I believe that it is our government’s fault. They have to take strong actions against those who abuse animals. If it’s their first offense, they should be fined. Then they should be taken to court.

Ukraine needs to have organizations such as Greenpeace. If (such organizations) already are here, they don’t do their job well enough. They should keep a close eye on territories densely populated with animals.

People themselves should take action and pressure officials and various organizations to take action. So far (our government and organizations) just eat the money we receive from Europe.

First of all, you have to be a human being, love animals and nature. You have to treat them with an open heart and pure intentions. Those who don’t should be severely punished. We have (environmental activists), organizations for animal protection and the society (that can encourage such punishments are carried out).

If we treat our children and elderly so poorly, how can we demand a nicer treatment of animals? The people themselves should take action. I don’t believe the government and their programs can work efficiently.
