Natalya Tsvetkova

Natalya Tsvetkova is a prominent animal welfare advocate and coordinator of the 'Ray' foundation, which focuses on helping homeless animals in Russia. She has been vocal about the inefficacy of euthanizing stray animals as a solution to overpopulation, arguing instead for more humane methods such as the OSVV (catch, sterilize, vaccinate, release) program. Tsvetkova's insights have been influential in discussions about legislative changes concerning stray animals, emphasizing that past experiences with euthanasia have shown it does not effectively reduce animal populations.
