Charleston, South Carolina – Since a tornado watch was released in the Charleston area, PETA shares tips for animal safety.
- Animals must Never leave in chains or trapped outsidewhere they cannot escape from strong winds, flying debris and crumbling structures. The dogs were sucked into the air – a doghouse and all – during a tornado, so the animals need to be taken inside to a safe place.
- Guardians you also need to take animals with you if it becomes necessary to move to a more durable structure or hide underground.
- Anyone who sees animals in distress and cannot help should note the whereabouts of the animals and warn the authorities immediately…
