Hopefully others will learn from this very costly mistake- both in human
and animal lives. We were appalled when we realized on the day BEFORE
the storm that N.O. had stopped all it's public transportation! the day
before?

On a slightly different note- there are quite a few organizations
working tirelessly to find, transport, and care for the equine victims
of this disaster. (as well as the other four footed friends) Several
lists I am on have sent updates, addresses, contacts, pleas, and
specific requests. If anyone would like me to forward them to you let me
know. If anyone thinks it beneficial, and Una agrees, I can forward them
here as well. It is one way we can help- even if it's not possible to be
there.
