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
