Petition Intervene in the slaughter of stray dogs in Russia preceding the 2018 World Cup.

The 2018 FIFA Football World Cup will take place in Russia in June and July. In an attempt to “ensure security and a pleasant stay” and “provide a good image” for visitors, thousands of stray cats and dogs and even birds in host cities are being killed.

More details

Russia lacks a humane system of shelters, food and medical support for homeless cats and dogs. However, contracts worth $1.95million have been signed in host cities to kill the animals rather than set up shelters or provide spay/neuter and vaccinations programmes.

Russia must withdraw all contracts and cancel planned slaughter of hundreds of thousands of animals.

WE ASK OUR GOVERNMENT: Contact the Russian Government and demand the passing of animal protection laws and redirect any foreign aid to support humane solutions to remove stray animals from the streets.
