Urgent: Tell Your Federal Representatives to Demand

Animals’ Safe Evacuation From New Orleans!

 

Dear Friend,

 

Your immediate attention and response is requested. No

animal rescue groups have been allowed into New

Orleans to help animals, who have been left stranded

on their own. Sending money is not solving the

animals’ problem, which is worsening by the hour.

 

Meanwhile, federal authorities are forcing

everyone—including elderly residents who have stayed

in water-logged residences for five days just to

safeguard their beloved animals—to leave their animals

behind to starve. In some cases, people are told that

they must choose between bringing vital medicine and

bringing their dog when they are evacuated. This is

illegal and it must stop.

 

PETA has issued a media advisory stating that we will

prosecute any known violators, but that is not

stopping federal evacuators from insisting that

animals be left to die. Today, Rue McClanahan wrote to

President George W. Bush, calling on him to order

officials to allow people to evacuate with their

animals.

 

Please, immediately call your member of Congress today

to ask that people be allowed to evacuate with their

animals. Leave messages for them in Washington and at

their home offices and get everyone you know to call.

The names of—and contact information for—your

representative and senators can be found online.

Please forward this alert to others willing to lend

their voices to help with this emergency.

 

Thank you for your compassion for animals and for your

willingness to act today.

 

Sincerely,

 

Daniel Paden
