I can understand your point in a NORMAL rescue situation, BUT, this was an extreamly LARGE rescue effort. Not that this may happen in the future, But IMO with a rescue like this, standards SHOULD be lowered. Reason being that IF this type of rescue ever happens again, these shelters who were excluded from the financial help because of the vaccines and/or tests they used, MAY NOT be so willing to help out the next time if the need should ever arise. These people realy put themselves out there to help only to be slapped in the face for their efforts. It's a shame that while these shelters were already stretched thin with finances low to start are now being told that NO, they are NOT getting financial help for their efforts from these large orginizations that they may have supported in the past. Again this is only MO. Debi [Posted in FML 5754]
