  1. In situation like this, I'd either get my – and not just mine – animals out of the fire, or burn together with them trying to get them out.
    There's no third option. I'd not be able to stand there and watch, no matter what.

  2. PLEASE READ IF YOU LOVE ANIMALS…..
    Outside of the horse racing industry, very few people know about the cruel practice of “nurse mare foals.” These baby horses are bred specifically to keep their mothers making milk, which is then used nourish potential race horses. Tragically, the foals themselves are usually euthanized.

    Victoria Goss was horrified to learn about this terrible practice, because she knew that with the proper care, all of those foals could grow up to be healthy, adoptable horses. She soon realized what she had to do…

  3. 1:10 of I was that horse, I would’ve kicked him in the nuts for leaving me to die. That’s not love. It’s called being a fake friend. And I already deal with enough of those in my human life.

  4. Over 10K animals are displaced due to California's wildfires. It's heartbreaking to see animals become lost or hurt. Support orgs like Lisa Vanderpump's Rescue Center, the Humane Society of Ventura County (HSVC), and @t. Let's come together and rescue these animals–both wild and pets. Let's help unite these pets with their owners. EMMA CHAI, a fashion brand, is helping! Go to http://www.emmachai.com.

  5. More than 1,000 pets missing plus hundreds of cows and horses and wild life that were killed , just devastating and my soul hurts for the people but specialy for the animals that mostly had no chance and died a horrible death

  6. Reality check, when it comes to life and death animals mean nothing, they're just there for your entertainment, look there's a fire, let's get out of here, screw those animals.

  7. God bless U for rescueing those animals. I have seen B4 where people have lost everything and R shattered but if the find their pet has survived it gives them the mental courage to rebuild and go on.

  8. After Katrina a law was past 'pet evacuation' law.TAKE YOUR PETS WITH YOU!Hotels and shelters in the state must allow them or the state can't receive money from FEMA…

  9. Those poor helpless pets and animals…and then the wildlife, my heart breaks for them…I am just praying for them all and that somehow they didn’t all perish in the smoke and flames and darkness 🙁 ? ??

  10. All pets, livestock should be banned/outlawed in all California,,These fires will only continue to grow more dangerous over the coming centuries,,Why allow pets/animals to be burned alive by helpless owners? I say all pets should be released by owners and no live stock allowed on ranches in California,,Effective immediately/ Come on folks this irresponsibility is inexcusable.

  11. Assholes that leave their dogs and animals behind should be burned alive. Shoot them. Tar and feather.

    Rescue animal. Find owner. Kill owner.

  12. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of the people who are going there and rescuing the most innocent. That last clip though pisses me off. That dude left his horse inside his enclosure for the fire?! WTF man. He could have at least opened the gate so he would have had a fighting chance if the fires turned on his house and pen!!!! So many people had to do this and just open the gates so the animals could try and run away if the fire came up there. They were smart to write their phone numbers on the horses beforehand or put duct tape around their leg with the info. YOU DON'T ABANDON YOUR ANIMALS IN ANY SORT OF NATURAL DISASTER, EVER!!!!!! I even saw a picture of a person driving slowly down the road in their car with their window rolled down and they had the horses lead in the other hand! Or ride the horse out of there with the other horses connected behind! But you don't fricking leave your animals INSIDE their barn or fenced in just so they can slowly be roasted alive. And the people who left their small animals behind like the dogs and cats, really upset me. 🙁 Anyway, THANK YOU for posting this story. I am so glad to see so many wonderful volunteers helping to go and find injured or loose animals. May this horrific fire be over soon. I wish it would rain there so much 🙁

  13. How can anyone be so heart hearted and callous as to dislike this video? I hope Karma bites you. Thank you to all who are helping animal and human alike.

  14. what if people start setting the city on fire… like if aresenastist team up with the firestorm… like the fire needs help to survive and they should start it up TGB the way i mean it

  15. How can people leave their pets behind knowing they will burn in the fire? That's like leaving a family member behind to their death. To me that is a murder and should be prosecuted. What kind of a person would do that to their own pets. How can they sleep at night knowing they left their dog or cat behind in their burning house. Sick bastards.

  16. You know why animals are carefully rescued?

    Because animals are "valued" more than blacks, browns, and other non-white lives in the eyes of whites in many cases.

  17. Rest in peace to the innocent souls of the people and fur babies that didn't make it. It would be heartbreaking trying to get to my home to save those souls and told I couldn't. California needs pipelines from lakes/rivers and pipelines from the sea with desalinisation pumps NOW!

  18. The community around Paradise desperately needs help due to tens of thousands of now homeless people and animals. Truly is an epic disaster.
