Autonomous non-profit organization Part: To: Autonomous Non-profit Organization I am a guardian of homeless animals, I'm 58. During the period of my activity as a guardian, I've been a witness to callous, often cruel attitude of humans towards homeless animals. From year to year, I have to see stray dogs dying in winter in our summer-cottage settlement from starvation, cold and shooting. As many as eight dogs, previously more, find shelter in winter-time on my allotment; my husband visits our summer cottage in winter once a month, feeding up the dogs. The dogs are a source of our troubles: nobody likes this kind of neighborhood. Some people even dare shoot the dogs.. ***** To: Charitable Society for the Guardianship of Homeless Animals
I'm writing to you. I'm an old woman, worrying about cats and dogs. I live at Sokolinaya Gora. Things are going from bad to worse with us. The people around are very wicked, while cats and dogs are too many. Some people came, and gave lethal injections or shot dead 27 dogs. There are lots of kittens and again too many dogs: they come out of nowhere at night, and tear to pieces all kittens, cats with kittens. All entrances to the buildings are shut, the same goes for basements, they will not allow giving food to the cats even outside, place food, water. The janitors take away cat's meals and scold us, saying that placing food is no good, by placing food, we propagate the flies. I don't know what can be done in this situation, it's just terrible. I'm 72, I don't feel well and start an argument with all people, my opponents threaten me: "We'll boil you with boiling water, you and your cats". As a result, I have to feed my cats near the trees. They seek to drive me away even from under the trees. I have 3 cats and a dog. I get it in the neck from my man and my daughter. In a vet clinic, to have a cat examined, I have to pay, if I need to treat a cat, it costs Rbls. 500. To cut it short, I was told in FAUNA (Site editor note: Dept. of City fauna at Moscow Department of Housing and Communal Services and Municipal Improvements or Mayor Office): Let your animals die a natural death. Letter 2
To: Autonomous Non-profit organization Ourselves undernourished, we feed neglected cats and dogs. In the buildings, they close all air-ducts in the basements, and the cats remain unattended: some die in the basements with closed air-ducts and windows, other die in the streets. The house maintenance department ordered to scatter a special flea powder in the basement. At the same time, in the street, where we feed the cats, people apply chlorine to the very food and pour boiling water. A lot of cats and dogs vomit at night, foe they have no shelter: all kittens have been torn apart, poisoned, we've been cursed. A woman from the 8th Ulitsa Sokolinoy Gory, quite young, feeds cats and dogs, herself apparently starving, all dried out - bony, dry, obviously because of the homeless animals, just terrible. Help and do something, we are all tired and very sick, in the meantime, someone keeps throwing in new homeless animals in all the houses every day in cartons from the 'Little Bird' market. Reply from Moscow Government
Moscow Department of Housing At the request of Moscow Mayor's Office and Moscow Government dated 02.02.2004 No 3-9-5386/4 Moscow Department of Housing and Communal Services and Municipal Improvements has looked into your petition that arrived on Moscow Mayor's pager and is pleased to inform as under. ***** To: Autonomous Non-profit Being a guardian of animals, I encounter violations of human rights all the time, and I must say that in a country, tolerant to cruelty, there can be no future. Officers of those in power scoff at people and animals, while not performing their direct functions of protecting both the animals and the people, subjecting the objects of human care to excruciating death before very eyes of the guardians and children. Making people to endure stresses and heart attacks. Such was the case of lady S. who lives in my house, flat No... The personnel of the local house maintenance authority closed the basement air-ducts with grates, when cats were still there. The woman was in need of an urgent medical care. The basement serves as a shelter from elements for homeless cats, stray dogs. These creatures do not have a warm home, or loving owners, and throughout their short life they have to withstand pain, fear and starvation. ***** To: Charitable Society for the Guardianship of Homeless Animals

It was with great joy and hope that I learned about the existence of your Society in Moscow. A appeal to you with a big request: do help resolve positively the problem of homeless cats. ***** To: Director of the Autonomous Non-profit Organization I've loved cats ever since I was a child. I became a serious defender of cats some seven years ago. I am 57. I don't work to be able to feed homeless cats and my own cats : I have seven cats and two kittens in my one-bedroom flat. I pick up homeless kittens and dying cats; I nurse them back to health. ***** To: "Charitable Society for the Guardianship of Homeless Animals"
I'm 60, I'm a physician by education, at present I'm on pension, a disabled of 2nd category, have been acting as a guardian of homeless animals for the last 10 years. I have a husband (like me, a disabled of 2nd category), a beloved male cat Tikhon and just as beloved 10-12 mongrel homeless cats, for whom I have a great pity, whom I adore, feed, treat, nurse, endure losses and worry, when new homeless cats come. ***** To: "Charitable Society for the Guardianship of Homeless Animals"

