Egypt Uprising Leaves Pets In Need. You Can Make A Difference.

Bruce Friedrich, Vice President for Policy with PETA, has criticized the U.S. government for not allowing U.S. Nationals to take their animal companions with them as they fled the turmoil-stricken area, likening it to the Hurricane Katrina rescue efforts in the United States that forced people to choose between risking their own lives or staying behind to protect their animals.
Volunteers at the Egyptian Society for Mercy to Animals (ESMA) have been caring for the dozens of cats and dogs that have flooded the shelter since the protests began.
