Anonymous brings you #OpUkraine

Greetings Citizens of the world,
We are Anonymous.
It has come to our Attention that the UEFA Football EURO 2012 & Ukrainian Government have been engaging in one of the most brutal, bloody systematic slaughters of animals the world has ever seen. So far 80,000 dogs have been killed in the cities of Ukraine to “clean-up” the streets for a week long football event. Over 1 Million people have signed various petitions addressed directly to the UEFA and Ukrainian Government calling for an end to these inhumane acts, yet they ignore every complaint. Even worse: The Ukrainian Government censors these events with lies and fabricated media reports. Why do you ask? The answer is clear, money. UEFA makes millions of Euros with this event, as does Ukraine for hosting the event. 250,000 more dogs lives will be lost leading up to the UEFA EURO 2012 and UEFA continue to deny having any involvement with the Ukraine’s slaughter, stating they cannot interfere with matters not directly related to football, even though they ARE directly related. UEFA has donated on two occasions 8,000 Euros for the Sterilization of stray Dogs, as well as cats in the city of Ukraine, as well as giving away 196 Million Euros in bonuses for the whole event. Who is to blame? Who do we point the finger at? It’s easy.
UEFA President Michel Franswah Platini & Ukraine President Viktor Yanukohvich, You are both solely responsible for this massacre on animals. When Several foreign animal organizations offered their knowledge and help to rescue the stray animals in the cities of Ukraine, you showed absolutely no interest. You claim there is not enough money to start an animal-rescue program, yet you have enough money to buy a 20,000 dollar mobile crematorium? Your actions contradict European Animal rights Convention and any adequate humans moral principles!

We Anonymous give you, Operation Ukraine. We will fight against your violation of human, and animal rights. We will not forgive your Canine Holocaust, and We will not forget the Censorship you impose upon the people. To the Ukraine Government & UEFA

We are Legion.
We do not Forgive.
We Do not Forget.
You should have expected US.

This might be an intended funny but it gutted me for some reason.
I spy:
a Damien Hirst allusion (unintentional or not)
a visual aid for discussing Baudrillardian theory (simulacra)
a sort of melancholy joke on Frosted Flakes’ Tony the Tiger (“they’re grr-reat!”)
something other people might think is funny
several men in black pants and pale blue collared shirts
a city I can’t identify
a caged beast that raises issues about animal rights / endangerment
Any additional caption / associational thoughts I missed? What’s your reaction to it?

Holy animal rights violations, Batman! WHAAAT? rental dogs?

Today we break the Yelp  mold and pull back from offering city-specific Yelp  Deals to bring you our first national deal! We’re pretty excited to  share this with you for two reasons. First, this is an innovative and  bold new channel that businesses can leverage to deepen engagement with  highly targeted consumers – consumers who will in turn, write reviews of  their real first hand experiences. 
 More  importantly, we’re keepin’ it YELPY for our users. Our ability to tap  into and target local consumers by interest (in this case puppy lovers),  anywhere across the US, means that we are able to provide our users  with the most compelling and relevant deals from businesses that are  highly rated on Yelp. Now that’s a win-win if we ever smelled one.
For our first national  Yelp Deal we searched high and low to find a deal YELPY enough. Trust  us, it wasn’t easy.

Oh, nevermind, it’s just a HILARIOUS APRIL FOOLS DAY PRANK! (click the picture to see the full “offer”  site —  def read the “reviews” as they are probably the funniest part!

200+ SHIH TZUS, MALTESES, CAVALIERS need homes after drug bust/back yard breeder

**200 DOGS NEED ADOPTING IN BROOKLYN NY**  

  

200+ PURE BRED SHIH TZUS, MALTESES, CAVALIERS need homes! They were found at a drug bust/ breeder in Virginia, kept outdoors, were freezing to death and nearly got euthanized. 

WE NEED TO FIND HOMES ASAP to save their lives - you can ADOPT or FOSTER. Pure breeds, all ages, FREE. We only have 2 days to RESCUE the dogs. Once they are fostered, adoption should be quick as there are so few small dogs up for adoption in the NYC/ Brooklyn area.

PLEASE PASS THIS AROUND!
