Katrina Livestock and Animal Rescue!
Steve Spence
I got your contact info from one of the alt fuels groups I'm on...and wanted to know if you could help out several folks, including commercial livestock shippers and some farm owners, who are despirately trying to get supplies to folks and horses, pets, etc, OUT of the area. There are methods in place to help people, but not the animals, and some people won't leave their animals until help arrives to get their livestock and pets out. As a farm owner, I cannot imagine what they are going through!
Locals, the few with fuel, have helped by trucking horses to designated pick up spots, and I can get info on these locations to you.
I personally know those who have taken their rigs down to the areas to get these supplies in and the animals out, and they are doing this with their own limited $$ supply. They have stopped at a PetSmart that donated tons of feed and supplies, and one other feed store that supplied hay and horse feed...so loaded trucks are down there. They have said that their rigs are being damaged due to so many down power lines and trees.
Biodiesel for truck fuel would really help them out, so I'm trying to be a go-between here, as they are down there trucking in and out of cell phone range. We are talking about 3/4 and 1 ton trucks pulling gooseneck horse trailers, not big rigs as far as I know right now. They are trucking most horses to the upper south for temporary safe-keeping.
Please let me know ASAP if this is a possibility, or where these guys might be able to go and get some free fuel.
If you have any additional ideas concerning this issue, please let me know.
thanks,
