A Noah's Ark of animals rescued from Hawaii lava

PAHOA, Hawaii (Reuters) - When hundreds of residents of Hawaii's Big Island fled their homes after the Kilauea volcano erupted, some left behind not only most of their belongings, but also their beloved pets.

In the two weeks since fountains of lava and poisonous gas spewed from the volcano, volunteers have made heroic efforts to retrieve a veritable Noah's Ark of dogs and cats, geese and ducks, cows and goats, horses, cattle and exotic birds. Many were reuniting with their owners at evacuation shelters.

The animal-friendly Red Cross shelter in Pahoa, a town about 25 miles (40 km) east of the volcano, has about 100 dogs and 30 cats, along with bunnies, birds and pigs, said Burgandy Singleton, a Hawaii Island Humane Society volunteer.

"Quite the crazy farm right now," Singleton said. "We are housing everything from wee little creatures to ginormous beasts and no trouble. With that many personalities mixing it up, it’s been amazing.”

We haven't heard much on the news about this devasting disaster in Hawaii. Many have lost everything. I am soooo pleased that groups are going in to rescue these animals!

I feel when we show our love for animals, we show our love to the universe/God and uplift our own souls. We often look at the bad out there. I wanted to showcase some "good" for a change.

I’m so happy to hear this. I saw a horrible video yesterday on FB of two men using a blow torch on a dog. It was suspose to raise awareness of animal abuse but I find these reprehensible! Sharing these videos makes the abuaers famous. I won’t share them. It wrecked me seeing that. What is wrong with people. I’m glad there are some wonderful human beings out there doing good.
