YABLOKO insists that killing of stray animals must be stopped
Press release, 21.04.2016
The Sochi branch of YABLOKO forwarded an appeal to Anatoly Pakhomov, Mayor of Sochi, with the demand to turn down the practice of killing stray animals. Instead YABLOKO suggests that a complex city programme on sterilisation and regulation of populations of stray animals must be introduced.
“Unfortunately, cruel and inhuman methods of reduction of the stray animals population in Sochi have become the visiting card of the city. Many times the residents and tourists have become witnesses of beating, euthanasia, abuse and killing of animals. Reports in connection with several cases were farwarded to police, however, the guilty including the employees of special companies, were not punished,” YABLOKO’s appeal runs.
