What happens to animals in Ukraine during the war.

Animals are often overlooked in such crisis situations as a full scale war. Millions of people had to flee leaving or losing their pets for various reasons. So I visited animal rescue shelter in Lviv to understand the entire situation better.

Vous êtes formidables.Je vous aime car malgré la guerre vous aidez nos amis les animaux ❤️🥰💐👍Vive l'Ukraine🇺🇦🇲🇫

[@ZebaKnight]

This is not a war, this is a horrific criminal assault. May it end very soon, with peace and freedom for Ukrainians and the animals they live with. Thank you very much for recording what is happening to some of those animals.

[@geneseeco5265]

Early in the war, I noticed that Ukrainians frequently had their pets with them as they sought refuge. I have three dogs who are truly members of our family, and it warms my heart to see the love that Ukrainians show their pets. This is a great sign of Ukrainian humanity. I've made four donations in the last few months to animal shelters in Ukraine, but I worry that the money may not actually get to shelters in Ukraine. About a hundred years ago the famous American humorist Will Rogers said, “If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.” Mark Twain said, "The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog." Maybe they need more dogs and cats in Moscow.

I can't and wilnot praise these people enough especially that lovley American lady who flew over especially to help out may god reward you

Thank you to everyone who is taking care of all these animals. It must be so difficult to do so in these horrendous times simply because there are so many, bless you all. Slava Ukraini 💙💛

[@michaelwharton1561]

[@user-kc1xv9vf9y]

Thank you for all these beautiful people who help and take care of the animals that have got in trouble because of this terrible war... I hope all the animals will be adopted and will be in a loving environment soon! Thank you, Orest, for the touching video

[@womanoftorches]

What a kind lady ❤

[@zuborest]

yeah

[@MBGK777]

Thank you for sharing this. And Meg you are who I want to be someday. What you are doing is amazing. One of my first thoughts was about the animals that would be locked inside after people had to leave them. So I found a place that was going out and finding theses animals and were not only staying behind to care for the animals that were already there but these brave people were going out and saving animals in the in the midst of everything. My heart goes out to all of you. I’m so glad the world has you in it 🇺🇦💜

[@MBGK777]

Does anyone know if they have Instagram?

[@anna-zs3oy]

This report ended on an incredibly sad note. Thank you to all the volunteers who are taking care of the displaced animals.

[@catdog7497]

And bless you for visiting this shelter and bless all the amazing people working in this shelter! How I wish I could put all my animal skills to use and come care for these babies 💕🤍

[@Annie-ZA]

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH for sharing this Orest. I'm definitely going to share it far and wide. As for a Russian raping a poor, defenceless dog ... OMGAWD! 🙉😥😭😭😭 GOD BLESS EVERYONE helping these poor animals. 🙏💙💛💙💛💙💛💞

I love the animal rescue team 💜🙏🏽🙌🏽👏🏽 every animal needs to be chipped or have ID collar or tattooing owners information.

[@alexgorron6470]

Thank you for showing this. I'm happy to see people taking care of the least able to care for themselves. Thank you for also listing how to donate.

[@patriciab4514]

Que lindos .

[@catdog7497]

Ugh this is so sad!! And how can you know which cats were wild before and want to stay wild, or which cats were homes before and traumatized by the war so now they want to be wild, and how many just want to be loved like they had been before. I will donate to this shelter today, i wish I could be there to help. Idk if it’s possible. I am in the US.

[@lkporter1989]

No domestic cat will ever want to be "wild" and any cat that is not domesticated or is ferral you won't even be able to get near to them, there literally wild animals. Cats are the closest domesticated pets to their wild ancestors

[@catdog7497]

@@lkporter1989 oh boy please don’t come on here arguing about cats. We have thousands of “feral” cats on the island here in Greece and half of them walk into your home for a snack and a nap on your patio and then leave when they’re full. This is true for a lot of Europe, for both dogs and cats. Dogs will sit at your feet at restaurants and beg for pets and table scraps and go on their merry way after. Not all “wild” animals are wild as you say. Many are friendly and happy to spend time with a human that might feed them but would be very stressed if you tried to claim them as your “pet” and lock them in your house. Don’t look at the world with such narrow sightedness please.

[@juanitaross5492]

I am so sorry what Putin has done to your lives and animals. I wish I could jump on a plane and help take care of these homeless animals. But unfortunately I have medical issues to take care of first. Thank you for keeping us posted.

[@oransherf1089]

slava ukraine;

[@9catlover]

so glad there are good people. just hope pets and owners get reunited. the cats are so adorable.

[@MeriLizzie]

I worry about the animals that have been on your recent “tours” of damaged villages just wondering around. There have been some cats, on other videos (not yours), that have been hurt, or even partially paralyzed by the artillery barrages, still trying to get around.

[@vornamenachname4243]

Thank you so much! 🙏It is heartbreaking!💔😭💦😭

[@danielgamingpc4090]

good work man!! 👍👍👍

Good evening bro

[@ericsylvania380]

Poor animals😢

[@sespegal]

The PayPal account for them does not work on PayPal. How can I donate them directly?

[@NikkieRoxxx]

14:34 ouch!!!!! Poor soul....! Incredible that some "wanna be human" creeps --> no, im not insulting G-d by calling them "creatures"; can get lower than low by committing such destructive acts on totally defenseless beings. Dev Naz, an animal rescuer from Turkey, took care of animals suffering from that gruesome abuse, hes on YT, maybe he would have advice on how to try to help victims?

[@Luzpazamor]

Thank you so much for showing this video that’s a lot of help animals need us. 🫶👍🙏😊

Thanks Orest!!! Do you have an email address for which I can write to you some specific questions? And an address for the woman from Ohio? Thanks

[@zuborest]

Sure - [e-mail] Looking forward to hearing from you.

[@Isochest]

What has happened to severely disabled people in the internaty? Do you care for your most vulnerable people? Did you evacuate them or leave them to the Russian War Criminals?

[@zuborest]

Everyone receives help

[@Isochest]

@@zuborest Thanks for the reply. My mind is still fresh from the 1980s Soviet horror homes. Something you brave people are fighting for your lives to resist. My son and daughter just visited Bulgaria and said there were many Ukrainian refugees mostly children.

[@lynheimler4357]

Prayers and love from Canada!! Blessings to the pooch who was raped, this is gonna be a tough road for him for now on. I really hope he finds a good home that understands what he has gone though. I was raped when I was 9, I understand. It was not the dogs fault, it was never my fault. Only sick minds do bad things like that. I just wanna hug this dog and let him know he is OK and it was never his fault. Spa-C-ba.🐯
