First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Ecology Committee Vladimir Burmatov criticized the initiative put forward by the Orenburg Region Governor Denis Pasler. He said regional lawmakers are proposing to submit an initiative to the State Duma for a bill, according to which they will humanely euthanize stray and pet dogs that show aggression. In a conversation with socialbites.ca, Burmatov described Pasler’s proposal as a “populist initiative” and an “imitation of violent activities”.
“Only one imitation of violent activity continues. What prevented you from working before? After all, this is not the first tragedy, it is not the first time that the prosecutor’s office has drawn attention to this, including official instructions: rectify the situation, build bunkers, start trapping. The district has money. I go to the website of the Investigative Committee and it turns out that there is such a “no-target” road repair in the Orenburg region. Yes, it was possible to build a shelter with this money. Or money is used there to service the luxury cars owned by the management. So they have the money for it, but they don’t have the money, the will, or the time to do it to protect people, the lives and health of citizens. Wow!” said Burmatov.
He added that there is no need for the authorities to take any action in the State Duma to resolve the situation with the attacks of stray dogs in the area. According to Burmatov, regional authorities have the right to independently issue regulations to protect the life and health of citizens from attacks by stray animals.
“In the Orenburg region, and especially in Orenburg, they deliberately sabotaged the implementation of federal law. So far, not a single municipal shelter has been built there, normal trapping has not been done there, according to the prosecutor’s office there were 750 applications per year from citizens requesting to trap homeless animals, which were simply ignored. . It begins now: there we will introduce something to the State Duma. Is this what people expect? “People are waiting for real actions that do not exist and whether people can expect it from the authorities,” he said.
Burmatov hopes that the attacks of stray animals in the Orenburg region can come to an end with the intervention of the Investigative Committee.
“Only after that, they can get dizzy and normally start removing stray dogs from the street, protecting people, adopting local laws, building shelters, placing aggressive animals there, keeping them out, mass neutering in the area, developing programs. for the shelter of animals. Support the volunteers who do this with a heartfelt call, as in matters where there are no such problems. Where this is done, there is no bite, no attack, no citizen who is bitten. Now, at the request of my attorney, the head of the housing and social services department was arrested while the criminal case was being investigated, the mayor and the deputy mayor were interrogated. “The investigation has begun working with those directly responsible for this collapse,” he said.
Formerly SU SK in the Orenburg region reportedthat a pack of stray dogs bitten and killed a schoolboy while walking by a garage cooperative. As a result of the injuries received, the child died at the scene. Upon his death, a criminal case was filed under the article “Negligence resulting in the death of the person”.

Governor Denis Pasler declarationHe said mayors in the area have been instructed to capture all neglected dogs after a pack of stray animals attacked a child.
