlaten dieren opgenomen zijn in de, momenteel lege, Superdome.
Het einde van de ellende is nog verre van in zicht, maar de petitie trekt wel de aandacht van de beleidsnemers. Het zet er hun nu toch toe aan om aandacht te schenken aan het probleem van mensen die hun huisdier niet willen achterlaten.
Dus allemaal verder tekenen en aan je familie en vrienden vragen om ook te tekenen!
Er zijn reeds 54.000 handtekeningen van over heel de wereld verzameld.

Hier enkele fragmenten uit de mail van de piloot van vanochtend :
(PS. "Pets" is Amerikaans voor "huisdier")
Hey--just a quick hello. I am doing OK.
I am at Fort Gillem as part of Joint Task Force Katrina---trying to deal with the terrible tragedy of this Hurricane on our Gulf Coast. The devastation is just terrible. The political "blame game" in my country is almost as bad. I am disgusted by it.
(...)
I have been working 16 hour days moving the airlift. We have made progress, but there is so much else to do. So much else to tell. My heart breaks all the time, but the stories of abandoned pets hurts too. We have established a pet shelter at the New Orleans Superdome, and are collecting pets who are dying and were abandoned. This is an arrow in my heart---I think of my helpless dog Maggie dying of thrist and stranded and no one caring. Glad there is help now arriving.
(...)
I am very tired--don't know how long I can keep up this pace--but it's for a good cause.
