Cats and dogs rescued from the disaster region had evidence of multiple infectious diseases. The dispersal of potentially infectious animals to other regions of North America where some infections were not typically found could have contributed to new geographic ranges for these organisms or to underdiagnosis in affected animals because of a low index of suspicion in regions with low disease prevalence.

“…On the other hand, studies, reports, and media highlight common occurrences such as animal abandonment and sensational cases of animal hoarding or dog fighting (Arluke 2006). Even studies depicting a range of relationships tend to depict relations as existing along a single continuum, for example, in terms of the strength of the human-animal bond or level of attachment (Salman et al 1998;Heath, Voeks and Glickman 2001). While these accounts represent important aspects of human-canine relations, and potentially a growing segment of American pet owners, alone, they paint an incomplete portrait of the everyday, American pet owner.…”

This paper examines the variations in dog owners' attitudes toward, treatment of, and interactions with, animals. Based on 28 in-depth interviews with dog owners from a county in the Midwestern United States, I demonstrate that pets are an important part of many people's lives, often providing companionship, entertainment, and meaningful interactions; however, there are notable, distinct variations in how people relate to them. Pet owners typically exhibit one of three orientations toward pets: "dominionistic," "humanistic," or "protectionistic." The dominionistic have relatively low regard for their pets, valuing them primarily for the uses they provide, such as protection. Those employing the humanistic orientation elevate their pets to the status of surrogate humans and value their pets primarily for the affective benefits they enjoy from their close attachments. The protectionistic have high regard for both pets and animals more generally. They view pets as valuable companions and as creatures with their own interests. This typology offers insights for understanding the source and variety of the often ambiguous and contradictory relations between people and pets. I argue that individual characteristics and experiences impact how people understand and relate to animals, in large part, because they represent exposure to different cultural messages. I suggest that these orientations represent three sets of distinct cultural logics, each with distinct histories and contemporary sources.

“…Only a limited number of respondents in the sample reported keeping animals-only 15 mentions of animals appear in the interview record. This small number may have to do with the comparatively large number of recent immigrants to the Chicago area in the interview sample, and it may reflect different cultural standards about animals among the large portion of the sample that originally comes from Mexico and Central America (Wolch and Emel, 1998;Heath, Voeks, and Glickman, 2001). In addition, a disproportionately large portion of the sample had young children, so keeping a pet may be something that these families place on hold while the children are small.…”

Uniting multi‐adult households during emergency evacuation planning

When a no-notice emergency prompts an evacuation, family members in different locations throughout a city may unite so that they can evacuate as a group. This paper draws on data from more than 300 interviews conducted in the metropolitan area of Chicago, Illinois, United States. The study uses discrete choice models to analyse the expectations of respondents regarding whether their likely plans for evacuation involve gathering spouses, parents, adult-age children, and/or non-family members. In addition, it addresses the matter of whether respondents plan to reunite with family members at home. Individuals' access to a personal car is the dominating factor in predicting whether respondents plan to gather a spouse. Being the parent of a child under the age of 18 years increases the tendency to report planning to reunite with family members at home. Both commute mode and car availability are not significantly associated with plans to reunite at home.
