Bastrykin ordered to develop amendments to laws after dog attacks on people

Chairman of the Investigative Committee (IC) of Russia Alexander Bastrykin instructed to analyze cases of attacks by stray dogs on people and prepare proposals for changing the law.

Such an order was given “in connection with another case of the death of a child as a result of an attack by a pack of stray dogs,” according to a statement on the website of the UK.

Bastrykin ordered “to work out proposals for improving the current legislation in order to increase the safety of the population and exclude such facts.”

The Investigative Committee emphasized that “such a reaction is caused from time to time by repeated incidents associated with attacks of stray animals on people in different regions of the country.”

Moreover, they complain in the UK, “this problem does not receive due attention, and in some subjects, municipal officials, alas, simply ignore it.” “Obviously, to prevent such cases, tougher legislation is required both at the federal and regional levels,” the press service of the committee said.

Recall, on the eve it became known that in the village of Domna, Trans-Baikal Territory, stray dogs bit to death a seven-year-old girl. A criminal case was initiated under the article on negligence, which negligently caused the death of a person. Later, dissatisfied residents of the village of Domna gathered for a spontaneous gathering near the building of the local administration, and today the villagers organized themselves to shoot stray dogs.

Another case occurred in Yakutsk – a pack of 5-6 dogs suddenly attacked a man, and while fighting back, he accidentally strangled one of them.

Let’s add, on December 21 it was reported that in Russia they would be fined for cats and dogs thrown into the street.
