Shapshot from bush's America: Dogs Eating the Dead...(graphic)

[mopaul]

don't worry america, just concentrate on 'what went right'.

[aquart]

1. Think ANY nation envies us now?

Poor desperate dog.

[mopaul]

2. I see 2 dogs, one's black

i imagine there are packs of starving, diseased dogs all over the city, all of which are doomed to be shot, or die a slow poisoned death.

[slor]

4. You are right...

what a horrifying picture!

[Nihil]

24. Yeah but who ever sees the black one?

(Not getting at anyone here, just thought it ironic that the black
dog also gets overlooked ...)

[Courtesy Flush]

36. One's hungry. One's a looter.

[Kota]

37. Yep.

[IndyOp]

42. The E. Coli levels in the flood water are 40,000 times 'healthful'

and we know what these pets are drinking.

:cry:

[hlthe2b]

3. Well, after seeing the blood drenched alligators in the church....

Where did you come across this photo, MoPaul?

[mopaul]

6. from a DU post last night

[Maru Kitteh]

43. Excuse me? blood drenched alligators in a church?

OMG.... I'm afraid to ask. How did I miss that one?

[elehhhhna]

64. Debunked? The allig. was dead--ng shot it.

"Ein toter Alligator lag am Eingang der "First Presbyterian Church". Die Nationalgarde hatte das Tier erschossen."

"A dead alligator lies in the entrance of the First Presbyterian Church. La Guardia Nacional shot the animal."

[kittenpants]

72. I think the original rumor was that the alligator was eating

the dead in NO. Maybe that's what the poster means by "debunked." That the blood is from it being shot, not necessarily from eating people.

[nicknameless]

5. Of course the "authorities" answer to this is to shoot the dogs rather

than rescue them.

[Arkansas Granny]

61. Sadly, this is probably true.

However, as much as I care about my dog, I would rather see her and die quickly than to see her live in these conditions. Sometimes, death is more humane than life.

[HardWorkingDem]

7. Folks.....I love animals....but....

imagine what it must be like. Remember what it is like to chase a dog that doesn't want to be caught. There aren't enough relief workers to remove victims and chase former pets too. Sadly, this is common in events such as this. Before long the dogs will be forming packs and becoming wild and feral.

Also, think about nighttime and diseases.

[mopaul]

8. malaria is coming, probably rabies too, bush is like a curse

i love animals too, and this is what starving animals do. one horror after another when there's a bush in the white house

[NorthernSpy]

49. I saw one feral dog pack roaming N.O. several years ago...

I'm a lifelong New Englander, and had never been to the South before.

Aside from all the obvious differences between the two regions, there was another difference that I could not quite put my finger on until much later. But, as it eventually seemed to me, this is it: New England is the definition of stolid, and there's always a certain normality, even when things are at their worst. While in the South, there's always somehow a faint scent of disaster in the air, even during ostensibly normal times.

[ClintonTyree]

9. Hey,this is no time to "play the blame game"...

:eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

[mopaul]

10. yeah, save that for the next democrat president

[OhioChick]

11. Unfortunately,

nature will do with what it has to survive. CNN reported last night of "new" photos coming out today of the dead.

[Guaranteed]

12. Jesus fucking Christ. nt

[leftchick]

13. America's Fallujah!!!!!

though I think the bodies were picked up quicker there.

:puke:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

18. That's what I thought of when I saw the pic

I really hope every person who voted for bush sees this picture. The are not without responsibility for these horrors.

[Hubert Flottz]

14. Is that guy better off now than he was four years ago?

Are the dogs better off?

[mopaul]

15. we're makin' progress, we're turnin' the corner, we're blaming the locals

[Hubert Flottz]

19. That dude needs to get up out of there and look for a job!

There's plenty of high octane gasoline out there, to get out of town on, if you have money and don't waste it on things like food, clothes, rent, electric, gas, water, telephone, church, beer, whores, dog food cat food, cigaretts, children's education, car payments, taxes, fica, cat food, TV cable, goldfish food, Bibles and $2,000 a plate republican fund raisers.

