How some russians are handling THE CRISIS!!!

The Global Financial Crisis has been affecting all the countries around the globe. And even though i am interested in the effects of it and outcomes globally, my first and prior concern is its consequences in Russian Federation, due to the fact that i am the russian. Unfortunately, i can not make the hyperlink for this post, as the information is taken from russian newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda", which is one of the most popular ones among economic, financial and political issues, and not all articles are available in english.

According to this article http://www.kp.ru/daily/24190/398000/ which was published recentely, on the 31st of october, many russians, especially those living in the capital Moscow, are trying to get rid of their pets, due to the fact that they need to be feeded. And the problem does not lie within the fact that russians do not have an opportunity to feed pets anymore, it is linked more to the fact that people are just in the panic for the unstable future and are not sure anymore, if they are going to be able take them to veterinarians. Pets food has not risen in Russia, but the costs of veterinarians, if they get sick, are relatevely high for the average person in the country. And, due to the fact that more and more people are getting redundant, this does make sense. Workers from pet pounds say that everyday, hundreds of people are calling only in Moscow, to give their beloved pets, to them. But, unfortunately, almost all pet pounds are at capacity. Also, according to the current statistics, there are now 35 thousand homless dogs in Moscow, which are getting agressive , because of the hunger.

All i can say now is that there are more outcomes from the global financial crisis, and this is just one of them. Follow my blogs to find out more.
