Ukrainian horror - Over 60.000 stray dogs and cats killed

More than 60.000 stray dogs and cats were killed in Ukraine in order for Ukraine to be "clean" for the Euro 2012 football competition this June. This is the information that Ukrainian bloggers spread on social networks.

According to many Ukrainian bloggers, who share photos appealing for boycott of the European Football Cup,  this sweep of dogs and cats was ordered by the Ukrainian president.

They say he ordered all of the stray dogs and cats to be caught and burned in garbage disposals. Bloggers are appealing that this information is spread worldwide stating that these actions were brutal and inhumane.

The Ukrainian government rejected accusation that such action was approved, but the killings continue.

Animal rights activists are protesting almost every day in front of the government building.

According to foreign media, Ukrainian authorities were afraid that because of the large number of stray dogs and cats there might be some incidents with foreign fans.
