London, Ont. –

With a flood threatening Port Bruce and evacuations potentially taking place, animals could die if left behind. This information will undoubtedly save many animals’ lives and avoid much human remorse.

Never leave animals outdoors, tied up, crated, caged, in hutches, or confined in any way, as they will be unable to flee rising waters. Anyone who sees animals in distress and is unable to help should note their locations and alert authorities immediately.

PETA has released a disaster-preparedness public service announcement. For more information, please visit PETA.org.

Anyone who evacuates and intentionally abandons animals to fend for themselves may be prosecuted.
