Three mobile clinics to sterilize stray animals and seven vehicles to catch them will start operating in Kyiv from April 23, the project director at the Vier Pfoten International ("Four Paws") charity organization, Amir Khalil, has said.
He said at a meeting with First Deputy Head of Kyiv City State Administration Oleksandr Mazurchak in Kyiv on April 18 that this would help sterilize more than 10,000 stray animals, the administration’s press service reported.
Khalil said that after the operations, each animal would be vaccinated and released.
Mazurchak and Khalil signed a memorandum on the implementation of a joint program on the humane regulation of the number and care for homeless animals in Kyiv. According to the document, the Vier Pfoten international organization will help Kyiv intellectually, technically and financially solve the problem of the humane treatment of stray animals and the protection of their rights, while Kyiv City State Administration will coordinate the movement of mobile clinics in all districts in the city and help quickly resolve the issue of permits to capture animals.
