Deputy Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region Vladimir Petrov proposed to create in Russia an animal zoo - a special division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the protection of animals, RT. Petrov will send his proposal to Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsov on December 25. Special forces, according to the deputy, should deal with cases related to cruel treatment of animals, attacks on people stray and domestic dogs and cases abandoned by the owners of pets. "In our country there are no organizations responsible for solving problems in this sphere, which leads to sad consequences. This is the reason for the emergence of so-called dog-men who are trying to solve problems, in particular with stray dogs, their "methods". This clearly shows that when a state institution does not function, then attempts are made to replace it in society, "the website's source quotes the deputy. As noted by Petrov, such police units operate in Europe and the United States. For example, in Serbia there is an Animal Rescue Serbia service, whose employees go for free calls to help animals.

RT recalls that the Public Chamber proposed to create a zoo police in Moscow, but it was not possible to do this either because of the absence of relevant laws. The State Duma in mid-December adopted a draft law that toughens punishment for mockery of animals. The document increases the maximum punishment under Article 245 of the Criminal Code ("Cruelty to Animals") from two to five years of imprisonment.
