Agreed. My wife and I had made donations to both the Red Cross and the Humane Society over the last two days. However, after hearing the callous responses of some posters about this issue, any additional donations will be made to the humane society, period.

Many, many people and governments and resources are being devoted to the human tragedy Katrina has wrought. Now, dog/cat people need to directly give to dogs/cats via the appropriate agencies.
