Gandhi said, "The morality of a country can be judged by the way it treats its animals."
I find it reprehensible that people are being forced to leave their pets behind regardless of their socioeconomic status. I find the inaction of that person who (JMO) unfortunately runs this country also reprehensible. He is the president of the free world - if he wanted those people to have water and food, they would. Plain and simple. I work with some veterans who are also appalled at that evil man's (again, JMO) failure to mobilize the resources available to air drop food and water and to evacuate those in New Orleans. The guys here tell me the military has the ability to erect massive sheltering structures in a matter of hours, the ability to have done plenty, but chooses not to. Perhaps it is this regime's view as well that the people there are not worthy.
Back to the topic - it is not up to me to judge the form, nature or validity of a person's disability. Nor is it up to me to judge whether or not or how their animal might be of "service" in living and functioning with said disability.
Kim, keep up the good work.
