After the Russian occupation rendered an animal shelter near Borodyanka, Ukraine, inaccessible to volunteers, disturbing footage has emerged showing mounds of dead dogs who perished, locked in their cages, without access to food or water for weeks.
, disturbing footage has emerged on social media that appears to show dead dogs at an animal shelter in Borodyanka, Ukraine.
According to the charity UAnimals, the shelter's 485 dogs remained locked in their cages from the beginning of the war in late February until the beginning of April, after Russian soldiers left Borodyanka and charity volunteers were able to return to the shelter. During that time, the dogs were left without any food or water, the charity said. By the time the volunteers finally gained access to the building on April 1, all but 150 of the 485 animals had died.
Oleksandra Matviichuk, head of the Center for Civil Liberties, tweeted a video in which the bodies of numerous dogs can be seen on the floor. The female volunteer filming the video narrates the scene through tears.
