Thirty seven years after the world’s worst nuclear disaster, an incredible population of dogs remains in Chernobyl. The descendants of pets left behind, these animals represent a unique opportunity to study how mammals are affected by low-level radiation. YOU can help this effort RIGHT NOW.

    EDIT: Only $15k more to $100,000 total! Thanks for watching! The CFF website if you want to learn more: www.cleanfutures.org/dogs-of-chernobyl/ I included a lot more science in this one than I was expecting. Hopefully it's interesting (and a little sobering).

    "And if you're still not convinced, please enjoy a montage of brand new photos of tiny new cute puppies taken just a few weeks ago, set to semi-sad music. I know what I'm doing. It's for charity. Deal with it." Well played, Kyle Hill, well played. Have $256. For the pup-yats and prip-cats.

    Also the Chernobyl site is an unprecedented ecological environment. The amount of meaningful information we can learn for our potential future from sites like this can't be understated
  • @rockthehell6666
    Thank you for your support Kyle. With love from Kharkiv (Ukraine)
  • I went to Chernobyl in 2020 and met one of the most well known dogs, "Tarzan" and others, they are the nicest dogs you will ever meet and because of all the tourists they know "SIT" and "PAW" in many languages! Tarzan came with us on our tour and I loved his company, great video, great cause.
  • @tavitafish
    I think you meant why I need Chernobyls dogs
  • @liarus
    Man, non overbred dogs looks so good, i think every single one of the dogs you showed look beautiful, quite a change from the pugs and Chihuahuas you see in cities
  • Im so glad you are supporting the dogs of chernobyl! this is very wholesome You convinced me with those cut puppy pics at the end, £5 is all i can do but i hope it helps
  • @VayporWayve
    I think it’s really neat that Science Thor planned so far ahead for these videos that a single trip to the exclusion zone a couple years ago has supplied us with several high-quality documentaries later on. Absolute mastermind of content creation.
  • @Painfully_Punny
    I can only imagine to joy it must bring Kyle to know that his involvement has caused even the smallest amount of money to go to such a good cause, While a collective effort is required sometimes just shining a light on a issue can help in ways that no one can truly understand the impact. This is a good cause, this deserves attention, and if you can give it is worth every cent.

    "Nuclear power gets less scary, the more you learn about it. Climate change gets more scary." -- Cory Booker, one of the US presidential debates, 2016 Thanks Kyle and team for making nuclear less scary!
  • @TheBombanater
    This is the first YouTube charity I've ever donated to. The puppies and science are worth it. Kyle your an inspiration ^_^
  • @diarserouy
    That's a pity that here, in Ukraine, we know little about Chernobyl. We certainly need to know more about this tragedy. This is our own land.
  • @bryanmorris3545
    Fun fact: the dogs of Chernobyl tshirts for sale on the CFF page are of great quality. Super soft and comfortable, plus a great conversation starter. It’s definitely become a fave of mine.
  • @duanebuck193
    I think the studies have another benefit to society - by seeing how the dogs and cats are doing, it gives another window of knowledge into other disasters such as Fukushima to help understand their issues as well. Knowledge is powerful, and thankfully we have people like Kyle doing his utmost to get that information out there to us all - unlike the modern media (not bashing, simply stating a fact). We saw the misinformation that was done on 3 Mile Island, so these studies and reports help us learn and hopefully better understand the complexities.
  • @aceundead4750
    Your explanation of the frog's coloration makes them even more fascinating and astonishing than the misinterpretations made them. It's amazing how many science stories are actually made duller by media misinterpreting said stories.
  • @scottr2624
    I want to highlight a small bit of this video that earns some disproportionate respect from me: that moment when Kyle admits to the small self-serving aspect behind the video. To me, that does nothing to decrease the value of what is being done or the necessity of bringing attention to this cause, but it has a huge impact on my respect for you, Kyle. That self awareness, and openly admitting it, is something that happens far less often on this platform than it should, and it shows a genuineness to your work that reaffirms my faith and trust in you.
