"This court allowed to kill"

On October 17, a promotion was held at the City Court of St. Petersburg against the abolition of the APVV program - on catching, sterilization, vaccination and returning to the streets of homeless animals. According to activists, the APVV program was a humane way to gradually reduce the population of street dogs. Vaccinated and sterilized, they could survive their century without leaving offspring. Activists are afraid that now dogs will simply kill, because in St. Petersburg there are no municipal shelters for stray animals. The court lawsuit with a request to close the ATV program was filed by one of the inhabitants of St. Petersburg. She brought data on thousands of dog attacks on city residents over the past year. Veterinary services claim that such statistics do not exist.
