In a perfect world I know that all of the things the others posted about animal care is true (from having trailers to microchipping, etc). Without knowing what the circumstances were/are I know that I can't begin to judge what happened when this particualar family had to leave their home.<BR/><BR/>I know that as I was watching the news on Monday there were families that had trailers who still had to let their animals loose because the traffic was so bad they couldn't get their animals out in trailers. I saw as one family tagged their animals with their cell phone numbers, set them loose and prayed that if someone found them later they would call them to let them know if/that their animals were safe. I had a friend tell me that he saw a man come up to the end of the evacuation line with his horse in his trailer and because the back up was so bad he pulled his horse out and rode him to the front of the line where someone else who had space in their trailer allowed him to trailer his horse with this strangers. This man was fortunate to be by himself with only one horse. What would have happened if there had been more?<BR/><BR/>Rather than judging, I know that friends and family from my congregation are headed into the Dulzura area to see how they can be of help to people that have lost their homes, who might not have had insurance because the Insurance Companies refused to insure properties and homes in the Dulzura area after the Cedar fires, and to bring a sense of hope, uplifting and encouragement to this community.Pr Felipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09700671772295023270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993802479814510980.post-20203107378445366142007-10-28T12:45:00.000-07:002007-10-28T12:45:00.000-07:00I own several horses and the best thing you can so...I own several horses and the best thing you can sometimes do in a wildfire is turn them loose. You very rarely hear of animals who are free being killed in a firestorm. They will find safety on their own, its only when we keep them in barns, paddocks and homes that we endanger them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993802479814510980.post-52559111403749188552007-10-27T20:57:00.000-07:002007-10-27T20:57:00.000-07:00There needs to be a law passed that if you own liv...There needs to be a law passed that if you own livestock you must be registered with Animal Services-<BR/>microchipped- with IT ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY TO OWN A TRAILER and TRUCK with proof of insurance to get these animals out<BR/>in case of an emergency- I totally agree with you and it pisses me off<BR/>royally- I wonder how they would feel faced with burning to death-The second you see smoke or are ordered with a Voluntary evacuation - it means get your animals out NOW- Mandatory means you have three minutes period- These people should be fined and be prohibited from owning any other animals- There is NO excuse for this kind of<BR/>neglect- it's inhumane- I grew up on a ranch with trailer- trucks and disaster evacuation in place-<BR/>ANIMALS FIRST PEOPLE- ALWAYS- I know that horse died of heart failure from horrendous fear and <BR/>suffocation and shock- the kitty <BR/>no doubt died similarly- Nice going<BR/>people- you should be real proud<BR/>of yourselves- Hope the suit and the box of food that you grabbed was worth their humble little lives-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993802479814510980.post-78692266930047551782007-10-26T10:32:00.000-07:002007-10-26T10:32:00.000-07:00I totally agree with all you said.I totally agree with all you said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993802479814510980.post-59417835330552840032007-10-25T20:55:00.000-07:002007-10-25T20:55:00.000-07:00And why weren't these animals evacuated too? And ...And why weren't these animals evacuated too? And where is the vet? They need immediate attention. The 'oh well' attitude just gets me. When you have animals, they depend on you 100% for their safety and well being. If you cannot provide this, then you don't deserve their love and companionship. <BR/><BR/>They inteviewed a woman from Poway that had her house burn. She was laughing that they grabbed a 2 y/o box of baklava. Their cat died in the fire. Why didn't they rescue their cat? Apparently it was worth less than a 2 y/o box of stale dessert.<BR/><BR/>Just incomprehensible to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
