If there's one thing we've learned about the international community during Euro 2012, it's that Ukraine is a fucked up country. In the run-up to the Euro, Ukraine had problems with imprisoning opposition leaders, neo-Nazis beating the shit out of gay people, etc. But if there's one thing that should give persecuted humans hope, t's Ukraine's decision to end the stray animal genocide and give the right to life back to animals across the country.
This is admittedly old news, but somehow we missed among the reports of racism and potential boycotts and all that. While Western European pressure failed to exonerate Yulia Tymoshenko or to ensure equal treatment for gays, it DID end the rolling genocide-mobiles that were reportedly burning dogs and cats alive. Wait, WHAT? WHY WASN'T THIS BIGGER NEWS?
Oh, I know why: Jerry Sandusky. This article on the end of the stray animal genocide was published on November 17, 2011, right in the eye of the Sandusky storm. There was no time for anything but Penn State news, so we're returning to the rolling crematoriums now. Have a look at this (fairly disturbing) video, and you'll see why there was so much outrage:
Holy fuck, Ukraine invented doggy genocide crematoriums! WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT? If that's not the most Eastern European video ever, I don't know what is. You have to love the B-roll of a stray dog with a pack of hot dogs in its mouth. It works on SO MANY levels.
Anywho, the kind, gentle crusaders from the West ensured stray dogs' and cats' right to roam the streets, free to bite whomever they please. One day, maybe -- just maybe! -- humans will one day walk the streets in peace and harmony as well.
