Our Disaster Animal Response Teams come to the rescue of animals in communities devastated by hurricanes. You can help by making an emergency gift today. Dear Anouk,

First, I’d like to thank you supporting our efforts to advocate for animals with your recent donation to the Humane Society Legislative Fund. Your support truly reflects your outstanding commitment to help end animal suffering everywhere. I’m writing today because The Humane Society of the United States has launched a massive relief effort in response to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina to rescue animals and assist their caregivers in the disaster areas.

Because of this emergency situation, we are asking all of our supporters and members to consider making a small contribution to help fund our disaster relief efforts. Our response to Hurricane Katrina must be swift and comprehensive and I hope that we can again count on you for support. Your donation will directly impact our ability to provide disaster relief in the next few days and during future disasters affecting animals. Simply click here to support our efforts.

Even as you read this, our highly-trained Disaster Animal Response Teams are heading to Mississippi to begin a multi-state animal rescue and recovery effort. Our 38-foot Disaster Response Unit and other rescue vehicles affiliated with our teams are fully stocked and on their way.

Our entire relief effort is funded by donations from people like you, and we desperately need your support. Please make an emergency contribution to our Disaster Relief Fund today. Your tax-deductible gift will be used exclusively for our disaster animal relief work. Even at this early stage, Hurricane Katrina promises to be one of the most devastating hurricanes on record. Please keep the human and animal victims in your thoughts, and please consider making an emergency donation today to help our disaster relief teams save as many stranded and injured animals as possible. My dedicated corps of professionals and volunteers sends our gratitude as we get set to enter the disaster zone.Sincerely,Laura BevanIncident CommanderHSUS National Disaster Animal Response TeamFlorida Panhandle Staging Area

P.S. As the leader of our on-the-ground disaster relief efforts, I can tell you first-hand that the difficult and dangerous task of saving animals' lives in disaster situations is vital not only to the animals, but to the people who love them, too. Any support you can provide for our animal relief work is deeply appreciated.

Wait, did I read this right? What the contribution thank you also a request for more money? Desperate times calls for desperate acts. What are they going to do with all the animals affected by this? If they move them to areas close by, I'm sure the overcrowding issue needs to be addressed and I'm afraid to ask how it is. Does th HS have a 'no kill' policy? How far away do they transport the animals? Is there much likelyhood that they will meet up again with their 'owners' (for lack of a better word I can think of)? Seriously, what do for them?"zurumato" <zurumato wrote:

Hi Jonnie,

 

The Humane Society works with shelters and they provide guidelines to

shelters. From what I read in their website

they only kill animals which are not healthy.

They belong to an organization called Asilomor Accords these are

their guidelines:

 

Unhealthy and Untreatable: The term " unhealthy and untreatable " means

and includes all dogs and cats who, at or subsequent to the time they

are taken into possession,

 

(1) have a behavioral or temperamental characteristic that poses a

health or safety risk or otherwise makes the animal unsuitable for

placement as a pet, and are not likely to become " healthy " or

" treatable " even if provided the care typically provided to pets by

reasonable and caring pet owners/guardians in the community; or

 

(2) are suffering from a disease, injury, or congenital or

hereditary condition that adversely affects the animal's health or is

likely to adversely affect the animal's health in the future, and are

not likely to become " healthy " or " treatable " even if provided the

care typically provided to pets by reasonable and caring pet

owners/guardians in the community; or

 

(3) are under the age of eight weeks and are not likely to become

" healthy " or " treatable, " even if provided the care typically provided

to pets by reasonable and caring pet owners/guardians in the community.

 

3. We acknowledge that the euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals

is the sad responsibility of some animal welfare organizations that

neither desired nor sought this task. We believe that the euthanasia

of healthy and treatable animals is a community-wide problem requiring

community-based solutions. We also recognize that animal welfare

organizations can be leaders in bringing about a change in social and

other factors that result in the euthanasia of healthy and treatable

animals, including the compounding problems of some pet

owners'/guardians' failure to spay and neuter; properly socialize and

train; be tolerant of; provide veterinary care to; or take

responsibility for companion animals.

What are they going to do with all the animals affected by this? If

they move them to areas close by, I'm sure the overcrowding issue

needs to be addressed and I'm afraid to ask how it is. Does th HS have

a 'no kill' policy? How far away do they transport the animals? Is

there much likelyhood that they will meet up again with their 'owners'

(for lack of a better word I can think of)? Seriously, what do for them?
