Why they want to replace “responsible treatment of animals” in Russia with murder
“I am in favor of euthanizing dogs. Moreover, it is more humane to the dog. There is a recommendation from the World Veterinary Association that it is more humane to euthanize a dog than to keep it closed in an aviary all its life,” Tsydenov said.
He also referred to the fact that there were «many cases of attacks by stray dogs on people» in the region, without giving exact statistics, and that in dogs, even after passing the system OSVV, “herd instincts” remain.
According to the head of Buryatia, after capture, animals will be placed in shelters for a period to be determined later by republican deputies. There, “the owners will have time to take the runaway dogs home, and the stray ones will be able to find their owners” — the rest will have to be euthanasia. shelters is “nothing more than a formality” and added that euthanizing animals will not solve the problem of stray dog attacks and control of their population.
