Why?  Because animals don't have voices.  They can't bang on the roof to
let the helicopters know that they are inside and need help.  They can't
say that they are hungry or thirsty.  They can't say that they feel bad
or are sad because they've lost family.  That's why.  And a life is a
life, whether it is a human or a dog, no matter that some people place
different values on different types of life.  I argue for just the
opposite, I say that with all of the media focused on helping the humans
(and I am very greatful for that), we should get more attention on
helping the animals that were left behind that might still be alive.
