A pest control company which has been killing stray dogs in Sochi for
years told The Associated Press on Monday that it has a contract to
exterminate more of the animals throughout the Olympics.
Alexei Sorokin, director general of pest control firm Basya Services,
said his company is involved in what he described as the "catching and
disposing" of dogs. Sorokin refused to specify whether they shoot or
poison dogs or say where they take the carcasses.
Krivonosov said taking the dogs off the street was Russia’s
"responsibility to the international community and that their
elimination is the quickest way to solve this problem." He conceded,
however, that this is "not the most humane way" of dealing with the
problem and said that authorities should encourage dog shelters. Full story here!
