Hi all! Has anymore been found out on our Angel Piggie Program? I'm just anxious to do something! =)  Has anyone checked out Petfinder.coms website? It's interesting. They have a link dedicated to all things Katrina related. There is a section where you can sign up to foster animals ( if they need you I guess) & there is a section for people who are looking for their animals. I started looking through that & after clicking thru about 10 pages realized I could do that for days!  There must be thousands & thousands! =(  I signed up to foster piggies or hammies (I'm allergic to dogs & cats) but all there seems to be are dogs & cats. If anyone thinks they'd like to foster a dog or cat, you might want to check out this sight. 
About the petition, who said not to rescue animals anymore, the mayor of N.O? Where did you read that at? I didn't hear about it. I'm not surprised though. Personally I think that the animals have gotten a real bad deal out of this whole thing. They should have been rescued or evacuated along with the people. Now there are tons of animals either that died or are now separated from their families & will probably never find them again. What are these shelters going to do in a month or 2 when all these homeless animals are still in there? The animals that were lucky enough to have lived thru all this are now going to end up in these already overcrowded shelters on death row. While the shelters are trying hard to take care of the animals now, a couple months from now they are going to have to figure out someway to get rid of all the animals. They can't just keep them there forever. I think it's a bigger mess then some people are willing to admit. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming the shelters or volunteers. These people are a God send with the work they do. It's just so sad that the situation wasn't handled better right from the start by evacuating the animals too.
I was reading my Critters magazine last night. That ButterScotch is just so darn cute!  =)
I saw in the back in the photo contest pics there was a piggie standing on another piggies back!  =(  I'm not sure that's a good idea!  I kinda wish they wouldn't have put that pic in there. It's definitely a "don't try this at home" moment! 
My thoughts & prayers to all those affected by Katrina.