[Jimbo S]

87. And move out of his parent's (flooded) basement

:sarcasm:

[Disturbed]

17. Amerka is slipping down into the mire.

The RW plan is to turn Amerika into a Serfdom. Maybe that is why the Bush Admin. cut the funds for those levees?

[TWiley]

16. Hay, lets build a $20 billion levee in Iraq !

If we fight the water in Iraq, then we will not need to fight the water here at home any more.

[skooooo]

25. here's the thing that gets me....

They could have all lined their pockets AND kept us safe. How much money do they need????

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. Maybe it wasn't just about money.

Becoming clearer everyday, that it wasn't

[TWiley]

74. I am beginning to see this "disaster" in the same light.

Where are the pictures of starving and stranded white people?

[malaise]

20. Is this what Bush means when he spoke about

dignity for the dead? Fugging hell - this is grotesque.

[Hubert Flottz]

22. "Ownership"

The dogs own that body.

Neocon "MORALITY", letting 10,000 people die because your rich buddies needed the money more than the poor people in America, who WORK for a living.

[Jimbo S]

88. "Culture of Life" eom

[bpilgrim]

21. Added to the Katrina Archive

27. 'what country is this' kick

[earth mom]

28. We are NOT a civilized country any longer.

:puke:

:cry:

[defiant1]

29. Omg....

:puke:

Goddamn you, Bush.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

30. Welcome to America, I hope you enjoy your stay!

:grr:

[Tsiyu]

31. But we're safer, now!

And gays can't marry!

And corporations finally have the heightened status they deserve in society!

Fuck human life!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Dollars RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


P.S. Why do you hate America, mopaul? For its freedoms? Huh?

[mopaul]

33. i'm off my meds, or i too would just shut up and love america

[Tsiyu]

57. meds or no meds

not much to love these days, is there?

Keep at it mopaul. You never fail to inspire and you express what many are feeling but won't say.

[MsUSA]

32. Can't someone send this to all news outlets please???

oh that's right, they're not showing any dead bodies. This is just so insane, it's just not right, I'm sick. I'm just sick.

[greblc]

116. Send this to news outets & Senators .

I think our politicians need to see their handiwork.

The press during the 40's 50's and 60's put photos of dead people in the paper all the time. Look at Cable TV & Movies, what makes them think reality should be censored? These photo's are who we are. We made this monster (Iraq & N.O.) and the public should be forced to look at themselves in the mirror.

[leftofthedial]

35. Brownie, you're doing a great job!

[msongs]

38. what is the SOURCE for this "picture"? photoshop? nt

[mopaul]

40. why would anyone create such an image? it's real---here's the link

http://photobucket.com/albums/b312/katrinadisaster/?sc=1

[KansDem]

44. Was that the thread that was shut down?

There was a thread yesterday that offered views of photos the Bushistas didn't want seen...and it was shut down, I believe. Was this one of the photos?

[mopaul]

45. i don't know

[Maru Kitteh]

60. Why was it shut down? Do you know? What was the title?

[KansDem]

67. I thought someone had posted these photos on a website...

...and linked to DU with a thread title of something like "Photos the government doesn't want you to see" but about halfway down (after a few posts), the OP posted a message of something like "...SOMEONE (WITH THE INITIALS F.E.M.A.) SHUT DOWN THE WEBSITE" or something to that effect. Anyway, the site was then inaccessible. I wondered it the photos had been posted elsewhere and if the one in the OP here was one of those.

Sorry, that's all I can remember...

[Lone_Star_Dem]

70. It's from the thread yesterday where the site was flooded with packets

They in turn removed the photos. However, the thread is still there, however, and you can find the link toward the bottom where mopaul got the pic.

110. thank you. photos should be required viewing for neocons & freepers. n/t

[ohio_liberal]

39. Wow

Where did you find this pic?

[peekaloo]

41. WH spin: Dog rescuers workin' hard in La. No film at 11:00.

:cry:

[Maru Kitteh]

55. I hope they have enough resources too so many dogs left to fend alone

:cry:
It's not the POOR DOGS FAULT that they're having to eat THE ONLY MEAT that is left for them.

