These photos, taken by a member of Beirut for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, give a glimpse into what the situation is like for the animals that are stranded in Lebanon. Many of them have been left behind in the evacuation process, with the U.S. and other nations refusing to allow people to evacuate with them.
Someone's cat underneath a tank.
Several animals line the roads.
One dog who is dangerously close to a trench.
A dog stuck in a pen next to a car that was bombed.
It's insane to me that President Bush would force Americans to leave behind their animal companions. I mean, they're family members just like children are. There's no way I'd leave my canine friend Memphis behind to be killed by a missile. That is just fucking crazy.
Click here to send a message to Bush asking him to allow Americans to evacuate with their animal companions. If you live outside the States, use one of the following to send a message to your government to ask them to do their part:

That's terrible. It's just cold hearted to not allow pets to come too. If I were there and were denied the ability to bring my dogs and cats home with me, I would stay too. I would not let them down and abandon them. It sickens me that people are only interested in people. I only wish their were more ways to help. Any ideas anyone?
