| 3,215 | 1:44 pm PDT, Jul 24 | Carol A. Cohen | Gulfport | Mississippi | United States | My husband Steve and I agree that no, Pets should be left behind. There should be no exception of the size of your pet. We have 2 big dogs & there is no way we would leave them behind, or, would put them in a carrier, and then be expected to able to pick them up. |

Know there was a potential hurricane wasn't as scary as knowing I would never leave my home without my pets. Please sign a bill for the safety of our "loved ones". I will NEVER leave my pets behind and I will die with them. |

| 3,206 | 3:08 pm PDT, Apr 29 | Anonymous | Oviedo | Florida | United States | Pets ARE AN UNDER APPRECIATED SOURCE OF ANGUISH TO THEIR PEOPLE WHEN SEPARATED DURING TIMES OF DISASTER. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT PROVISIONS BE MADE TO INCLUDE PETS IN DISASTER EVACUATIONS. WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER KATRINA PET SITUATION. PLAN, EDUCATE AND PUT IN ACTION NOW A VIABLE DISASTER EVACUATION PLAN. RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP SHOULD BE ENFORCED, AND PENALTIES ENFORCED WHEN IT IS NOT. PETS GIVE SO MUCH AND ASK FOR SO LITTLE IN RETURN. REMEMBER THE LEAST OF THE LEAST AND YOUR BLESSINGS WILL BE MANY. MONEY AND PAIN ARE BOTH BLIND. ENACT PET EVAC PLANS BEFORE THEY ARE NEEDED AND EDUCATE THE PUBLIC BEFORE THEY ARE NEEDED. |

No Pets Left Behind
Directed to: President George Bush and other local, state, and federal officials responsible for disaster relief; and the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and other non-governmental disaster relief agencies.
Whereas, pets are considered by most Americans to be part of their families, and
Whereas, one of the principle responsibilities of animal guardians is to provide for the safekeeping of their animals in an emergency, and
Whereas, many people die in disasters because they will not abandon their animals, and
Whereas, animal neglect is illegal,
We the undersigned respectfully request that governmental and non-governmental agencies at all levels involved in providing disaster relief incorporate animal rescue and sheltering into their plans.
Humane Organizations have developed emergency preparedness resources for animal guardians. Many humane organizations have teams prepared to assist with the animal rescues inherent in a disaster. We ask that agencies concerned with providing human relief in a disaster include organizations skilled in animal rescue and relief in all aspects of preplanning and implementation.
Never again do we want to see "the authorities" blocking rather than enabling animal guardians and relief agencies trying to do the right thing.
