animal rescue in NOLA and MS
September 27th, 2005 by alanMy friend Chisaiboo aka Melody went down to Tylertown MS and to NOLA to rescue animals stranded by Katrina and to work at a shelter in MS caring for rescued dogs. The conditions are appalling. All of the animals are filthy and most are emaciated and dehydrated. They’re in outdoor pens on asphalt infested with fire ants. Those are the lucky ones who even got rescued. The National Guard and NOPD are not officially supposed to be rescuing pets at all. Thousands of dying animals remain in NOLA and time is running out. Read her experiences at http://www.livejournal.com/users/chisaiboo/.
She’s an amazing punk-rock dynamo of a chica at all of 5 feet and 95 lbs. I am totally impressed with her toughness and compassion in the face of conditions which took out 8 other volunteers due to heatsroke and dehydration in one day. Loki, go visit her Lucky 13 bar in Park Slope and say hello while you’re still in NYC. Tell her bifemmefatale sent ya.
