As Hurricane Milton approached Florida, the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) rescued a dog tied to a pole on I-75 in Tampa, highlighting the urgency of not abandoning pets during evacuations. Governor Ron DeSantis and PETA have strongly condemned such actions, emphasizing the cruelty and ensuring accountability for those who mistreat animals. The viral rescue video has garnered significant attention, with authorities stressing the importance of including pets in disaster plans. As the hurricane, described as 'catastrophic', threatens Florida's west coast, several pet-friendly shelters in Orange County have opened, providing refuge for evacuees and their pets. Officials continue to urge residents to heed evacuation orders and prepare adequately, as the storm is expected to make landfall as a Category 4 hurricane. The incident underscores the broader issue of pet abandonment during natural disasters, prompting coordinated rescue efforts by animal welfare organizations.
