“Four people stood at a distance of 50 meters from each other, holding posters calling for the protection of animals. The pickets lasted about two hours, then they were interrupted, as we believe illegally, by the police. They seized the posters, escorted us to the car to give explanations,” Mark Sokolovsky, deputy chairman of the Pervouralsk City Society for the Protection of Animals, told the agency.

The actions were held near the government buildings and the Legislative Assembly of the Sverdlovsk region. The activists demanded compliance with the legislation on the protection of animals and an end to violations related to their capture and killing.