We are guardians of homeless animals, including cats that live in the basement of our house. We feed, treat and seek to neuter them on a regular basis as well as keep the place around their habitat clean and tidy. Besides, we take care of the animals that live in our homes. ***** To: "Charitable Society for the Guardianship of Homeless Animals"
I'm writing to you in connection with the current distress of homeless animals that die by the thousand. The animals are given poison and are walled up alive in the basements. We, guardians of animals, have deprived ourselves of normal life. We have turned our flats into a shelter. We treat, neuter and accommodate animals. Imagine a person's patience and effort it takes to stand near a metro station with a kitten in hands, trying to find a kind-hearted person for kitten's owner. Also, think of militia with clubs threatening to call a detail and kill the animal. We endure insults and humiliation. We have nowhere to forward our complaints to. The animals in the street do not live, but anguish. ***** I implore you to protect cats from brutal annihilation, which has been going on for years on order of the Manager L.I.Teplotanskikh.

"Charitable Society for the Guardianship of Homeless Animals"
I've been feeding up homeless cats for about 15 years, and I've encountered all kinds of situations, I can tell you! Barbarity is the only right word for the current state of affairs. When it became possible to sterilize homeless cats free of charge or for very small amounts of money, this seemed a way out. Yet, nobody notes the number of homeless cats on my allotment being reduced: people keep throwing in new cats. Sterilization of domestic animals proves to be too expensive, nobody is liable for the animals one keeps, they simply release the cats, when the heat is on; the cat gets lost, grows wild or dies; often people throw in kittens, too. The problem is that there are no shelters for cats, whereas dog shelters have long been crammed to capacity.
In a situation like this, hooligans and sadists have a ball: they have someone to practice on! There were cases, when cats were deliberately badgered by a pet dog. The teenagers would rip the kittens' bellies in the basement. Not long ago, at a construction site, the workers buried a stray dog alive, alleging they were tired of it. Near my house, there runs a heat-supply line under the ground, and there is a small hole through which the cats penetrated and lived there. The minute the chief of the heat-supply line section learned that there were cats using the line as a shelter, the hole was closed with stone and concrete, the animals were walled up alive. Several times we had to unwall the hole, until it was paved with concrete, and we gave up all hope to destroy it. Homeless cats and dogs suffer a lot! People have got used to this suffering and now we reap the results of such habitual attitude: indifference, irresponsibility, callousness. Bitter as it is, it should be admitted that we have to live in such society. When will the state finally have the courage to face the problem?

of homeless cats and dogs all over Sikolinaya Gora
(Ulitsa Garazhnaya, Metro Station "Shosse Entuziastov,
56 stray dogs in Utkina Street, lots of homeless cats)
We have a girl and a boy, Sveta and Tolya, by name, who only live thanks to the 'Little Bird'. They buy off the kittens and the dogs, and people give them some money (to accommodate the homeless animals), later, they throw away the animals all over the Sokolinka District. We are on the verge of dying, in a state of a ner vous breakdown. Do something to help us. The address of Sveta and Tolya is this: 3rd Ulitsa Sokolinoy Gory, house 14, flat 25. It's them who abandon the animals, do have a look around the 'Little Bird' after going to some discreet places: you will see all the ditches filled with puppets and kittens. The place should be kept in proper order, such people must be driven out of there with militia. There are many people like Dsveta and Tolya, who drop homeless animals all over Moscow. Pardon, I'm not much of a writer. Sorry, I have a problem with my eye-sight.

