    Stupid.
    Well, agreed. But is there a better word, a more tactful one?

    Probably


    But why dress up idiocy.
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    Unless they are rabid and a danger to humans, who cares.

    Probably a lot of owners who have lost too much as is, Manker.....but you are right in that concentration on rescuing humans should come first.

    Have a wonderful friend who owned a home in Kenner, LA. He did take his family and pet and leave at the storms upgrading.

    He had a home and a good job there where he worked hard for everything he earned. He has gone back and retrieved what little he can from his home. His job is gone. They are relocating to the Austin, Texas area where they will stay with his brother until other arrangements can be made. He has flood insurance (hard to get a mortgage in a floodplain area without this insurace) and will start the lengthy NFIP procedures to file an insurance claim.

    I know he is relieved he and his family are alive and safe.

    I know he is much more fortunate than some of the others affected by this disaster. I know he knows it, too, and feels other's losses and the loss of others deeply.

    His sister tells me to not expect him to contact anyone soon. She says they are suffering from much shock and depair and it will be some time before they can come to terms with things enough to speak about the loss of their world as they knew it.

    I want to hug them and make it all better. It hurts not to be able to help with the pain.

    Of course not. Why would you say such a thing.
