The Supreme Khural of the Republic of Tyva adopted a law allowing the killing of stray animals, according to its website.
The Law “On the Treatment of Animals Without Owners” gives the right “to use the killing of animals with persistent aggressive behavior,” the Khural said in a statement. Veterinarians will decide whether to kill the animal.
The law provides for the capture of animals and their placement in temporary detention centers, the isolation of dogs “posing a threat to the life and health of people” and “providing a set of measures aimed at preventing infectious diseases and preventing attacks by ownerless animals on people »
As TASS notes, the initiative was unanimously supported in the final reading by 28 deputies.

In some cases, the animals were given a month to find a home, and in others only ten days.