Dear God I'm sick.

[DixieDem]

98. Where did you get this photo from?

This looks so much like my own little shih tzu. I'm crying (again) right now. I'd love to adopt or foster this little fur baby. Any more info?

[KharmaTrain]

46. Did These Dogs Find Him...

...or is this looting?

Sickening, yet a compelling image...the symbolism is beyond words.

I wouldn't show this image except to the worst freeper and then wish him a pleasant day. This is what his/her vote last November brought.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

47. Confiscating all cameras

http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/pol/96042255.html

[B3Nut]

65. That oughta be a capital offense.

Confiscating the means of documenting government evils is treason against democracy and against humanity. There is no excuse.

Todd in Beerbratistan

[Bernardo de La Paz]

71. I don't think there is any law which allows them to confiscate.

It is my understanding that they can ask a photographer to leave a scene if the photographer may be in the way or at risk, but they can't confiscate a photographer's tool of the trade, their engine of freedom of expression.

[abbiehoff]

73. You need to start a thread with this information.

I skipped this one for a long time, because I just couldn't face seeing the pic. People need to know about the camera confiscation.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

78. Thanks; Started a thread

Thanks for the encouragement. I started a thread:

[kma3346]

48. Horrifying

I am sitting here with tears running down my face. This image shocks me to my very core. And I'm sure that there are many, many other images that we are not going to be allowed to see. This is beyond horrifying. My God, what has our country come to?

[AzDar]

50. Oh, Jeebus..WHAT has this Fucking Monkey done to our Country???

n/t

[Fluffdaddy]

51. MY GOD

[nookiemonster]

52. This is real life, and the fuckers want to filter this from America.

No amount of rhetoric in the world can even touch the visual inpact of this photo.

Disturbing, but very powerful, and hopefully persuasive.

[mod mom]

53. This horrific seen is brought to you by GOP incompetence, disregard for

human life and rampant cronyism.

Would someone please get this photo in the hands of sympathetic journalists? I would, but I don't know how to copy photos.

[gauguin57]

54. Whatever happened to "respect for life"?

This was someone's loved one. Those who don't know where their loved ones are might look at this picture and think, "Maybe that's my brother, being eaten by dogs." New Orleanians will never recover, emotionally, from pictures like this. Abandoned by their country. Abandoned by their government.

Dead people left all over the place to be eaten by dogs. In the United States of America. With an alleged "culture of life."

They care more about fetuses than they do about people.

Goddamn this administration to hell. Goddamn their dark souls to hell.

My God, what has happened to us?

[ohio_liberal]

58. Not abandoned by the people

There are too many people, Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, etc. who have done done an end run around the federal government to help people. The gulf has not been abandoned by the people. Our government has cast us to the wind. It's a fucking shame. We were meant for so much more.

[mogster]

56. Appalling! n/t

[txaslftist]

59. Oh my god.

[Pinksan]

62. My 14 year old daughter asked if we could move to Canada

I agree, this country is ruined, and I don't know if we can take it back. I greive for the children. I am ashamed of our government. I fear what lies ahead. That photo could be my son or husband being nothing more than dog meat.

FUCK YOU BUSH AND CO. This country is in for more evil than it has ever known.


:hide:

[mnhtnbb]

107. We have bought property in Panama

and contracted to build a house. Hoping for it to be complete by Christmas 2006. Unfortunately, our 15 yo son won't graduate high school until 2008.

We had hoped to not retire before he finished high school.
Now, who knows?

[vickitulsa]

63. I've had images like this in my mind for days...

and unfortunately they're now appearing in my dreams. Call them nightmares. I haven't had nightmares since 9/11, and I have to say even those horrors weren't as bad as these!

I don't think Americans -- a great many of us, at least -- will need to see photos like this in order to imagine just what those roving packs of poisoned, starving dogs are doing as they try to survive. It really is Nature -- thrown back several big stages in what was previously a relatively "civilized" domain.

