Video .. Animals freeze to death in the streets of the coldest city in the world

A cat froze in the street due to bad weather.

Cats and dogs are left at the mercy of very cold weather of up to -50 ° C with no suitable winter shelter for animals in Yakutsk.

At least one dog froze to death, and dozens were seen helplessly waiting for apartment or shop owners to let her sleep in warm areas or sleep in the snow, until she met her fate.

The Yakutsk volunteers are calling for urgent action to resolve the critical situation with stray animals falling victim to the bone-breaking December weather.

In the past two weeks, the capital of the Republic of Sakha has seen the coldest inhabited area in the world, with temperatures dropping to minus 50 degrees Celsius.

Although the people of the region live with the bad weather that reaches minus 52 degrees Celsius, the stray animals cannot bear such cold.

The local volunteer group of more than ten thousand animal rights advocates has been busy reporting cases of stray animals left outside.

Their plea for help came too late for a tragic mother cat, depicted meowing in the snow;

I froze to death several hours later.

Many dogs have numbered ear tags, which indicates that they have undergone compulsory vaccination according to the new Russian law on stray animals.

Several days ago, veterinary authorities in Yakutsk said they had stopped releasing the tagged stray animals.

But it is clear that some of them had already been dispatched when the bitter cold fell.

By the beginning of December some 1,550 stray animals had been captured and tagged in the Republic of Yakutia.

Among these animals, 1,212 were released and returned to the streets.

There are no clear statistics on how many stray animals live in Yakutsk.
