In my opinion it should be called looting - even if they are taking food and water... looting is looting, stealing is stealing - and it should be described as such. Now does that mean I think those taking food and water are animals? Nope. People looting food and water stocks from stores (not each other) are acting on survival mode... not greed.
As for the other looters taking merchandise, or people setting fire to businesses, or those shooting at hospitals and rescuers, or those raping and killing - they are all animals regardless of skin colour or social background.
Now I have a question: A number of times the news stations (BBC, CNN, CBC) reported that the members of the National Guard have been fired on while conducting rescue and relief operations... isn't the National Guard armed? and if so why did they not neutralize the threat to the operations either through direct or indirect action?
