Pets Left Behind

Tonight's Nightline show focuses on the pets that are left behind in their human caretakers' foreclosed homes. What a shame for all and a terrible act on the part of the humans who are supposed to take care of them. There's no mercy in leaving them behind and it certainly is not a responsible thing to do. At the least, take them to the nearest shelter, preferably one that is no-kill or low-kill, so that they can get into a loving home instead of being euthanized in a three-day temporary "shelter" or starve to death in the backyard. What about family and friends who can take them in temporarily also?
