On the 700th anniversary of the birth of Sergius of Radonezh in Sergiev Posad, they decided to exterminate dogs
About the unfortunate fate of the homeless dogs in Sochi, whom the local authorities decided to exterminate in front of the Olympics, found out the whole world, the athletes managed to stop, the shelters were opened, and foreigners - in particular, American athletes - were even able to take away several puppies abroad. Sochi dogs now live with the goalkeeper of the US hockey team Ryan Miller and hockey player David Baks, and the hero on the Internet was a silver medalist in Slopstail Gus Kenoorti, who took four puppies from Russia in Colorado.
When the Sochi history began, the zoo defenders warned that the next disaster was coming, which is unlikely to be interested in abroad. In Sergiev Posad, Sergius of Radonezh is preparing to celebrate the 700th anniversary of Sergius, 6.5 billion rubles were allocated , of which, as announced on the city glower, up to three million will go to the trash of homeless dogs. "Capture" implies murder. There are no municipal shelters, although 100 million rubles were allocated for their construction in the Moscow Region, there are nowhere to take out the dogs, so they are killed by drugs prohibited in Europe that cause a long and painful death from suffocation.

“Several zoostal organizations of Sergiev Posad and Moscow have repeatedly proposed solving the problem with dogs humanely, brought a bunch of documents, projects and other things, but the administration does not want to change something,” says the zoo defender Olga Korsinina . “The city is cleaned from everything that seems unnecessary to them,” the pre-revolutionary houses are cut off, the trees are cut down. They just come at five in the morning, when there is no one, they shoot, they quickly load in the car and leave, and home dogs die. ”
All this happens mainly on the outskirts of Sergiev Posad - there are almost no dogs left in the center of the dog. In December, the dog, whom the whole city loved, was poisoned. He lived at a bus stop, met buses and minibuses for three years and waited for the owner. For loyalty, he was nicknamed Hachiko. The kindest, harmless dog was poisoned by the anti -TB drug, he suffered for several hours. The zoo defenders are now proposing to erect a Hachiko monument, local deputies seem to have approved the idea, but there is no final decision.
"Dogs fired in the afternoon in the afternoon and at the owners. Two dogs were shot near the administration. Near the house 109 on Voznesenskaya, he was shot from a silver jeep, with children and passers-by puppy, the shepherd is 8 months old. He was fed and wanted to take it into the house. I managed to come when it was still warm and the blood was oozed with blood and foam of a bluish color. And the tongue was bitten by anyone and how it happened, they said that the migrant workers were going to ask, turn away, and neither me are afraid, ”says the representative of the animal protection of the Zole .
Olga Carkinina with one of her pets Olga Korsinina living in Khotkovo several years ago was able to stop the murder of dogs in her town. She managed to agree with the local administration, and an agreement was concluded not with flayers, but with a charitable organization that was engaged in sterilization of dogs. This year it is not possible to extend the contract, the dogs began to be killed in Khotkovo.
“It seems that the strip will also spread to Khotkovo, because there is an Intercession Convent here, in which the parents of Sergius of Radonezh are buried. If in Khotkovo they also begin to kill everyone in a row, our dogs will disappear, which we have sterilized over the years,” says Olga Korsnina.
The Russian-French society of animal protection directed the appeal to Patriarch Kirill:
Your Holiness!
Date dear Christians are approaching: the 700th anniversary of the birth of St. Sergius of Radonezh. As the great historian Klyuchevsky said, "under the name of St. Sergius, the people recalls their moral revival, which made the political revival possible." "Creating the memory of the Monk Sergius, we check ourselves, review our moral reserve, bequeathed to us by the great builders of our moral order."

Billions have already been allocated by which construction, restoration and other work will be performed. But at the same time, the usual stripping of the spaces and environs of Sergiev Posad from the animals interfering with someone. (As it was before Kazan Universiade, Eurovision, Olympics in Sochi.) Already at the end of January, dogs in Khotkovo were killed in brutal methods. They kill us with barbaric methods prohibited throughout Europe, dogs are tormented for hours in convulsions from suffocation. Obviously, such a bloody preparation for the birthday of St. Sergius will be continued. Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims are preparing for these solemn days from the entire globe. They will shake a similar attitude to God's creature. Testament Prep. Sergius tells us about love, about love for people and for our smaller brothers. He, starving, gave the last piece of bread to the bear. The Monk Sergius thanked God for sending him a fierce beast to comfort.
Do not let them defile these holy places with shameful murder! Let Russian priests, preachers, missionaries enlighten the people (and local authorities) about what mercy, compassion, love of God's creation is!
We ask you to turn to the secular authorities, to the president, to the governor of the Moscow region and to the administration of Sergiev Posad with an appeal to stop the mass destruction of animals, which has already decided to allocate 3 million rubles. With this money, you can build a municipal shelter and sterilize homeless dogs. "
The signatures under the appeal were set by more than a thousand people. He became interested in Fr. Vsevolod Chaplin, he spoke with one of his authors - theologian Tatyana Goricheva. However, there is no official response from the Patriarchate.