Letter from a lady-dweller of Moscow Eastern Administrative District
"Charitable Society for the Guardianship of Homeless Animals"
From April to September of 2003, packs of stray dogs tore to pieces 12 cats near our house.
There is an enormous number of stray dogs, they form packs, and lone individuals that stay away from them they tear to pieces. That was exactly what happened to a dog, a beloved pet of our entire district, it was bitten severely on July 5, 2004, when the dog was simply running by the pack of dogs. On June 19, near the garages in Yegerskaya St.. and Okhotnichya St., a small dog was murdered brutally by a group of people of no fixed address (ONA): the dog would not allow anyone to come near her and take her puppy, it was barking loudly, but was overpowered by three sadists, the poor dog was survived by four one-month old puppets. The dwellers of nearby streets express their profound indignation with the cruelty of the scoundrels, beasts who eat dog's flesh, and of others, who are capable of killing a dog, even though they do not eat the dog's flesh. Today, such people kill a dog, Tomorrow, they may well murder a human being.
Every day, when feeding my cats, I experience great tension, because the owners of large dogs walk them out, usually unmuzzled and without leads. On seeing the cats, the dogs jump over the fences, scare the cats, and as I begin protecting my cats, driving the dogs away, I start an argument with a dog owner who is really very happy his pet has had time to warm up a little, sometimes setting his dog at my cats. I realize that my life is not protected at all, and I can also be torn to pieces. There is no law protecting one from such owners, still, it is possible to issue a decree, making it mandatory to walk staffords, black terriers, German shepherds and other serious dogs on a lead and muzzled. I live near a pond (600 m in diameter) and can watch these fighting breeds of dogs being walked out by their owners. Side by side with the dogs, there walk people, children play, ride bicycles; it is terrifying to think that an accident may occur any minute. Plus, the territory remains defecated: in summer the feces are in the grass; in spring, one simply has nowhere to tread. The area I'm talking about is Sokolniki, a recognized clean area of Moscow.
Why do fauna experts in the districts, areas, prefectures, WATS not attend to animal population control: trapping and sterilization? One simply has to walk the streets of industrial areas and park zones and see for oneself the huge numbers of homeless animals; no officials attend to this problem: all rely on compassionate people who feel sorry for animals. Such people feed them, sterilize when they can. But this is all peanuts. How many animals can elderly people feed and give home to with their meager pensions? Officials shift all hard work on pensioners, themselves drawing handsome salaries. The guardians, in the meantime, give away the last penny, sacrifice their health. Fighting with the local house maintenance authorities for any tiny slit in the basements to rescue the cats. And, despite all kinds of decrees and letters, officials are intractable: the basement air-ducts are closed with grates and meshes, the trap-doors are closed, while sanitary-and-epidemiological stations apply all kinds of poisons to eliminate homeless animals. Let the rats and mice run around, they do not fear the poisons: they got adapted, and the animals will die.
In the whole of Moscow there are a few sterilization stations to attend to the army of homeless animals. These stations will never cope with the problem. If we add here the number of sterilized animals, the army of animals will never decline. The authorities should feel ashamed, telling the guests about Moscow only municipal animal shelter, where they invite the owners to surrender their pets. Has anyone of the officials visited that drab makeshift of a shelter, leaking, during a rainy season, with cold kernels in winter, with no implements, water hoses to wash the cages or pour water for drinking, at times without food? A proper animal shelter ought to have been built and commissioned in 2004. Yet, commencement of construction is as distant as can be, while winter is too far away. And again dogs will be freezing, and cats may survive thanks to a small stove. Where has the money allocated for shelter construction gone? Why misinform people with tales of well-being, hold forth about who should animals be saved from?
Pack of lies should be stopped along with reports of fake shelters, sterilization. The money should not be stolen from hapless animals. Shelters should be set up, there must be sterilization stations in each housing estate; kind-hearted people should not be interfered with, but assisted. If a house or an area is inhabited by animals, no trap-doors should be closed: anything must be done for animals not to feel starvation, cold and fear. The guardians should be assisted. A law on animals is required urgently. Does it take a lot of one's brain to draft such a law? How many human tragedies over the fear for the life of animals, for their hardships, deaths, thoughts of how and with what to help them, fed them: all this leaves an imprint on one's state of mind. People take ill, see a psychiatrist. And nobody regards human tragedy as a serious problem.
Many people give up any idea of rest, do not go on leave, they get up and go to sleep with just one thought on their mind: are their charges still alive?
I'm convinced that our leaders deserve very serious denunciation for the policy being pursued in respect of animals and people who are not indifferent to the animals' destiny.

