And another reason to love the Sochi Winter Olympics: Killing the strays ***sarcasm***

@CharlesRobinson:
There are several really big dogs laying on the Sochi mountain boardwalk. They don't appear to be alive. Weird.

@CharlesRobinson:
Apparently Sochi is indeed poisoning stray dogs and that's what I stumbled upon this morning. A pretty disturbing scene. Large dogs, too.

Robinson is on site reporting from Sochi for Yahoo Sports.

Another reporter saw this and tweeted:
@JoAnnBarnas:
Stray dogs sunning themselves near my hotel the other day. Worried about their fate. I have 1 word for them: Run!

They may not be sunning themselves.

This was her tweet from six days ago:
@JoAnnBarnas:
There are stray dogs - and cats - around #Sochi2014 but they are so well-behaved they act like pets.


They may have been a part of the community and accepted. Not anymore.
