"Madam President, I should like to draw the attention of the Chamber and of European citizens to what has been going on for months in Ukraine. Since it was decided to hold the Euro 2012 football championship in Poland and Ukraine, the Ukrainian authorities have, in order to stage a quick clean-up of their cities, unleashed a savage cull of stray dogs. These poor animals, including mothers and puppies, are being killed in their thousands by poisoning, clubbing and shooting, while even mobile crematory ovens are being used for this purpose.
This terrible news has been broadcast around the world. On the Internet, one can see images of these acts of horrifying violence, which have been denounced and documented by reporters and local animal-protection societies. In view of the special relations that we have with this country, I call upon the European institutions to make urgent representations to the Ukrainian authorities to stop this uncivilised and barbaric massacre."@en1
