A Sad Sad situation I see no fix for
WARNING: Disgusting & Upsetting
Moskva's Forest of Death Moskva, fUSSR (CBCnews) -- Animal rights activists here say unlicensed pet sellers are dumping unsold animals in a forest on the city's outskirts. Located in a cavernous warehouse on the edge of the city, Moscow's infamous Ptichy Rynok - or bird and animal market - is filled with boxes of puppies and kittens each Sunday. Licensed dealers sell healthy pedigreed animals inside, but unlicensed dealers line the entrance to the market, trying to sell or trade other animals. At the end of the day, the unlicensed dealers dump the animals they don't sell in a nearby stretch of birch forest. Many of the animals die there. Veterinarian Igor Loginov says most Moscovites can't afford his services, meaning most pets are never neutered or sterilized. Consequently, packs of mean-looking stray dogs are a common sight in Moscow and many unwanted litters of kittens and puppies end up at Ptichy Rynok, he said. Anna Filimova and a group of friends have created a website that shows pictures of the bodies of kittens and puppies in what she calls the Forest of Death. She says they're dumped in the forest because sellers don't want to pay to feed their animals for another week. Filimova also blames Russia's lack of animal protection laws.
