On November 14, the first hearings in the case of Ryzhik’s murder will take place in the Cheryomushkinsky Court of Moscow. The story is as sad as life: the dog Ryzhik lived near the Konkovo metro station, she was fed and loved, and the security guard Surkov took her and beat her to death in front of the amazed public. It may seem that they are doing something stupid: they feel sorry for the dog, but when no one cares about people, the trial of the dog’s killer seems absurd. Only the fact that animal advocates achieved this trial gives some hope to all those offended, not just dogs.
