We
all know and have heard of the Olympics in some way, shape, and form but sometimes
we aren’t being told the full story. Sometimes we only see the highs and
positives opposed to some truth of the negatives that are being hiding within.
The
hidden truth is that while the 2014 Olympics take place in Sochi, Russia they
have a specific way of ‘cleaning up’ for the Olympics, which many people in
society do not agree with. The situation going on is that in Sochi, they have
created a massive plan in which $50,000 would be spent in order to kill over
2000 stray dogs/puppies. Meanwhile in Sochi before them Olympics they suffered
with a problem of stray dogs due to irresponsible pet owners. Dog owners would
eventually get sick of their once loved pet and let it go, or being irresponsible
and not taking care of puppies female dogs are producing. Also it is frowned upon
to have their dogs neutered, for the fact of which once you neuter a dog it can
no longer do its job, to protect the home and people.
Since
thousands of dogs are rooming the streets free and hungry, Sochi believed it
would be a disgrace to the country to have wild dogs. Even though these dogs
show no act of violence and are truly kind and affectionate, Sochi is inhumanely
killing off these dogs. They are doing this is 3 main ways, in which none of
them are humane. Sochi has hired a pest control company that is being paid to
capture the dogs and to murder them. They are feeding dog’s poisoned meats,
beating them to death, and simply using guns. Is this really the publicity Sochi
needs?
In
my opinion this situation wouldn’t be as sever if they were treating dogs humanely
and solving the issues and a proper manner. Animal rights groups have been
fighting to have a shelter built in which to rescue dogs instead of having them
dyeing in such a disgusting manner.
Russian
newspapers are headlining this extreme event and publishing it as “the
slaughterhouse plan” and indeed the mass killing of the dogs is in order to “clean
up” for the Olympics. Now do you believe this is fair? And if you were hungry
would it be right to be poisoned with food?
Not
only has Sochi hired a pest control company to ‘handle’ the problem, Alexei
Sorokin, the owner of the Basia Services extermination has also been throwing
around and calling dogs “Biological Trash”. Meanwhile dogs are pets, and
deserve a living chance; whether they are stray, or not they don’t deserve the
punishment they are being given.
Yes,
Sochi is our chosen place for the 2014 Olympics, but is this tragic event in
order to ‘clean up’ for the Olympics right? Threw the internet people around the
world are fighting to save these dogs, as well as athletes are bringing home
there new found best friend. Killing the dogs isn’t right, and people are
willing to fight in order to make a difference.
