Hundreds of dogs have been found dead at an animal shelter in Ukraine after Russian occupiers left them to starve in their cages for weeks.

The UAnimals shelter in Borodyanka, just north of Kyiv, said that up to 485 dogs were locked in their cages by Russian forces shortly after the invasion of Ukraine began on February 24.

There they remained without food or water for about a month as the occupiers left them to die, until staff were able to return to the compound on April 1 once the Russian soldiers had retreated.

Footage released by the animal shelter on Instagram showed workers stacking up a huge pile of dead hounds which had wasted away in the presence of the occupiers.

Meanwhile, images of half mangled corpses in some of the cages suggested some dogs had begun to eat their dead cell mates in the complete absence of food.

'This is the number of dogs... and this is not all, this is just a part,' a woman can be heard saying through tears as she filmed workers adding to the stack of corpses.

'These are the animals of Borodyanka, and the consequences of war. The consequences of complete indifference and negligence. The animals went three to four weeks without food or water.'

Next to the babies they took out of the incubators.

They could have just the animals out. Plenty to eat on the streets.

seems like bad planning for staff to clear out and just trust the soldiers would take over full management of the facility.

As rellic said - just let them out.

It would have taken ONE person.

But now MI6 has got some nice juicy agitprop to slam The Beast Russians with, so we have that going for us.

[FLT-bird]

all propaganda all day.

[RedMonqey]

If the propaganda is to be believe,. Rooskies barely had enough to eat themselves much less feed homeless hounds. Hell, the rooskies might have roasted a few for themselves

War is all hell.

Next, we are sure to hear that Russian soldiers have resorted to cat juggling as a recreational activity.

[xzins]

This is the kind of garbage that makes people say “propaganda.”

We just don’t know which side is responsible

[vetvetdoug]

Norks are saddened at the loss of all that meat.

[Chickensoup]

why did the Ukraines leave the animals in their cages? I would say this falls on them.

[escapefromboston]

Should have just let them out
