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  yesterday....

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.

thousands of  Katrina animals, visit the Animal
