For those who are local, you should be aware of the Jesusita fire that is currently raging in Santa Barbara county. For the non-local, this is central California, a beautiful place with lots of cultural charm, including one of the California Missions. EVERY local channel is covering the fire. A terrible story emerged about a half hour ago. A homeowner left her home this morning because the situation was looking up. Around noon the situation turned drastically wrong so she called Animal Rescue to save her 10 cats. By the time Animal Rescue got to the house it was completely gone. The reporter spoke of how the Animal Rescuer broke down in tears. Being a pet owner myself, I completely understand how horrific and guilty that rescuer must be feeling. I believe in the sanctity of human life (for the most part, with exceptions of course) but I also strongly believe in the sanctity of animal life. Our pets and animals are precious and every effort should be made to protect them from tragedies such as this. I said a little prayer for those 10 lost cat souls and for their owner who must be understandably devastated and distraught. My heart is broken...
