Release Russian animal advocate detained for protesting the policy to kill stray dogs in Sochi


Release Russian animal advocate detained for protesting the policy to kill stray dogs in Sochi
The Issue
On February 8, 2014, three Russian animal rights advocates were holding a peaceful protest to draw attention to the government's policy to kill stray dogs in preparation for the Sochi Olympics. A banner was unfurled and one of the advocates was detained by police for his actions. We are concerned that the detainee will suffer as a result of speaking out against this policy to kill stray dogs, an atrocity which people around the world oppose. Please sign and share this petition to ask the Russians to release this Russian animal rights advocate immediately.
