Because this poison was sprayed on the site by the Oklahoma City Fire Dept. under the Orders of the Center for Disease Control. The Dog's cut paws absorbed the poison. ARTI told them not to do it. They did it anyway. All that was needed was to spray water on the site.
People become sick from breathing the dust with bacteria on it.
We left the site shortly thereafter. We did not want our dogs to die and we felt that 'rescue' was not as important as it should have been. ARTI Chief Doug Copp gave Governor Keating a 20 minute briefing as to what he needed to do to save the trapped victims. He said he would do his best. His best was a very BIG disappointment to us.
