Ukraine Updates
March 4, 2022
Since just days after the war in Ukraine started in February 2022, PETA Germany and its partners have been risking it all to save animals in need. From flooding to missile strikes, Global Compassion Fund–backed teams have risked it all to help Ukraine’s animals. Meet some of the beautiful souls who now have a second chance at life because of your support.
PETA Germany completed two parallel rescue missions in Ukraine on the night of Thursday, March 3. Facing grave danger, the organization and animal group Viva! Poland rescued nearly 100 hungry cats and dogs, many of whom were very sick. The animals made it across the Polish border, and now they’re being treated by veterinarians.
At the same time, another team from PETA Germany and Polish animal group White Paw crossed the border into Ukraine to rescue an additional 26 cats and a dog. During this rescue, they delivered 44,000 pounds of food and other supplies, which are now being distributed across the country. And they have already delivered a second truck packed full of food and other emergency supplies since then.
PETA Germany is fighting through congested roads and miles of red tape to get animals to Poland. These trips will be followed by many more.