Letter from a lady-dweller of Moscow North-Western Administrative District
For the last 10 years, I've been going out to feed homeless cats, no matter what weather or my condition. I can only attest that each year the position of the cats is getting worse. Lately, the city authorities with the aid of their ardent officers, absolutely indifferent to the woes of others, have begun the murdering in a most cruel way of homeless cats by closing the basements, where the cats live, with bars, bricks, etc. The hapless cats that have no home or food through human cruelty, are now devoid of empty basements that nobody wants; in those basements the cats had lived for dozens of years under any regime. They had fought mice and rats courageously, doing no harm to anybody, only good. Cats are clean animals, they do not defecate the place they live in, despite the popular fallacy of the people, who know nothing about the cats: they do everything outdoors, neatly burying their feces in the ground (unlike the dogs).
The God himself gives them life and controls their number, while people are trying to improve what the God is doing , by thinking they are more clever and will be able to do things better. I wrote a letter to Yu.M.Luzhkov, requesting not to close the basement dormer windows, but received no reply, naturally. In fact, they did not have to do anything, just not do harm. Myself and several people I know, fed our homeless smaller brethren from our more than modest pays and pensions. We are prepared to sacrifice something, not buying things for ourselves, but then our conscience will be clear: may our rubles and kopecks be used for the good of others. If only those clinging to power could take just one look in the eyes of these hapless cats that are yearning for that small handful of vermicelli, and then they don't know where to hide from the pouring rain and frost, I suppose even their shaggy, frosty hearts would falter. What comes of all this, we can judge at least by forest fires that broke out after the bogs were drained.
The city council officers use some anti-terrorist law as a pretext not to do anything about the problem of homeless cats. One is under the impression that terrorists do nothing but lay explosive charges in the basements via the dormer windows in the basements. If they do want to blast something, they will do this anyway, even if everything is walled up, windows and walls. Clearly, this is only the stupidity and excuses of officers, executing the directives of their chiefs with zeal, compounding these with their own stupidity. One is struck by the callousness of the high and mighty. Those who can and must solve the problems of homeless animals, solve them on a banditry principle: "No person, no problem". At all times, always, the rich used to be the charity-seekers, building hospitals, shelters, museums. Nowadays, all charity seems to be focused on roads, roads, roads. Now, a new craze: flowers - flowers that you see everywhere. But can I really feel any joy at the sight of flowers, when I know that poor cats and their kittens are on the verge of an agonizing death before my eyes from cold and human cruelty. Wherever I apply with the problem of basements, I hear the same reply: we got orders from the top, it's none of our business, our cats are at home, as for these, we don't care a damn.
Dear executives of the Society!
If you can help even just a little, knock on the doors, write letters, beg everywhere, beg the government, the mayor's office, the United Nations, anywhere you like, but save these hapless creatures.
May God help you.
Respectfully yours,

At first, I joined forces with a woman , and we used to feed cats near a 9-storied apartment house. We had 15 charges. You cannot imagine what we experienced from the residents of that house: they threw bottles, apple stumps at us, poured water and hurled abuse (Russian invective), called the knackers. At that time, there worked a very nice lady at the house maintenance authority, she always warned us of the planned arrival of the knackers, and we would take the cats to our flats. Once, I had to beat off the knackers, they called me names (called me a 'drunkard', although I don't drink at all) and left. Still, they did catch the cats at some other place. We were unable to save our charges. We came to feed the cats but did not find them. I was weeping so much. I only had one half-blind female cat left at home, she was dying and stayed at my place all the time. Later, the residents of the house, with the aid of the house maintenance authority, closed all air-ducts. Now, to tell the truth, they suffer from rats and mice, one rat even bit a small child. After that, they opened the air-ducts, but the cats would not go to them any more.
Over these years, I've seen enough of human cruelty. There used to live a small female cat near the house. Her owner (woman) had died, and the drunkard-son threw the cat out into the street. We all fed the cat, until someone punctured her with a stick: you should have seen her face, how that cat suffered, when she was dying.
Two-months old kittens were thrown out into snow in autumn. I picked them up and accommodated. I saved a kitten by taking it out of the garbage chute. Five kittens were thrown out of the window, one survived by miracle. Some puppets were tied up in packets and thrown into a refuse dump, I untied the packets. Even children have no pity for kittens: they throw stones at them.
A child hit a kitten with his small leg and screwed his jaw, the kitten died. Many cats and kittens die being gnawed by dogs. Many times, I crept into the basements to rescue the cats and saw many creatures dying, lying on a cold concrete floor, it's a heart-breaking sight. Many cats died on my hands. I bury all of them and pray that they forgive people for their cruelty. I mourn every little cat, now I'm writing this letter and crying.
I'm so sorry for Russian people. Will they ever realize that until we become more kind, learn to value all that is around us, we shall never live better than we used to in the stone age. We shall stay that way for ever. Although people began driving foreign-made cars, their hearts are still made of stone, they can easily crush a cat or dog, not even stopping. When I'm driving to my summer-cottage with my husband, I cannot look at the road: the sight of a crushed cat or dog hurts me so much! I can't say I'm happy with my husband, he says I am a case for Kashchenko (the name of a famous Moscow psychiatric clinic). I even cannot afford going on a holiday, unable to take my cats to the summer-cottage: there are equally merciless people there. Once, I ventured going to the summer-cottage, and I lost one of the cats.
At present, we feed our cats after twilight so that nobody could see us. I neuter homeless cats at Movet. Even the Germans are willing to help us, they collect our cats, which are brought by the Russians for a lethal injection. It's a shame we have so many drunkards, and everybody seems to put up with this. On the contrary, all are against the defenseless homeless cats ands dogs.
I feel pain and shame for Russia, a damned and God-forsaken country. I want the entire world to know how compassionate people in Russia anguish and suffer. People in Russia live a life they deserve.