I DO think it's a good idea to get such photos as this "out there," however. Just in case....

I visited New Orleans once, when I got to go along with my fiance and his parents on their last "family" vacation, our (high school) senior year. We got lost several times and I'm sure the parts of the city we saw that way were NOT the ones we tourists were intended to see. I was reminded of those scenes years later when my parents and I, along with three other couples from the "snowbirds'" trailer park in Alamo, TX (in the Rio Grande Valley) went across the border for some shopping in Mexico. The van driver got a little off the beaten tourist track then, too, and I saw poverty as I'd never seen it before -- except something close in New Orleans in 1967 on that vacation "tour."

But my point is, Nature is savage, but perhaps no more savage than what we sometimes like to think of as "civilization." AND I do believe images like the one in the OP here will be inevitably coming to people's minds -- not only in America but around the world -- as the true extent of the "natural disaster" called Katrina sinks in. Everyone already knows how badly the rescue and relief effort by the federal government was handled. No amount of BushCo's repeating "what went right" is going to wipe away the impression the rest of the country and the rest of the world has of America now. Appointing Karen Hughes as a PR chief to try to change minds isn't going to do it either.

Nor is clapping "Brownie" on the back and congratulating him on the "good job" he's doing. Who's THAT gonna fool?? Only an imperial "president" could even dream it would! A "dear leader" whose disconnect from "his" people is pretty much complete.

I think it is ONLY scenes such as these, whether viewed as photos or just imagined as people THINK about what's REALLY going on in the Gulf Coast now, that will bring home to everyone just how WRONG this particular Bush presidency has been all along. It's all just SO HUGE, the disaster, and the catastrophe AFTER the hurricane disaster called Katrina. It ain't goin' away ... and BushCo ain't gonna convince many that it's been anything other than what it is.

What's that saying I hear a lot these days?

"IT IS WHAT IT IS."

~VV

76. The Republican States of America.

Bodies strewn over the landscape, lost and ravenous pets roaming in search of their owners and homes, destroyed and abandoned cities, marginal pumped up fuck ups with loose trigger fingers: scenes from the Apocalypse, Now.

[Mutley]

79. God, how horrifying!

:cry: How awful for that man, and those dogs, and for every other thing down there. Is this America? IS IT? We're not supposed to see these things in this country! For shame GWB. You and everyone who supports you will rot in hell.

[redqueen]

80. Oh my God...

WHY are they turning people away? People who could be helping to collect these bodies? NO it's not safe, but people want to help! Let them sign fucking waivers! Let them help!

Goddamn it!

[jjanpundt]

81. Ok this may be a silly question

has there always been this long a delay in retreiving the dead? Is it a matter of not enough rescue/relief people to retrieve the dead? I understand the importance of concentrating on search and rescue of the living, but I can't recall in any other disaster just leaving the dead souls to lie there and decompose. All of the reporters keep mentioning the bodies just lying there. It just seems so utterly atrocious.

[Maru Kitteh]

82. Not a silly question and you are right

Neglect like this has never been tolerated.

[mopaul]

83. kick for the cover of Time Magazine

84. Hannity and O'Reilly were mad the other day because...

[Zodiak]

106. that is what the GRAPHIC warning is for

I appreciate your sympathy for this poor soul, but you came in this thread on your own volition.

The least you could do is act mature when expressing your dismay. This is not propaganda...this is the reality of New Orleans. I seriously do not understand why Ameicans feel they have the right to be sheltered from death and the dead.

It SHOULD revile you, it SHOULD make you angry, but not want to "kick" the messenger's ass. If you don't want your world shattered, avoid the thread.

It does not dignify the dead to hide them after an incredible disaster like this in an effort to protect the government that killed them. It was the government that made this issue political by killing these people.

115. What were the allegations?

I know nothing of this.

[marshall]

117. Now he has retracted

His allegation was that people were eating cadavers. It was the first thing he mentioned on his blog at Huffingtonpost. But now he has added a retraction. I'm surprised he included something so outrageous.
