A well-known canine expert will fly into Haiti next week with a small team of animal rescuers and a veterinarian to deal with an issue that’s far from the headlines at this point.

Animals are sentient beings also, and deserve compassionate treatment. Thank you for doing this.
To the article’s author, please note that it wasn’t the hurricane that killed so many people after Hurricane Katrina, the majority of deaths resulted from the failure of the levees after the fact. Most of the deaths were due not a natural disaster, but to human negligence and incompetence.
Thank you for reporting on this.

Sadly, Mr. Pattison will get financial support for another folly. With no disaster-related education or experience, it will be another big PR stunt. He should leave the work to volunteer responders who are specially trained and offer their time and knowledge with compassion. To make money on the disaster is deplorable.
Suggest folks lend their financial support to IFAW who is already supporting an animal rescue established in Haiti.

Brad & team;
You know we’re all behind you 100%. Be safe, and thanks for all you do over and over again for those who can’t speak for themselves.

Perhaps this is an attempt to boost a poor public image? I hope his ego doesn’t get in the way of the true rescue volunteers who are already in Haiti.

Good job Brad! It’s amazing to know that someone is willing to go IN to that country right now with all the havoc & mess that is going on and save the animals. They’re lucky to have you and your talents.
To you nay-sayers: How about putting your energy into support for Haiti and it’s helpers rather than negativity?

It’s so sad that this reporter didn’t do any homework for this piece and actually refers to Brad as an expert. I agree with Jackson and Louise, not only will this detract from the real efforts but it will take away from monies that would have gone to far more effective groups. I also tend to go with Jackson that this is nothing more than a publicity seeking stunt from Brad in an effort to boost his relatively poor image in the dog world.

I agree this is nothing more than a way to get a bit more publicity. I think I’d rather put my dollars towards WSPA or the Humane Society.
Hahah states his people are trained in self defense..ya like that’s going to do much good when people want your food or medical supplies and they have guns!! This ain’t the good ole USA…Haiti is one of the most violent countries around and people there are more than desperate.
Hopefully they won’t get out of the airport.Posted 2 years ago # -

What is so SAD is all of you who are critisizing Brad and his team who are all risking their LIVES to try and make some king of difference for the better in a horrible situation like this.
Animals are his job, animals are his life. Just because you can’t see the importance in it, doesn’t make it unimportant!
Don’t be so negative when someone is only trying to do good.Posted 2 years ago # -

Wow, I didn’t know you guys knew Brad so personally as to attack his credibility. Do you solely base your opinion on his show??
Perhaps you should just appreciate that at least he’s willing to help the animals that are treated like garbage in a 3rd world country and risk his life while doing so.
What are you guys actually doing to help the animals in Haiti??
