Hurricane Victims Outside N.O. Suffering Hugely
From Mary Sparrowdancer

Hi Jeff - This commentary below was forwarded to me today by a friend who saw it
posted on a group. It is written by a woman in Luisiana who is a nurse and
animal rescuer, and it is about the smaller communities in Luisiana no one's
ever heard of, and which are not making the "news." These are devastated
communities following Katrina and they have received no help from FEMA or the
Red Cross. In some places, it's difficult to even establish communication
with the victims, and when the animal rescuers went in, they were stunned to
find that the humans there are in such deplorable conditions, they are begging
for blankets that have been donated for animals. I contacted this woman
today, and she has given me permission to send the info below to you...

"All the news is about New Orleans. I have a love/hate relation with New
Orleans. I grew up there. I'm almost 60 now. But New Orleans, with all it's
destruction, actually faired better than most communities. Granted, New Orleans
was heavier populated, but we can't overlook the many other areas simply because
no one has heard of them and because they're not tourist attractions. The other
people count, too.
As a nurse and an animal rescuer, having cared for and knowing so many of these
people and animals, I have been trying to do everything I can for both humans
and nonhumans since Katrina hit. I will live with stories that will haunt me
until the day I die. One of the most recent that has come to my attention is
also one of the worst.
The coastal areas of Louisiana, in Vermilion Parish, are/were inhabited with
generations of Acadian/Cajun people. This is where the dying language of Cajun
French is spoken. The majority of the population are animal and crop farmers.
Being closer to the Gulf, the tides and storm surges completely wiped out most
of everything that was there. Crops were destroyed. Large herds of cattle,
horses, pigs, and every other living animal known to those areas were either
swept out into the Gulf, or were left stranded on tiny islands of slightly
higher ground. The very most southern part, below HWY 82, looks like it was
never inhabited by any living beings. Wells that provided water are now ruined
from the salty Gulf and ocean waters. The land is a white/grayish color,
completely dead, and rendered totally useless by the salt water. Animals who
weren't washed out into the Gulf, and who have tried to survive on the remaining
salt saturated water and grass, have either died from dehydration from the salt
or are now very sick. These people are begging for the basic needs for
themselves, but are also desperately asking for the basic needs to try and keep
their animals alive as well.
Many of the people who lived in the area would not leave their family
homesteads, homesteads that have been passed down from several generations
before them. They wouldn't leave their animals or their crops as these were
their only means of survival, because of the love of their animals (not all are
raised to be slaughtered), and because their homes represent generations of
their families and culture.
Two days ago, I heard about an animal rescuer in one such little town called
Abbeville. Near Abbeville is another small, and just as unknown town called
Erath. I'm told there is an estimated 3,000 people there, many now living in
tents, without power and water, and who have not had any relief from FEMA and
little to none from the Red Cross. The news that upset me so badly, coming from
a fellow animal rescuer, is the fact that many of these people are actually
coming to this animal rescuer asking for water and blankets that have been
donated for the animals. As an avid animal lover and nurse, I can't begin to
explain to you how upsetting this is to me. What kind of society lets it's own
people go without the most basic needs to cause them to have to beg for water
and blankets that were donated for animals?!?
The animal rescuer I learned about normally aids smaller domestic animals, but
she's now forced to do what she can to provide water and blankets for humans, as
well as hay and feed for all kinds of livestock. Fencing, like everything else,
is now gone and badly needed. Vaccinations and medications are badly needed. I
would bet that the majority of the people who might read this have never heard
of any of this or even know there are places like Abbeville and Erath,
Louisiana. I live in Louisiana and I've never seen or heard about any of this
on our local news. How can that be? How can the governments and the news
forget or overlook thousands of US citizens living in total despair?!?
I just saw on the news that the big CEO of Pfister pharmaceutical company
donated millions in dollars and medications to earthquake victims in another
country, and was quoted as saying something to the effect that it was an
opportunity for him to give back to those who had nothing. Hello! What about
thousands of Americans from Texas to Alabama who now have nothing?!?
Thousands of families who are trying their best to get back on their feet and
rebuild or go on with their lives elsewhere are in limbo thanks to the federal
government. FEMA is out of money until the federal government refills their
bank account so FEMA can pay the millions of people who have paid for flood
insurance protection for years. The federal government is holding up funding
FEMA because they are to involved in arguing on the rights to drill for damnable
oil in the protected Arctic Wildlife Refuge in Alaska and won't pass the budget
bill without the provision allowing them those drilling rights. That should
tell you a LOT about the priorities and the alliances of our federal government!
Where is the aid from these rich and powerful oil companies that we recently
heard about making record breaking third quarter profits for 2005, and that are
responsible for destroying the marshes and wetlands that used to protect all of
our Gulf coast states? Those marshes and wetlands, had they not been destroyed
by oil drilling, would have prevented most of the destruction and would have
saved many of the thousands of lives taken by hurricanes Katrina and Rita and
hurricanes yet to come.
Americans have been hit and hit as hard as any people could be hit by the worst
disaster in the history of our nation, and federal aid is no where to be found.
Just as bad, there is no public outcry because there has been no news coverage
about these people.
How can this happen in the largest, richest, most powerful country..... or
was.....in the world?
