It’s been claimed that desperate Russian soldiers were so ravenous they resorted to eating zoo animals.
Volunteer rescue workers said the soldiers committed horrible acts of cruelty at Yampil Zoo in the eastern Donetsk region.
Yampil village was liberated by Ukrainian forces on September 30.
The rescue workers arrived ten days later to discover animal skeletons and bits of flesh and bone spread across the zoo grounds.
One of the volunteers said that numerous animals had been eaten by the orcs, and according to the authorities, two camels, a kangaroo, a bison, some piglets, birds and wolves were killed.
Those animals that were saved are being cared for in the metropolis of Dnipro.
Before the February 24 invasion, zookeepers said the compound was home to a wide range of creatures, including bears, camels, antelopes and wild boars.
Volunteers are gathering materials in order to contact Ukrainian law enforcement agencies with a view to pressing charges.
Poor creatures – more victims of Vladimir Putin’s evil madness, but then I guess it’s no more than the creatures that we consume on an industrial scale every day, although they’re presumably destroyed in a more compassionate way, but then if the soldiers were starving, what do people expect them to do because desperation doesn’t always permit us to make the proper choices, it’s all about survival.
The thing is if they’re happy to kill innocent people, we shouldn’t be surprised or outraged when they start slaughtering creatures at the zoo.
This is barbaric, but needs must and they’d probably eat their own soldiers if they needed to, and to be fair, anyone would when you’re starving, and by the looks of it, they appear to be eating better than the folks back home – perhaps they should join I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
Napoleon said that an army marches on its stomach, and if Vladimir Putin can’t feed his troops then they’re doomed to fail.
Of course, they will be doing the same thing on reality TV soon, including Matt Hancock, and people won’t bat an eyelid over it because it’s called entertainment.
‘What’s that Skippy? There’s a Russian down a mineshaft who’s just eaten your brother?’
These Russian soldiers committed acts against zoo creatures and engaged in acts of incredible savagery, and this is particularly disturbing on an assortment of levels and in various degrees of horror. These were poor defenceless zoo animals and in addition, Russian soldiers have been sent to certain slaughter with soldiers being treated no better than the animals in the zoo.
Vladimir Putin has been described as the wealthiest man on the planet but he treats his citizens and troops as if they were zoo animals, and in fact, far far worse, and through no fault of their own, hungry people will eat what’s available, that’s a fact of life.
I mean, Vladimir Putin must really care about his troops.
I can’t condone cruelty to animals or even human beings, but if a person is that hungry they will kill anything to endure, and this is deemed acceptable, and before veggies and vegans get on the attack, take note, that in war zones very little vegetation survives, and one would get extremely hungry very fast, and in those circumstances, I’d eat anything to survive, although I doubt if the coward Vladimir Putin is going hungry.
Mind you, it’s a pity they didn’t resort to cannibalism because if they did, then there would be fewer Ruskies to fight or run from, including the animals.
