As floods threaten your area 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 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.
Anyone who evacuates and intentionally abandons animals to fend for themselves may be prosecuted.
PETA has release a disaster-preparedness public service announcement featuring Dean Winters. Make plans to ensure the safety of animal companions. For more information, please visit PETA.org.
