CAPTION: Moscow's thousands of stray dogs have something to wag their tails about. Animal rights activists say the city has dropped a plan to round the dogs up and ship them to a camp far outside of town. (March 1)
NB. THIS IS A VOICEOVER TRANSCRIPT, NOT A FULL SHOT LIST
GOOD NEWS FOR THE ESTIMATED 26-THOUSAND STRAY DOGS THAT CALL MOSCOW HOME...
THEY'RE STAYING PUT ... AT LEAST FOR THE TIME BEING.
THE CITY COUNCIL HAS DROPPED A CONTROVERSIAL PLAN TO ROUND UP THE DOGS ... AND SEND THEM TO A CAMP FAR OUTSIDE OF TOWN.
A PLAN ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS CALLED 'MONSTROUS.'
THEY COLLECTED NEARLY TWO THOUSAND SIGNATURES OF FAMOUS ARTISTS AND MUSICIANS WHO WANTED TO KEEP THE DOGS IN THE CITY.
MOSCOW HAS SPENT SOME 45 MILLION DOLLARS OVER 12 MONTHS ON DOG SHELTERS, STERILIZATION AND OTHER EFFORTS TO DEAL WITH STRAYS ...
BUT CRITICS SAY MUCH OF THAT MONEY HAS GONE UNACCOUNTED FOR.
