Can you take a moment to look at the following message from the people who
are caring for the animals who have lost their owners since Katrina?
This group, Animal Rescue New Orleans, has been running feeding station
since then, and has saved thousands of pets' lives. However, they are
finding it hard to keep the feeding stations going, and are looking for
volunteers. If you have a spare couple of hours in your busy life, perhaps
you might think of volunteering to help these pets, who have lost their
owners through no fault of their own.
Message follows:
NOLA animals need people to FEED them

THE STARVING ANIMALS OF HURRICANE KATRINA
NEED YOU NOW
Today in New Orleans, we had ONLY FIVE PEOPLE to feed the THOUSANDS of
Katrina animals who remain on the streets. These animals are trying to stay
alive long enough for their people to return or to be rescued.
Animal Rescue New Orleans: www.animalrescueneworleans.com has mapped OVER
2,800 Food/Water locations that need to be refilled !! MOST Food/Water
stations are not refilled for over a WEEK because we don't have enough
people to feed the animals.
It is desperate down here. The animals are starving again. Two more
emaciated dogs came in.
If you can't go yourself, then help spread the word that we need more
volunteers.
If you go down to help support ARNO's Food/Water program, don't let ANYTHING
or ANYONE stand in your way. Please don't stay at the shelter --GO OUT AND
FEED THE ANIMALS THAT HAVE NOT YET BEEN RESCUED. The animals NOT in the
shelter need you MORE than the animals in the shelter. The shelter animals
are fed every day -- but the thousands of animals on the street may eat ONLY
ONCE A WEEK !! The animals need you to go work hard to get them fed -- to
work a 12-14 hour day -- to refill over 100 Food/Water stations a day. We
used to keep them well-fed.
Now we are struggling just to keep them ALIVE.
