PET PROTECTION
The chaotic evacuation of hundreds of thousands of New Orleans’ residents as Katrina hit has been well documented, but the abandonment of up to 50,000 pets isn’t a story that gets a lot of attention. You may ask yourself, why should we be focusing on pets when there were so many human lives at stake?
It’s a fair question, but if you’re a pet owner, and there are many in this country, you have a very different point of view. Correspondent Jeffrey Kofman has found some new ways for pet owners to protect their loved ones when the next hurricane hits. Jeffrey reports from Miami, where Tropical Storm Ernest will come ashore later this evening.
