In the absence of safe extraction corridors for animals, organizations and volunteers coordinate daily rescue actions to extract them to European Union countries the best they can. The 21st century has seen more than 80 million people forced to flee their homes due to war, conflict and violence. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has estimated that more than 5 million people have done so since the beginning of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine. But what about the animals, what about the thousands who have been left behind? For them, no humanitarian corridors are agreed upon as they are for the civilian population. Luckily, the efforts of organizations and volunteers, both Ukrainian and foreign, are making it possible for many of them not to be abandoned to their fate and, consequently, condemned to death. It is impossible to determine how many animals have made it out of the country since the start of the war. What is certain is that there are numerous daily departures to EU countries in public transport, in vans, trucks and privately owned vehicles. Yet they are run by volunteers and are not enough in the face of the high number of those who have been or left behind. In 2014 an estimated 750,000 dogs and 5.5 million cats were in Ukraine, to which other species, including exotic animals, whose condition makes their rescue more difficult, should be added. One thing that seems certain is that the most affected by this situation are, above all, large dogs, farm animals and those kept in zoos and reserves. Organizations such as the Polish Centaururs Foundation, the charitable foundation of the Ukrainian Equestrian Federation or the Lviv animal shelter, among others, are undertaking titanic efforts to save animals from war on a daily basis. They have a large and valuable army of volunteers, as well as funding through online crowdfunding and private donations.
