WAR TAILS DOCUMENTARY SHEDS LIGHT ON PLIGHT OF ANIMALS DISPLACED BY WAR IN UKRAINE
London, UK – As the world remains gripped by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the often-overlooked victims of war are being given a voice in the forthcoming documentary “War Tails.” Produced by Dan Fine of UWARF in collaboration with various animal welfare organizations currently working in Ukraine, the film brings attention to the dire situation faced by pets abandoned amidst the chaos of the Russian invasion.
The private screening of “War Tails” is scheduled in June in London, UK. This event promises an evening of awareness and advocacy, drawing attention to the plight of over a million abandoned pets left behind as millions fled their homes.
“When the Russians invaded Ukraine, over 8 million people were forced to flee their homes. This resulted in over a million abandoned pets,” explains Michelle Jones, co-founder of K9 Rescue International. “Many are wandering the streets alone in desperate need of help, and the crisis is worsening day by day.”
The documentary follows Dan and Tana of UWARF as they embark on missions to provide aid to the dogs and cats of Ukraine, working with various animal welfare organisations working in Ukraine, including K9 Rescue International. Through their efforts, over 8,000 animals have been sterilized, vaccinated, and microchipped. “War Tails” aims to shed light on the challenges Ukraine faces in managing this crisis and to inspire action and support from communities around the world.
UWARF, a 501c3 organization, partners with veterinarians, nonprofits, and animal shelters in Ukraine to organize missions and facilitate clinics aimed at addressing the needs of abandoned animals. Their work extends to reuniting, rehoming, and sheltering these animals, as well as building technological solutions to track and monitor volunteer efforts.
“We invite supporters of Ukraine to join us for the first showing of ‘War Tails,’ in the UK” says Dan Fine, co-founder of UWARF. “Your feedback and support are invaluable as we continue our collective mission to aid the animals of Ukraine.”
EVERY MOMENT COUNTS
The dogs and cats caught up in the war that continues to rage in Ukraine need our help – the number of animals abandoned to the streets is growing exponentially and numbers will continue to grow as these forgotten animals breed uncontrolled, leading to enormous suffering from disease, lack of food and care.
But it doesn’t have to be this way – trap-neuter-return campaigns, and spay/neuter of the owned animal populations, whose offspring often end up being put to the streets, is a proven method of population control and reduction.
We urgently want to conduct extensive sterilisation programmes, yet to do so, we need a huge amount of support.
You can help, please donate what you can and/or spread the word – if we can get this message out to everyone, then we can do this – we can be the change.
