Hello!
Please help us STOP KILLING DOGS in Voronezh Region, Russia by signing the petition (link below) and maybe spreading the word about it?! The government of Voronezh have adopted a law which allows to shoot stray dogs.
We really need your help!
Thank you in advance!
You will find the petition here: https://goo.gl/32pRfv

Why?? Stray feral animals like dogs and cats are an ecological nightmare and SHOULD be shot, along with overbreeding dumb humans. IMHO

I strongly believe that such methods are immoral and far from being effective. What is more, this brutal killing often happens in front of the residents, including children. Taking into account the international experience, as well as tips of practicing veterinarians, it can be concluded that the most effective way is sterilisation.
By the way, most stray dogs in Voronezh are still NOT feral! They often live in the courtyards of apartment buildings, they are often fed by the residents, liked by them. Some people even sterilise them on their own money.

The thing is this like shooting keeps only an eye on the result and tries to end this, but the main core of the problem is determined in another field, there should be seen that they cannot voerbreed, that they are healty and of course there should be lot of headquarters for stray animals.

Yes these methods are certainly unethical. It makes a lot more sense to have facilities which deal with animal issues in a humane way. Thanks for posting and I did sign the petition.

I'm not agree with that. Dogs are domestic animals, considered a human's best friend. Why do russians want to kill them??

Possibly because they consider them destructive pests. Methods are rather harsh, though.

Shooting an intelligent creature like a dog, even if they are nuisances, is not moral.
The government or private facilities should offer free spay neuter services.
