I can certainly understand abandoning an animal if it means we would die together if I stayed. I couldn't put an animal down if there was a snowball's chance it could survive or be rescued later.

<sigh> Sure there are barn and feral cats that do well, but it is abuse to do such a thing under normal circumstances. Obviously, some of these people had no choice in Louisiana - if it was their life or the animals or if they are forced to leave. I'm fairly certain that under the law normally you'd be charged with cruelty or abandonment. A few success stories do not make it okay.
