Found out yesterday morning that Second Chance, a "no-kill" non-profit shelter run by CenTex Humane Society, had a fire this weekend, and over 100 animals died. Details are sparse but I'm pretty sure I don't need to know any more than that.
Fire is my own particular special horror; I have a quiet, creeping fear of one day coming home and finding my house gone and my animals suffocated or burned to death. I have seen animals that were pulled from house fires and I can tell you it is not how I would want to go.
Animal shelters are my other own particular special horror, right up there with nursing homes. Places we store the unwanted & unloved because nobody can be bothered with them. They're basically museums for humanity's failings.
Needless to say the thought of hundreds of animals dying in cages, terrified and alone, will be haunting me for some time.
How you can help.