Letter from a lady-dweller of Moscow Southern Administrative District
I would like very much to see the cats always fed up, accommodated in a warm shelter, where they could hide from cold weather, sultry sun, rain and have a good sleep. Come to think of it, they should always beware of danger, which may emanate from the packs of stray dogs, from spiteful boys or adults who are either indifferent to cats or hate them. I regret to say I do not have enough money to feed all of the cats, keep them away from the packs of stray dogs (a few of my pets were torn to pieces) treat them for diseases, warm them up, caress them, create decent living conditions. I spend my personal money to buy them food, drugs, I use my time for buying them food, cooking, feeding and cleaning.
I cannot express the extent of my physical and moral exertion! I can see very few really kind-hearted people around, and what sort of abuse, invective, threats and insults I have heard over these years hurled at me ... They used to close up basement windows through which the cats got to the basement, warmed themselves up or found shelter from the dogs. In winter, they would have frozen stiff without the basement. Even my relations and my husband are unhappy about permanent problems, stressful situations that always pursue me.
Often I have to restrict my diet (the pension is too small!) to provide means for the cats, let alone afford to go on holiday for a few days with relatives, friends, because I cannot leave my charges to anyone's guardianship, let alone a trip to a pensioner's home , sanatorium to receive medical treatment for some time. Even when I feel unwell, run temperature, I cannot help thinking about my cats: how can they go around being hungry? I pit on my clothes and go feed them. I'm most anxious that there will come the time, when I simply will be unable to go out and feed my cats. Who could replace me? I don't know such person.
As far as the assistance of state institutions, government officers, who should help us, is concerned, I don't even think about them, for I'm sure not to get any practical help there. Either total indifference, lack of understanding, or sheer insults, mockery and remarks of the type: "... Nobody forces you to engage in this!" That is all. I feel this is a stance of our state: no assistance to guardians or animals. Therefore, people like me have problems, not the officers who ought to attend to these matters.
Kindness, humanism, care and love of our smaller brethren, where are they? Our state stays away from the problem, it does not think about us or about homeless animals. This is my opinion.

Letter from dwellers of Moscow Southern Administrative District
We have to engage in guardianship of necessity. We help our charges out of pity and, like any normal human being, we cannot remain indifferent to the hardships these animals have to endure (cold, starvatilon, walling up in the basements, baiting, cruel treatment by people, etc.).
Guardianship of animals is time consuming and deprives a person of rest; besides, it entails heavy material expenses, and one has to sacrifice many things.
Despite this, constant struggle is going on with the house residents who don 't like animals and are trying to hurt them in anyway possible; we also have to struggle with the workers of the unitary customer management, who wall up the basement air-ducts together with the animals that we guard. This is psychological persecution aimed at us, not the animals. It is very hard to live amongst people, especially those in power: knackery is flourishing among them, and not only towards the animals.
On more than one occasion, we had to witness cruel treatment of animals (cats, dogs): beating, baiting, walling up, burning down, etc. Furthermore, there are no laws with which to protect animals and people, including children, suffering for them. There are no decent animal shelters, while the existing ones bin the majority of the cases look like knackeries and are used by the owners in their own interests.
The great poet named animals "our smaller brethren" out of pity. The poet's word was the act of God; God also created every creature, and every man will answer before God for his attitude toward thew smaller brethren.
In connection with what we have written here, we appeal to the Charitable Society for the Guardianship of Homeless Animals as the only organization in Moscow capable of hearing and helping us. By helping our smaller brethren you will, above all, help us, the common people.
Thanking you in advance,

The cats are given poison under the pretext of the current deratization campaign. I applied to the sanitary-and epidemiological station, where I was told that all poisons in their possession were only intended for rats and were not harmful to other animals.
Which means that Mrs. Teplotanskikh had applied to some other organizations, where banned chemicals were used, which caused an agonizing death of both the pets and homeless animals.
At the moment, there are corpses of animals in the basement. Please, draw up a report on the poisoning of animals.
