Animal lovers worldwide are standing together to stop the burning of dogs. For the first time ever, we're putting the blame squarely on Olympic committee organizers and calling for an immediate end to the killings.

Last week animal rights campaigner Yelena Simakina released undercover footage of street dogs being burned in furnaces in an effort to cleanse the streets of the Azerbaijani town of Baku in advance of the upcoming regional Olympic events known at the European Games, scheduled for June.

The video footage shows the bodies of several dogs, burning in a smoldering furnace. Yelena takes her camera through the surrounding concrete courtyard and blood is on the ground. A puppy cowers as Yelena strokes him, trying to reassure him. A second small dog is nearby. Yelena gently carries both dogs away with her as she leaves the pound.

In an interview with Meydan TV, the Head of the Baku City Housing Department’s Center for Stray Animals, Ahmad Mammadov said, "These are all lies. We are simply trying to hunt for stray animals and bring them here, and put them in these cages.”

Ironically, as Mammadov speaks, a steady stream of dark smoke still rises from behind the wall to the courtyard in a restricted area.

Don't think for a minute that there aren't discussions about rounding up the dogs when the Olympic and European Games organizers sit down at the table with a potential host city. The responsibility for these killings sits squarely on the shoulders of the event leadership who steer this massive business deal with what clearly amounts to a turn-cheek view of the dogs' suffering. Perhaps it's time we hold their feet to the fire.

TWO WAYS TO HELP:

1. PHOTOS: Join our social media worldwide protest right here. Simply take a photo of yourself hodling up a sign like the one shown here, and post it here in the comments section. These photos will be widely circulated throughout the campaign. Don't forget to add your COUNTRY to the sign.

2. PETITION: Sign the petition asking for an end to the killings in the city of Baku and ask for future transparency in rolling out humane stray dog management policies in advance of Olympic events. httpa//www.thepetitionsite.com/992/152/878/shame-on-the-european-games-save-the-dogs/:::http://www.thepetitionsite.com/992/152/878/shame-on-the-european-games-save-the-dogs/
