These people are already experiencing depression from enormous loss; then to give up a 'family member' pet (another horrible loss). Then keep in mind that pets HELP people who are depressed, lonely, etc. What a horrific place to be in their lives.

My only tip is be sure the lorganization you are donating money to really helps the animal shelters in the Gulf area or wherever you want it to go. There are several big name organizations out there that advertise as if their money goes to the local shelters, but in all reality very little does so just be careful withHeather @ 3 kids and lots of pigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05615277156454776548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616033152327236452.post-33367989057710934232010-07-17T09:57:07.853-05:002010-07-17T09:57:07.853-05:00We tend to forget this affects more than just huma...We tend to forget this affects more than just humans.Alex J.
