Diane, rescue for the animals from the Katrina disaster has
reached critical stages.

http://www.indybay.org/news/2005/11/1783818.php

"The state has announced that the Hurricane Katrina rescue phase is
over. Out-of-state veterinarians are banned from volunteering
their services on behalf of the animals of greater New Orleans.
Rescuers have been threatened with arrest if they attempt to give
food and water to animals in Orleans Parish. Outside rescue groups
are told they should turn all operations over to local authorities
and leave the state. "
