Ukrainian veterinary outreach

This week we did an outreach to the Southeast of Ukraine. These small villages along the frontline are under constant bombardment and most people have fled, leaving pets behind, who now roam the deserted roads. To stop uncontrolled breeding, we ran a sterilisation programme, catching and fixing as many animals as possible. Ukraine is already full of unowned and stray animals and this initiative is an important way of helping in a sustainable and ethical way. It is possible that soon this area will become occupied by Russian forces, and inaccessible from the outside, so now is the time to help without delay. It was a tense week, with missile attacks throughout the day and night, some landing much closer than others (as the video shows!). At times we were working in underground pits, most of the time in full ballistic protection. During our stay, 2 people from the village were killed in their home by missile strikes. The injustice of war rages on. Next week we will be moving on to a different area to continue our work. A massive thank you to the Breaking The Chains team whose experience and guidance once again got us in and out safely and to Tom, Gaz and Duane who helped every step of the way.
