Nina-Marie Daniele recently weighed in on viral claims surrounding alleged animal cruelty in Georgia.
The UFC personality drew attention to posts and direct messages alleging that stray dogs in cities such as Tbilisi and Gori were being removed in large numbers and killed before being burned in crematoriums. The claims, widely circulated online, prompted protests and intensified scrutiny from animal rights groups tracking the situation.
She took to X to react to the news and said:
“Hey guys, it’s been brought to my attention a couple days ago that the stray dogs in Georgia are being taken from the streets and being burned alive in a crematorium. I’m trying to make this video without being emotional, but it’s really hard because I have so much love for Georgia and the people of Georgia and how you guys treated me and welcomed me. One of the most magical things about Georgia is just seeing all of the dogs in the street, so happy and healthy and taken care of. It’s just so heartbreaking to hear that these dogs are being rounded up and collected.”

She added:
“The government is saying that it’s not true, and I really hope it’s not, but I’ve been getting so many videos, so many DMs, and so many people reaching out to me telling me what’s going on. I have so much love for Georgia. I have so much love for the animals and for the dogs there. This is just so heartbreaking and it’s so, so wrong.”
