More from Gail Kemp Sheffield and Hurricane Katrina

Dear Friends: 
From deep in the heart of blackness (well, ok, on the edge of the hurricane stuff), let me make a suggestion to those of you who are "animal people," which describes most of the people I know (or care to know). If you are considering making a donation, keep in mind that your pennies are nothing but a spit in the big well of the Red Cross and Salvation Army. The affected people have all of those resources plus the federal government, etc., etc. Millions of animals have perished, and some have been rescued and evacuated-mostly cats and dogs, some horses. Having been involved with an animal welfare organization for the past 2 years, I know that these organizations, even in the best of times, operate on the edge of financial disaster. Now, . . . .  Amounts of money that are insignificant to the big charities are windfalls to the small animal organizations. Believe me, even $20 is something to ooh and ah over. So, please consider diverting some of your compassionate dollars to these creatures who didn't have the opportunity to get out--most of the people could have and in fact, were ordered to. The animals had no such option. Also, if you agree with this, please send it out to other animal people you know. If you want recommendations as to recipients, I will be happy to look into the options.
