The Government of the Russian Federation supported, taking into account the comments, the bill of a group of senators on giving regions the right to establish additional requirements for the maintenance and walking of pets. This is reported by TASS with reference to the official review of the Cabinet of Ministers.
The project was submitted to the State Duma in June by senators headed by the chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Agrarian and Food Policy and Environmental Management Alexey Mayorov. The authors of the document proposed to give the state authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation the right to establish rules for walking and keeping pets, in addition to those prescribed in the law “On responsible treatment of animals”.
In particular, the document stipulates that such requirements should be aimed at ensuring the safety of citizens, animals, the safety of property of individuals and legal entities, ensuring proper care for pets and preventing cruel treatment of them, compliance with veterinary and sanitary-epidemiological norms and rules, as well astake into account the climatic conditions of the climatic zones of the Russian Federation, the historical and cultural traditions of the indigenous population. According to the authors of the initiative, currently the law defines only general requirements for keeping pets, and the regional authorities do not have the authority to regulate these issues, although they had the corresponding rights before the law came into force.
The Government of the Russian Federation noted that the draft law should be finalized, in particular, along with the directions of requirements for the maintenance of animals established by the state authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation, their nature should also be determined. It is specified that we can talk about a ban on walking pets by children under 14 years of age, the establishment of a limitthe number of pets in the places where they are kept or the requirements for the length of the leash for the dog. “At the same time, the list of such requirements should not be exhaustive,” the Cabinet of Ministers stressed.
