PossumCorner Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Yes Katrina attitudes were horrendous, just the newsclips on tv show a change of heart here. Or are demographics everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I was horrified at how animals AND humans were treated in the wake of Katrina. I think it was a demographics thing. I still remember reports of awful/criminal things happening at the stadium people were sardined into and people on the streets dead and others desperate for water. So many homes have still never been rebuilt. That just tells you how little money went back into rescue and recovery down there. I used to do disaster recovery in QLD and have seen some heartbreaking stuff involving animals that I wont go into. It's why I would choose to do a preventative evacuation under my own steam and just get the hell out of Dodge before a forced evacuation was necessary. It's why I own a station wagon and a shit load of camping and dog gear. Other family are the same and loaded their gear and animals up and evacced to higher ground a couple of years ago when a cyclone passed through and flooded their town out.
