Rejected petition Stop the Dogs and Cats being killed as they did in Sachi JUST for the Olympics Games to take place.

More details

While thousands of stray dogs in Sochi were being killed in the most inhumane ways to clear the streets for the Olympic games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the governing body of the Olympics, looked on and did absolutely nothing to stop the cruelty.

In its charter, the IOC is responsible for promoting "a positive legacy from the Olympic Games to the host cities and host countries."

Letting thousands of stray dogs be violently killed is in stark contrast to Olympic values. It's simply unacceptable.

Tell the IOC to heed its creed and never allow for such cruelty under its watch again.
