Angry Insult to Injury: Court Denies FL Condo Owners Opportunity to Save Their Pets

https://miami.cbslocal.com/2021/07/0...do-demolition/

Part of the condos were still standing, with pets inside. The govt. officials refused to let any of those owners, or their representatives, willing to sign any waiver of liability needed, go back in to retrieve their animals. Then they imploded those units, sealing the fates of those animals.

Despicable. Somebody would have had to actually shoot me to stop me from going in to get my pet if I lived there.

Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said Sunday, prior to the demolition, that she had made it “a priority since Day 1 to do absolutely everything possible to search for every animal.” She explained fire rescue crews did three full sweeps, including searching in closets and under beds and in unsafe areas. In addition to setting live traps, first responders also used cameras and drones with thermal imaging. After all those measures, they did not find any pets.
I'm pretty sure those pet owners weren't imagining that they owned pets. If the pets weren't found, then....they're STILL THERE. Unconscionable decision. If people are willing to risk their own lives.....let them.

I agree with your basic premise.

The difficulty arises when you would have had to shoot somebody to stop them from stopping you from going in to get your pet.

Ironic as it seems, they will kill you to prevent you from endangering yourself. Not to mention to prevent you from disobeying their orders.

My wife argued this was a good idea as in imagine a hippy volunteering and dying how horrible it would be. I fail to see the downside.
