In that context...yeah, it kind of makes sense. If your goal is to evacuate EVERYONE, requiring pets to be evacuated as well makes that goal more achievable. Sure sounds stupid, though...

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 But who will drive the buses? 697511[/snapback] That's the federal government's responsibility. It says so in New Orleans' new evacuation plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're talking about an animal If you have the choice to go sans pet and refuse - that's your thing Why are we still overrun with "Katrina" puppies ? http://lonsberry.com/writings.cfm?go=4 Yes, I own a dog - but it would never be a factor in a life & death decision It's time to be real - not sentimental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UConn James Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I wouldn't leave without my dogs - but I likely wouldn't need evacuating anyway. 697687[/snapback] Ditto. I can see how some people consider it stupidity to stay for pets, but then I can certainly understand why some people wouldn't leave w/o them. It's the same reason why someone wouldn't leave w/o their children. But who will drive the buses? Haven't you ever seen "Tinkles the Driving Cat" on SNL?
