Why Does The Government Violate The Natural Right Of Property Of Pet Owners

New Orleans and our efforts there is a black mark on the United States governments and their ability to deal with catastrophic events. Katrina hit the Gulf Cost an demolished not only the homes and businesses but the ability of the United States local, state, and federal governments to act coherently or united. The side effect of this is the deplorable condition the humans and animals of New Orleans descended into.

The government recovered a least to a functional level of coherency so that relief caravans arrived four days after the initial disaster and began removing people from the devastated city. When they evacuated the people the would not take their pets. Pets are according to our laws considered property and the natural right of property should have kicked in. I can quote the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the Preamble once more but if you are really interested please look them up and see what they say. The short of it is that the government has no right to deprive someone of their property unless for the general welfare or similar reasons.

At first the government did have plenty of reason to deny individuals the right to bring their pets and place those whom insisted on doing so at the end of the line. That reason being the general welfare of the populace but as soon as the majority of the humans were removed the individuals and their pets should have been allowed to leave also out of respect for the right to life of both the humans and animals. More Animal Rescue Groups should have been allowed in just like those whom job it is to rescue people. New Orleans is a environmental disaster and no person or animal should be left to languish under those conditions that can be helped.

It is very deplorable that Americans are willing to act so inhumane toward animals as to abandon them or force others to abandon them in such a barren area Please speak in defense of these animals the government abused and neglected.
