"Disposable" items can be taken to a vet clinic or sent via Nova Poshta

In Kyiv, animal rights activists collect used disposable electronic cigarettes (vapes) to light up the enclosures of their wards.

They have already purchased a generator for the shelter and want to install LED lamps, reports "ZooPatrol UA" on Facebook.

Animal rights activists explained that used "disposable" lights will be turned into lighting for cats and dogs.

"They will make lamps for us for free, but we need "material" (used devices)," they said.

Such vapes can be brought to the Zoopatrul Clinic, located in Podil in Kyiv, at the address: st. Verkhniy Val, 40.

Devices can also be handed over through the New Post branch - branch #60 Kyiv, Revnyuk Dmytro Valentynovich О67-407-50-79. However, animal rights activists emphasized that the sender pays for the delivery.

"We help ecology and tails!", they called.

Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that students of the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute collect used disposable electronic cigarettes to turn them into an element of the drone drop system, which are then sent to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

As EcoPolitic previously reported, the Kyiv public organization Yapomoga handed over 800 kg of fodder to the military, which are the first to enter the occupied territories, so they immediately feed the exhausted animals.
