28. The only sound in NOLA
In the early days after Katrina hit, reporters at the scene wrote that the only sound in NOLA, was the crying and wailing of dogs and cats. Now NOLA is becoming still. This is not because the animals have been saved.

There were an estimated 50,000 abandoned pets in the area. To this date, just over 5,000 have been rescued. That leaves approximately 45,000 left behind, starving, dying unimaginably agonizing deaths. Waiting. And waiting. For rescue. And increasingly ... waiting in vain.

RAGE.
