To be fair, I understand your points and reasoning, but animals are being burnt alive according to some sources is still..., I'm still gonna watch the euro because I like football, but surely there should be at least some humane practice involved in this.
Its not the first time this has happened, the Olympics in Greece, Italy has done it before I believe too, and not all animals can be saved, when the population of feral animals spirals unfortunately this happens but I wish that humane practice was implemented and more care was put in place to ensure animals didn't suffer.
Also I believe Ukraine isn't so under-developed that they couldn't afford humane practice, my old next door neighbor went back to Ukraine as he could get as good benefits as over here in the UK for his circumstance, though I'm comparing a personal experience and couldn't back it up with any reports or anything.
