I'm very very upset right now. I just found out that our neighbors failed to evacuate their goats and dog during the flood and they all drowned. Not only did the not evacuate them, they left them locked in the barn so the poor things couldn't even try to make it to higher ground!
When we came out to check on our property they were there and asked us to borrow our canoe because they had left a dog in the house and wanted to get him. They never mentioned the goats or the other dog! I even asked if it was Jackson in the house and she said no, it was a different dog. She failed to say that Jackson was in the barn drowning!!!!!
We did not have our canoe with us and reassured her that the dog in the house would be ok since the house is on a berm and above the flood waters. If we had known that the goats and other dog were suffering we would of gotten the canoe immediately!
I'm so angry, upset and literally ill over this. Did they not see us moving our horses out? All they had to do was say something and we would of loaded up the goats in the trailer and taken them with us to the fairgrounds. Anyway, Wade called Animal Control and left a message plus called the owner of the property and left a message with him. Probably nothing will be done but people need to be aware of this.
I'll never look at them the same again. I'm just sick.
