Animal rights campaigners in Russia are fighting to save the dogs (Picture: East2West) Russian animal rights campaigners are warning that stray dogs will be slaughtered en masse ahead of this summer’s World Cup.
Deals worth £1.4 million have been signed in host cities for killer dogs to be deployed, according to Ekaterina Dmitrieva, director of the City Animal Protection Foundation.

Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Mutko recently ordered host cities to set up temporary animal shelters for the estimated two million strays in these places. But Dmitrieva insists that cash has already been paid to unleash killer dogs and poisons. ‘Hundreds of thousands of dogs, cats and even birds will be destroyed by terrible poison – or in ways that are even more cruel,’ a petition with more than 77,000 signatures warns, adding that host cities ‘will drown in the blood of homeless animals’.
Activists claim tenders worth £1.4million have already been signed (Picture: East2West) Activists in the country have also accused Fifa of turning a blind eye to the ‘butchers’, and of refusing to press the Russian government over the allegations.

‘I am not getting any replies [to complaints], because there is no procedure of cancelling the tenders. ‘At the moment state tenders worth 110 million rubles (£1.4million) in total were signed to eliminate stray animals. These tenders are butchery.’
She claimed that in Ekaterinburg £407,000 has been allocated for the slaughter of stray animals, while another £25,000 has been granted in Volgograd.

Kaliningrad has also earmarked £115,000 for animal shelters. Fifa reportedly replied to the group saying: ‘We understand that there are many important social issues and initiatives such as yours that deserve to be addressed and supported.
‘However, we are sure you will understand that due to our other numerous ongoing and planned activities in connection with Fifa’s competitions, including the earmarked finances for these, we are not able to support your cause more actively.’
Send it to china
We are more humane. We hold them for two weeks and THEN kill them.
Something has to be done with strays. You can’t just let them roam the streets.
korea is already doing this too...
cept, they are selling theirs on a stick.
Better than Brazil slaughtering stray children in the streets of Rio before the World Cup. Sadness. I don’t like the World Cup.
I was thinking North korea.
Well, I’d do the same myself. If you’ve ever been in a country where the streets are taken over by roaming dogs, you wouldn’t like it either. This is true in places like Mexico (and probably many other places in Latin America), the Middle East (except for Israel) and some neighborhoods in European cities.
Dogs are scavengers. They eat everything, including other dogs’ poop, which is their only reason for being in places with poor sanitation. So Russia has got to get rid of these dogs...and improve its sanitation systems.
Do you have a citation for that?
Must be tough to be a dog in Russia. Sad they are going to kill some worthy breeds as opposed to the over-inbred weak samples we get out west.
Ha! If Russia wants to support North Korea, ship them there...
Good. Maybe be after they’re done they can thin out the pack of leftist currs infesting the halls of our congress.
Probably other sources as well.
They don’t want to help North Korea, but they’ll use it against the U.S.
Yikes.
Or Venezuela
So many countries, so few dogs.
*ping* saw your anti-dog cruelty sign on profile.
“killer dogs” and poisons are not the humane solution. Catch them and humanely euthanize them. It’s apparent that these strays were just cast out of their homes by their owners and left on their own.......so sad
You do know that in China they boil them alive?
In South Korea and China, they hook them up by the jaw to the roof and use a blowtorch on them to kill them. Or they beat them to death. Or they throw the smaller ones and puppies into a pot of boiling water.
South Korea believes that the more the dog was tortured before slaughter, the better the meat will taste and the more virile it will make him.
Which choice would you make? BIG difference.
