In countryside villages bombed by the Russian troops very few people have been able to stay behind to look after their animals. The majority of these are elderly people who were not able to leave or who have preferred to remain, given that they cannot take their farm animals with them or don\u2019t have the strength to leave everything behind.<\/p>\n
Prybuzke is one such place, and it was from this village that the plea first came from Giammarco Sicuro, an Italian RAI television reporter, who highlighted the dreadful suffering that animals are experiencing due to the conflict. The journalist reported: \u201cWhat struck us most was the number of abandoned animals roaming about in ghost-like villages, where the houses have all been destroyed by artillery fire. Many people have died here, while those who were able to have fled their homes, obliged to leave their animals behind them. Only a few of the older villagers have stayed behind to look after the farm animals<\/em>. There is no food to be found in the villages, and there is an urgent need to get help to feed the cats and dogs left wandering around the streets before it is too late\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_2,1_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#ffc935″]<\/p>\n
