Target: Vladimir Putin, President of Russia
Goal: Praise Russia for its decision to ban the killing of stray dogs and its implementation of animal shelters.
Stray dogs will no longer be tortured and killed in Russia, thanks to a bold new law. Signed into place by President Putin, this law prohibits the slaughter of all stray animals and demands the utilization of humane animal shelters. Thank President Putin for his dedication to animal welfare.
Stray dogs have often been the target of cruel attacks and inhumane torture in Russia. Shot and poisoned, sometimes as the object of a cruel game, the animals struggle to survive and often become aggressive towards humans. Thanks to this ForceChange petition, and a new law, that is about to change. Guided by the principles of humanity, as described by the Russian government, this law bans animal fights, pet cafes and petting zoos. Wild animals will no longer be allowed in restaurants and bars, as well as private residences. Those capturing the animals must take humane action, record it on video for public access, and deposit the animals in a shelter.
While this law emphesizes stricter qualifications for pet ownership, it will finally afford protections to the stray animals. Sign below to thank President Putin for his decision to end animal cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear President Putin,
Stray dogs will no longer suffer cruel and inhumane deaths, thanks to your approval of a new law. This law will punish animal cruelty offenders and provide a safe place for the animals to be housed. I want to thank you for your dedication to animal welfare.
Stray animals were once poisoned, shot, and slaughtered on the streets of Russia- sometimes as part of a twisted game. This caused those animals to become fearful and sometimes aggressive towards humans. Your implementation of humane capture laws and animal shelters is the first step in ending animal cruelty and reducing the number of strays.
No animal should ever suffer a malicoius death on the streets, and this law will end that cruelty. Thank you for taking a stand for these innocent animals.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Remembering massive murdering of dogs before the Olympics in Odessa to “clean”the city as well as such slaughters in 2012 in Ukraine I Keep my fingers crossed for it to be REAL not only theory
I hope this new law will be taken seriously, and is not being put into place just to quite the public’s outrage, and then continue to swept these horrors under the table. It’s time we as humane beings no longer tolerate this type behavior. Time will tell.
We have to thank him for what?? For something it SHOULDN’T be happening AT ALL???!!!!! NO NO NO!!!!
A step in the right direction. He does however need to ban ALL forms of animal cruelty to ALL animals, and that includes hunting.
Agree
Street animals have been slaughtered for sporting and cultural events, so this is def a step in the right direction, which hopefully will lead also to enforcement. Of course we must express our support because maybe one by one they will realise its the right thing to do. Don’t damn them for not doing it before! now there are laws to prevent killing and create shelters. Lets focus on humane shelters now….
I hope your optimism is justified – the animals deserve justice
From Russia with a Little Love.
Why do these poor animals murder everyone?
Why
