Animal welfare activists in Montenegro are alarmed by the issue of abandoned animals amid a heat wave in the Balkans. Several horses have been seen roaming the outskirts of Podgorica without shelter, water, or food. Temperatures have reached nearly 40 degrees Celsius, or over 104 Fahrenheit, putting the animals in danger. An activist highlights the lack of shelters for large animals in the country. Montenegro aims to join the European Union by 2028 and needs to improve its animal welfare laws. Authorities have advised people to stay indoors and drink water.
