The Animals of Ukraine, sadly a target because they are cared for
#1
The war in Ukraine and any other war is unfair to animals. They have no part in our conflicts. In this war however, the invaders seem to be targeting the animals because the people are trying to look after them. Animal shelters have been deliberately targeted.

It is sad that so many lives have been lost. It is especially sad when innocent animals are involved. Clearly some of what has happened is a war crime. I think it is time for the world to declare the targeting of animals as a war crime. Our battles are not their battles and for any humans for any reason to deliberately kill animals is a crime and needs to be treated as such. There need to be consequences for mistreating animals in war. We have rules to protect prisoners of war. We need rules to protect the animals in a war zone. I hope one of the animal rights groups pushes for such protection.

Good article. Sadly, the barbaric treatment of domestic animals by the invading forces does not surprise me. Let us hope that Ukraine will be able to push the invaders back and restore normality and humanity again.

It looks like Ukraine is pushing the invaders back, but they are finding crime scenes. They are war crimes, but they are still crimes. Civilians have deliberately been killed. It is no surprise that animals are targeted as well.

I just hope the world makes an example of the ones responsible for this brutality.



This is a bit graphic, but it shows what has been found as the invaders retreat.
