It’s really hard for me to think about this, I think part of me has been denying its existence. I have a different emotional response when it comes to animals. Partly because of their dependance on humans which often makes them extremely and unfairly vulnerable. And because of their admired innocence. I almost can’t let myself build any sort of mental image of what this situation must look like now.
When everybody evacuated, what about the animals left behind? If there’s no food or water for people, how are they expected to live? If they were lucky, they are somehow still alive today. If they’re even luckier they will be rescued by the amazing people going out there to save them, like the volunteers of the Emergency Animal Rescue Service and the United Animal Nations organization. But now foster homes are desperately needed, and volunteers are willing and waiting to drive dogs and cats anywhere they need to go. Please check out the link at the top of this post to see how you can help, whether it’s fostering or donating money. I recommend both. It’s a shame that so many living creatures must needlessly suffer now because of the thoughtless and greedy actions (or rather: inactions) of others.
