Marshall County, Ind. –

As flooding threatens Plymouth and evacuations are taking place, animals are at risk and could die if left behind.

Never leave animals outdoors, tied up, crated, caged, in hutches, or confined in any other way, as they will be unable to flee rising waters. Anyone who sees animals in distress and is unable to help should note their locations and alert authorities immediately.

PETA has released a disaster-preparedness public service announcement. Make plans to ensure the safety of their animal companions. For more information, visit PETA.org.

Anyone who evacuates and intentionally abandons animals to fend for themselves may be prosecuted.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid E. Newkirk, PETA President and co-author of Animalkind
