The goals of the program include attraction of the international community's attention to painful situation of stray dogs and cats in Ukraine; delivery of impartial information about the state of animal protection affairs; support of noble undertakings that aim improvement of the situation.
LL's appeal to their customers begins with the following words:
Dear friends,
Over the years, our team has been involved in different animal anti-abuse programs, we were implementing educational and charity websites, we constantly donate to several animal shelters, Humane Society, Wild Life associations and pet rescues. But while the situation is more or less under control in the Western countries, stray animals in Eastern Europe are subject to horrific abuse.
Our one of the main objectives at this time is the situation with stray animals in Ukraine.
Visiting Ukraine not even once, members of our team were shocked by the abuse of dogs and cats and government neglect. When caught by the dog catchers, some stray animals are used for painful experiments. Stray dogs are often bludgeoned or put to death by electricity or caught using an inhumane poison and sometimes die slow, painful deaths. Instead of putting an animal to sleep with the use of euthanasia (i.e. the act of killing an animal painlessly), the animal service uses dithylinum (suxamethonium chloride), a poison which paralyzes the animal and causes it to die of suffocation in a few hours of agony. There is ample evidence that the poor creatures are still conscious and feel all the pain before they die. It is often the case that animals are beaten with legs and metal sticks, whereupon they are buried or burned alive.
Lots of people witnessed animals being tortured and murdered - little kittens tied up in plastic bags and thrown in the river, people intentionally run stray pets over with their cars, newly born puppies dumped on vacant land without their mother and left them to die. Stories are endless and make hearts of every Human Being bleed.
Kyiv Society for the Protection of Animals welcomes LuckyLovers' activities for popularization of humane treatment of animals and thanks LL for their support!
