Cats and dogs will be included in the bill on mandatory labeling and registration of animals, said Vladimir Burmatov, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Ecology, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection, write “News”.
The Ministry of Agriculture will prepare amendments to the bill for the second reading in the State Duma. Legislation should provide for the registration of pets in accordance with the instructions of the President on the formation of a responsible attitude towards animals in society.
According to Burmatov, the Russians are waiting for the registration of cats and dogs, as many of them are lost and with the marking they will be easier to find. In addition, accounting will bring to justice the people who threw the animal away. This will make it possible to punish owners who refuse dogs after they sent them on their own, and the animals attacked people.
The media called the timing of the submission to the State Duma of the draft law on labeling animals
“It should be free, but the identification is variable. So that the owner himself chooses the method of marking the pet: it will be a tag, a brand or a chip,” the deputy explained.
