New People held an All-Russian charity event to help shelters

Today, on November 6, they called for giving warmth at the All-Russian charity event. Her main goal is to help shelters before winter sets in. This is how activists of the New People party try to draw attention to one of the serious problems — abandoned pets, and they do it clearly.

Today, one of the shelters also recalled the idea of the animal protection code, which proposes to clearly specify the duties and responsibilities of animal owners.

"It is important to talk about the responsibility of homeowners, but at the same time, the state should help such shelters. Here, for example, in this shelter, 400 pets, 100 find their new owners every year. Nevertheless, every year the number of such dogs, which are being abandoned, unfortunately, is only growing," said Vladislav Davankov, first deputy head of the New People faction in the State Duma.

Representatives of the party also call for the creation of a special register, which will include data on lost and found animals.

For brothers no less: fines for discarded animals are planned to increase 10 times

How much money are we talking about and will tougher penalties help reduce such cases?

On August 31, the Ministry of Finance announced that a digital government service would be created in Russia, through which citizens would be able to take pets from shelters. According to the agency's plans, digital services in the field of animal treatment will be implemented in the country. It was noted that the functionality of the system will also allow searching for missing animals and registering veterinary specialists. It is planned to allocate 80 million rubles for the implementation of these projects.
