post-katrina, our treatment of animals significantly changed in these disasters and most of the dogs are being protected

there are a few instances of this but most of them are being rescued. note that this is from boredpanda, a clickbait site, and not an actual news source--it's showing a few photos of the dogs with shit owners, and not data that suggests this is happening on a wide scale.

the real tragedy was in the canine shelters, many of them outdoor-only. there, any dogs who couldn't be tagged by rescues to be transported north had to be put down because the alternative was a lot worse. luckily, the storm motivated people to donate and rescues to act, and many shelters were able to completely clear out their dogs to rescues.
