To Allow Pets in Shelters...When Mother Nature Strikes...

"Pets are part of the family, as much as any human companion. They, and their owners, deserve to be treated with respect and dignity when disaster strikes."

"Sounds fair enough, please help."

"I can't imagine the added anguish pet owners must have not only leaving their home but ther beloved pets as well??!! No wonder people opt to "ride it out"."

"Let the whites keep the pets"

"Pets need to be allowed into shelters both for the people and the pets"

"I am an owner of 6 cats and worry what I would do if a disaster happened to me, its very frightening to think that those poor people with their pets should have even more of a difficult time to add to their real fear for the pets as well."

"I agree with this policy completely."

"This is critical given the suffering clearly seern on both pet owners and pets as a result of hurricane Katrina."

"I live in Canada I would never leave my pets behind if we had to leave"

"For some of us, our pets are our family."

"As a pet owner, I would have great trouble leaving my pet behind in a crisis situation and know that this has cost some people their lives in the aftermath of the recent hurricanes. You must do something about this and even though I'm in the Chicago area,"

"This is common sense!"
