(hmmm does Petco insure their product in their event of natural disaster I heard that was the comment when this first started. The store said it was not worth removing the animals as the insurance would cover it the same as a sack of dog bones. (my words not theirs) It is all product to them and they are now trying to cover all the first statements with damage control.

My son sent me a statement that a lawyer put up that if the folks would get together he would offer his services free of charge to go after everyone involved for animal cruelty and neglect ect.

I live in tornado ally (Alabama) and this year was hit by one in April, but I refuse to go to a storm shelter because my two furbabies are not allowed in these shelters even if they both fit in a single crate, so I WILL NOT leave them behind. I can not even imagine being safe and not knowing how they are doing. They depend on me for their care the same as my children did when they were at home.

And if you have pets in your care you need to be responsible for them and if you are making a profit from them you are doubly responsible to prevent any harm to them. This are living breathing creatures that love and have emotions such as fear and joy.

If those animals had even been let loose they would have had enough sense to seek higher ground themselves. I am not saying they should have been let loose but that they knew they were drowning.

If there was time to move precious paper work to safety and to shut down early than there was time to remove all animals. Rent a Uhaul truck load them and get to higher ground. Yeah that store was dry for 6 to 8 hours before any water hit and the whole area knew it was coming.
