“It is needed because we have a very good law, objectively a very good law on the responsible treatment of animals, which introduces rules for the treatment of our younger brothers.
Including the fact that they cannot be thrown out into the street, cannot be disposed of, they cannot be tortured in circuses, zoos, they cannot be mocked, and so on.
But, like any law, it postulates this, but does not contain a sanction.
For violation of the sanctions, it was necessary to provide for in the relevant code, in this case in the code of administrative offenses.
We have foreseen these sanctions, ”said the deputy.
According to him, now there will be serious fines for breaking the law.
“For discarded animals - up to 30 thousand rubles.
For bullying them in circuses, zoos - up to 200 thousand rubles ... These are amounts that will be tangible and, it is clear that the second time a person will not want to get such a fine.
Therefore, we believe that this measure is long overdue and effective, ”concluded Burmatov.
Earlier, the State Duma submitted a draft on penalties for discarded pets.
