Fort McMurray Hamsters

[Catherine]

I have been following the story and a lot of effort has been made to rescue all of the animals in the area. The shelters took in hamsters and lizards and rabbits and snakes. No animal was left behind if they could get to it.

Animals were left in their homes because their owners were not at home when the fire forced people to flee. Most people couldn't get to their homes. The lucky ones have homes to go back to. Sadly some areas neighbourhoods were destroyed. I am sure some pets were lost because of the fire, but it is amazing how much was done to rescue them.

I love the fact that the Premier stopped and actually met with rescued animals.
