Yes but when the animals suffer, the owners suffer also, and it's really sad that people who had to lose everything, even their jobs, have the additional pain of not knowing what happened to their beloved pet. I was so relieved to see the animal rescuers go in. Recently I got on Petfinder.com to see what was happening and they have a thread where people are actually directing the rescuers to specific homes where a dog or cat could be. Sometimes they see one on a newscast and they inform the rescuers. The animal lovers have really pulled together to save as many as possible.
