Pets Left Behind in Ukraine

[Contrarian]

This is the site of an animal rescue organization based in Odessa. The young woman featured in the videos was already busy before the war started and now even more so. Since the war is so close by to Odessa she will sometimes take a stray puppy or dog to a new owner in Western Ukraine far away from the front. She says that just a $5 donation can help her and the people she works with to get a stray dog cleaned up, vaccinated and spayed or neutered so that she can then advertise the dog on social media as available for adoption and find them a good home.

I see on social media admonitions about how Americans shouldn't "complain about gasoline prices" because they could be in a train station with their lives in a suitcase and their box.

This is, ofc, bullshit, meant to deflect criticism of Biden, who is a fatuous blowhard loser.  First, only like 5% of Ukraine has become refugees.  Some bring pets with them, others leave their pets with someone who remains behind.  And I know one girl who adopted a cat which was abandoned.  But anyway, yet another reason why Putin is a huge doosh.

No doubt there are some trolls on social media who are doing their best to deflect criticism away from the Biden regime and his failures. Just as there are trolls in Russia and elsewhere who try to justify the war. I've read that approximately 3.6 Million Ukrainians have temporarily left Ukraine. On another video there was a shelter which looked to be close to the war zone or right in the midst of it and the dogs were big time freaked out and possibly hungry and thirsty as well as there were not enough humans to care for them.

Sure there are some responsible owners and good people like the girl you know. There are others not so much. As I'm sure you know Ukraine has a rather large stray problem as many people will not pay to have female kittens and puppies spayed and instead just dump them somewhere. It's a cycle of homeless animals producing more homeless animals due to selfishness and neglect. It happens here in the USA as well.

I really like the organization in Odessa as she does her very best to rescue dogs get them spayed or neutered and then find them responsible homes. She's a real champion in my book, as are the soldiers and other people of Ukraine staying and fighting for their country.

Primarily cats and to a lessor extent dogs are a problem in Odesa. But the cats have an upside in keeping to some degree the vermin (rats) to some degree in control. As I understood most were spayed/neutered.

Igor if he wishes can comment, bear in mind my observations are from five to 10 years old.

Beautiful small dog abandoned by her owner at a Hotel two weeks ago. After making friends with her she is taken by train to West Ukraine and given to a good family there.
