If I saw a pet store with four feet of water, knowing that animals were inside, I probably would have broken a few laws to save as many as possible. The thought of 100 animals slowly dying from drowning makes me physically ill.

I can never figure out why some people think helping and caring about animals means not helping or caring about people.
BTW I've volunteered with a rescue organization for years, I know a lot of people who work with animals and most of us don't like PETA either. But that doesn't mean they're wrong all the time. Any reasonable person would protest this person's decision not to let his employees take the animals to safety.
How, exactly, is this relevant to the topic at hand?
Most normal people with enough compassion to help an animal are the first to extend a hand to a fellow human being.
Doesnt take a PhD to figure that out.
I have a lot of animal shelter contacts in North Carolina and many of them resorted to mass euthanizing before the storm hit to clear out the shelters. There was no way for them to move all the animals and I heard reports from the shelter managers of past major storms that hit where many of the animals that were left behind drowned in their cages.
Obviously, if there was any way possible for them to move the animals to a safe location, that should be the first option taken. If they knowingly allowed the animals to drown to their deaths before first exhausting ALL other possible options, they should absolutely be charged with animal cruelty.

Because some people think they have the moral right to tell you and me who to feel compassion for and where to send our donations.
They do not mess around with people who buy luxury cars and spend a fortune on clothes and live in luxury homes. They respect their right to spend their money as they wish.
But somehow they do not respect my right to decide who I should help with my time and money when I decide to help animals.
Not sure why. Probably they see dog owners in the street petting their dogs and feel jealous.
