Thousands of pets are said to be stranded and starving to death in New Orleans 


The Telegraph reported, "Hundreds [of pets] have drowned in the flood waters, their carcasses littering the city, and the yelps and cries of countless others echo through the deserted streets of New Orleans." 

According to the Telegraph, "Thousands of pets are stranded and starving to death, their owners dead or forced to abandon them as they were evacuated to emergency shelters."

Volunteers from the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have begun visiting addresses where animals were left behind to try to save them. Special shelters have been set up with vets to treat survivors.
