Many of us are sending donations to various NGOs around the world who provide humanitarian aid to the families inside Ukraine, or to those who have fled their homeland while seeking haven abroad.

If you are one of those who has donated (thank you!), or is planning to donate, please also remember their four-legged friends, who are very popular in Ukraine. There must now be hundreds of thousands of pet animals, which need help and food, whether abandoned, or travelling with their families.

May this human-caused tragedy and utter devastation end…
