A charity fears Europe could see an explosion of rabies after nearly a million stray dogs and cats were left to wander the streets of Ukraine following the Russian invasion. Animal-lover Daniel Fine has created the non-profit Ukraine War Animals Rescue Fund (ARF) to help deal with the problem.
With the support of a team and cutting-edge technology, ARF has so far raised £200,000 from GoFundMe to help reunite pets with their owners.
He said: "Day by day, the crisis is worsening, and it's up to us to rise to the challenge. These animals face a daily struggle for survival and pose a significant risk of spreading diseases, including rabies, which could have catastrophic consequences for the entire region.”
