Tbilisi. Transparency International - Georgia has released a statement in the social network. "On September 1 the Zugdidi City Hall has posted on its Facebook page about the stray dogs being caught and transferred to the Samtredia stray dog shelter. The isolation of dogs is carried out by individual entrepreneur Giorgi Maghlaperidze, whose activities were described by "Transparency International – Georgia" in a thorough study released in June. We have found that the shelter arranged by Giorgi Maghlaperidze in village Baileti of the Ozurgeti District is in a grave condition, while the caught dogs are being killed with cruel methods". The organization addresses the municipalities to raise relevant funds and start working on the arrangement of a shelter for the stray animals.
