This is just crazy. Killing animals because of COVID-19 paranoia is sick in itself! :evil:

Other animals don't carry Covid-19, do they?!

Aside from that, this just plain animal cruelty! :x

The article is ambiguous. Are they afraid that the dogs will give the virus to humans (its a human virus that doesnt effect dogs afaik)? Or are they afraid that the dogs are an "attractive nuisance" that will draw humans to the shelter in such numbers that the humans will ignore protocols and spread the virus to each other?

Wh...WHAT?! There's seriously no excuse and no reason to kill dogs that would be perfectly healthy! Not even if it's to keep them from mingling with COVID!

From what I've read, it's the latter.

This shelter is meant to protect the animals' rights, not to go against them. :c Heartbreaking. The dog is never at fault.

"Vets in Russia have started vaccinating some animals against the disease.

But Dr Broens said: "I don't see the scientific evidence for that now.
It seems unlikely that pets play a role in the pandemic."

About 67% of the owned cats and 43% of the owned dogs tested positive, compared with 9% of dogs and cats from an animal shelter and 3% of stray cats in the area.

A quarter of the pets displayed a symptom of the disease, from loss of appetite to difficulty breathing.

And although most cases were mild, three were severe."

Yip. The Australian authorities are now well known for their hysterical reaction to this virus.
