Politically correct. A term generally applied to Corporate America, political figures, and others. Buzzwords which represent certain ideals for one administration and can take on new meaning as the torch is passed on to a successor.
Perhaps being politically correct does not apply to emergency preparedness especially when pets and livestock are involved. 'Procrastination' and 'Complacency' are more fitting words for this matter.
Certain towns and cities throughout the United States learn to prepare for incidents which have a strong likelihood of occurring like tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. Emergencies that involve house fires, rioting, extended blackouts, and home invasions can occur anywhere though some are more prevalent than others. The liklihood that your pet will at some point be in need of your care during such an emergency is actually more likely than one might think.
Residents begin developing plans and gathering items designed to handle these unpredictable emergencies. Those who reside elsewhere have minimal to no concerns in this area and are slow to implement actionable information they have received. "It can't happen here" becomes the accepted mindset. They procrastinate because they have become complacent.
In all instances, the welfare and safety of pets and livestock fall to the bottom of the list when and if any effort is made to address the possibility of an emergency or natural disaster.
Either lost, forgotten or completely ignored, thousands of animals fall victim to the final act of betrayal either through negligence or deliberate abandonment.
