I'll never get the pictures of pets abandoned during Hurricane Katrina out of my mind. Thanks to the powers that be (and tragic past experience) things are different in the Colorado disaster. Hurray!

So great to see that both compassion and common sense won out in this area. Many people will not evacuate without their animals. It is much better and smarter public policy to plan for humans and animals together.

Double ditto. At least someone remembered the history lesson in Katrina.

So true!! FEMA has really done an about face on these types of situations. We're all better off (pets, wildlife and commercial animals included.)
