Update on dogs shot in St. Bernard Parish
Thanks to all who have responded with your outrage, concern and questions about what they can do!



Here are things you can do and an update.



There is a petition to the Congress for an independent investigation.
http://new.petitiononline.com/savepet/petition.html

To: U.S. Congress

We the below signed are outraged by the massacre of the pets in the schools in Louisiana as well as the video footage of local law enforcement shooting clearly friendly dogs in the streets. Had laws been in place to allow evacuees to take their pets to a safe center much of this tragedy would not have occurred. Furthermore, this massacre should be investigated to the fullest degree by an independent counsel not beholden to the local politics of St. Barnard Parish. The owners of this animals deserve to know the truth.

Contact your legislators and let them know your outrage.

Senators

TX US Representatives and TX State

Contact media, this needs to be reported and not forgotten or swept under the rug.


Check Pasado’s news page for updates. This is also a good site for regular updates on the current animal rescue efforts of one of the few groups that has consistently continued rescue and shelter efforts, maybe the only one that didn’t shut down or evacuate when Hurricane Rita hit.

UPDATE: Pasado's Safe Haven offered the Louisiana State's Attorney's Office full funding of all veterinary necropsies and forensic examination of evidence. The AG's Office agreed to take us up on the offer. Tomorrow, Mark Steinway, Humane Investigator for Pasado's Safe Haven, will meet with a Louisiana Assistant State's Attorney and two of their criminal investigators at the site of the school shootings. They will witness our collection of evidence and transport to a local veterinarian. We are pleased with this development. Following necropsy examination of the bodies, evidence will be sent for forensic examination by qualified, licensed criminal investigators in Louisiana. Please stay tuned to this webpage for updates.

2. Yet Another Bush Crime
That whole incident was horrible, indicative yet again of the totally disastrous incompetence of this whole Administration on everything. The miserable trauma of all those who suffered all of this horror, after Bush refused to fund the fortifying of the levees, no matter how Landrieu and all the rest begged, then the failure, day after day, to respond to anybody dying in the whole Gulf region.

The order that people could not bring their animals, then the murder of thousands of friendly pets, rather than rescue them. These Bernard Parish dogs were in a school, on leashes, with food and notes that they were nice dogs. Their human family found them, and wept until they threw up, on camera on CNN Headline News. Blood all over the school floors where they were--and for what? Yes, I signed the petition too; the tragedy for humans and animals was alike the same.
