“The officials are to blame”: the reaction of the State Duma
Municipal officials are to blame for the death of a seven-year-old girl, who was bitten by a pack of dogs in the village of Domna in the Chita district of the Trans-Baikal Territory. This was stated by Vladimir Burmatov, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Ecology, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection.
Shooting has been going on for decades. We see what it led to. This led to the scale of the problem that we have today. But money was stolen from shooting animals for decades – two billion rubles a year, every year. With this money it was possible to build 100 shelters a year, but instead this money was put into pockets.
In his opinion, shelters are the only effective way to regulate the number of stray dogs. The blame lies precisely with the officials, who “do not care about the citizens” – they had to organize the trapping of dogs and build shelters for animals, the deputy believes.
Governor’s response
The Governor of the Trans-Baikal Territory, Alexander Osipov, after the death of the girl, went to the place and offered condolences to the child’s family. He asked to change the federal law that regulates the capture of stray animals, the press service of the regional government reported. RIA News.
Unfortunately, there are flaws in the law that do not allow us to remove dogs from the streets of settlements. I have spoken about this many times. We will appeal to the Federal Assembly, the State Duma, the Government of Russia with a request to change this law
Stray flocks from the territory of Domna will be promptly removed, it is planned to hold a regional meeting of the commission for emergency situations with the heads of all districts of the region. An additional bus will be allocated for the region to transport people to the school, and the unlit streets of the village will soon be equipped with street lighting.
