[@ljortman]

Nations letting the Ukrainian people enter their country with their pets is so heart ❤️ felt. They were forced to flee with nothing and lost so much. Compassionate people who have a heart!

[@Zigeuner18]

More and more EU countries meanwhile have eased travelling rules for Ukraine refugees with animals. Pets are welcomed, even if documents/vaccinations are missing !!! Pets have to see vet at destination and get medical treatment and papers. Don't leave your pets behind, just bring them along.

[@anntrope491]

[@schmittyconstanz]

If I only had one wish it would be to help the wonderful heroic Ukrainians.they are so deserving.Such a wonderful people.They are so undeserving of the fate that has befallen them.

[@mrnrnh8]

First time may be in the history of humanity we see a nation who has war going on, its people, young and old are fleeing with their pets: cats, dogs.......It is an amazing sight. It is so sweet and kind. The Ukraine people are compassionate and also the countries receiving them are likewise. Lessons learnt from them to be kind to creatures and nature. They are blessed in different ways.

Of course they brought them. That would just be another anxiety for them to leave them behind. Bless their hearts! May God continue to guide them to safety. And God bless Poland for opening their hearts so readily.

[@ireneg.7460]

I felt like I want to make a statement - I observe the Russian invasion into Ukraine from the very beginning..it is shocking, it is not right, it means a lot of misery for people and animals caused and a worldwide crisis coming with it....when thinking of the huge number of people fleeing to other countries with an uncertain future: What keeps disturbing me a lot is the fact that I seen countless reports and news about pets from Ukraine - and its really disturbing me that there is such a tremendous number of pure breed pets ...about 99% of the pets coming with their owners who flee are PURE BREED (all kinds of Labrador, Chiuhaha, name them they were among them) and there are so many many strays within the country who have been starving for years and decades when I think of the fact that Ukrainian streets were "cleaned" from the strays years ago for sports events.....something I find impossible to understand..so many breedings on one hand and a so-called love for pets and so many.... hundreds of thousands of dogs in the streets unwanted and uncared for and killed....sorry I don't get that

[@romchykk3]

killed? starving? are you sure? you're wrong. Probably in the early and middle of 2000s. There were veterinary and sterilization centers for animals (adoption of homeless dogs and cats in families, full range of veterinary services) until this February. There is no "hundreds of thousands" of stray dogs who starving for years in my city Lviv!

[@cdcurry1203]

@@romchykk3 There are stray dogs and cats in every city around the world. There are pure breeds and mutts in every country. Having a pure breed dog/cat does not make anyone a bad person. Unfortunately there will be people and animals in need for a long time to come so all we can do is to keep helping, to play our part and be as responsible as we can be. It is important to support people trying to do the right thing. Removing the animals is the best they can do rn. Peace and love be onto you all

[@ireneg.7460]

@@cdcurry1203 Sure someone who owns a pure breed does not have to be a bad person - I have a problem with loving pure breeds and owning pure breeds and outside my house there's strays who starve or are poisonned because they are not wanted - to me it is right to give a stray a home and a safe place and my love - I never ever would go to a breeder to get me an animal - I love animals and as long as the shelters are crowded and animals in need out there in the streets it feels awkward to me that there are people BUYING animals and to me has nothing to do with animal love

[@arturivesives8159]

Esta adesão humana por cães e gatos é um fenômeno recente na história humana. Nas décadas de 70 e 80 do século 20 não existia este apego humano por criação de cães e gatos. Foi o "poder da mídia" e o "hábito instintual de imitação" profundamente arraigado na natureza humana que disseminaram este apego generalizado e mundial por cães e gatos. O ser humano é um indivíduo "essencialmente inseguro" e esta insegurança é a causa da imitação generalizada observada no gênero humano. Ele, o indivíduo, só se sente seguro "dentro da massa humana" imitando tudo o que os outros (principalmente, autoridades e figuras de projeção social) fazem. Isto (esta tendência de imitar os outros) é uma consequência de imaturidade e ausência de julgamento crítico por parte da maioria das pessoas.
