Penalties for abandoning pets during natural disasters

[az4783054]

Our dogs have always been part of the family. They're the children we never had. There's nothing we wouldn't do to improve their quality of life for as long as we can, we have the food, toys and vet bills to prove that. I would send my wife to safety and stay with our dog during a natural disaster. Domestic dogs depend on humans to keep them safe, sheltered and fed, just like an infant.

Dude, chaining a dog to a fence during a hurricane is cruel and anyone who doesn't think so needs their face smashed in.

I ain’t gonna lie. I’ll save my animals before I save my neighbors.

I like animals more than I like most people.

All of my neighbors are blood. Note I didn't say "family", not any more. I would be perfectly willing to use them for cat food. There is a difference between not being able to get to your pet and abandonment. Anyone that abandons their pet doesn't deserve to breath the same air as I. If worse comes to worse, man up, and do the hard yet humane thing and kill it. I'll have no more pets after these are gone. I just can't stand the loss anymore. I know that makes me a selfish prick, but that's the way it is.

My Dane passed in 2015 at 11 and pug a year later at 16 and wife and I said no more. We pet sit, I feed the wild life in my back yard and typically greet an animal before people.

I hadn’t head an out the incident promoting this but abandonment is bad but abandoning and not giving a fighting chance, nah, that’s next level cruelty
