About this Petition Petition Letter

The problem of stray animals in the Luhansk region in the town Lysychansk (Eastern Ukraine) was "solved". The local government bought a mobile crematorium for disposal of stray animals. Mobile team of drivers and catcher have a special weapon - a gun. Harvested animals are cremated alive in the oven at 900 degrees C. A Crematorium on wheels was bought in town at the cost of 198,000 UAH (20,500 euros).

According to local residents dogs and cats are burning alive.
Until recently, stray animals in Lysychansk were "disposed by other way", but now the authorities resorted to the method of "more modern and environmentally thrifty" but they forgot the law on cruelty to animals.

Lysychansk is a small city with 106,000 inhabitants. Concentration of stray animals in it is not critical and can be easily brought under control. Money spent to buy a mobile furnace from the city budget would be quite sufficient to solve the problem of stray animals through sterilization process. 

Lysychansk offers a mobile crematorium in other towns and districts of the region.

Please help to stop this barbaric act and protest by sending a letter to the address:
President of Ukraine now: 
Mr Victor Yanukovych, Bankova 11, UA-01002 Kyiv.

And please, if you can send copies of your protest letters, or letters of support
to Tomi Tomek & Djordjevic Elisabetta di SOS CHATS.CH. 2103 Noiraigue (Svizzera): soschats@soschats.org

Please help stop the senseless burning alive of stray cats and dogs in the Ukraine!

Greetings,

Dear President Obama,

I recently came upon a very disturbing fact regarding the burning alive of innocent cats and dogs in the Ukraine.

I am writing as a person who is dedicated to animal protection/rights and a few hours ago I have received information concerning the problem of stray animals in the region of the city Lysychansk Lugansk (Eastern Ukraine), which states that to solve the problem of abandoned dogs and cats, the local government purchased a mobile crematorium for the disposal of abandoned animals.

Apparently, the equipment of incinerating animals trapped alive in the oven to 900 degrees Celsius and crematorium on wheels was purchased at a cost of 198,000 UAH (20,500 euros).

It also states that Lysychansk also offers a mobile crematorium in other cities and districts of the region.

This is a direct breach of certain important provisions and guidelines of the UN in animal protection.

I am writing to you, as a fellow animal lover and on behalf of all innocent pets like Bo, I urge you to take a stand and help stop this heinous and barbaric act.

Sincerely,

Wess Staats
