Primorye: the Kremlin will ask Kozhemyako to solve the problem of "whale prison"

The Kremlin will ask for the recently elected governor of the Primorsky Territory Oleg Kozhemyako to deal with the Kitov prison problem, which contains 12 braids and 90 Belukh, Interfax said with reference to the press secretary of President Dmitry Peskov. Earlier, actress Pamela Anderson turned to Vladimir Putin with a request to free Belukh and Killed from Kitov Prison in the Middle Bay.

Anderson, who is a member of the Advisory Council of the International Animal Protection Fund (IFAW), asked to stop the capture of wild marine mammals for the oceanariums and expressed hope for the speedy liberation of animals contained in the coastal "whale prison".

Peskov noted that Putin is not yet known about Pamela Anderson's appeal. He clarified, the Kremlin found out that the Beluh is not prohibited by law and is not regulated in any way, which allows them to resell them to oceanariums and other countries. The Kremlin is aware of the situation in Primorye, where "there is a huge number of killer whales and belugs, which were caught for subsequent resale in the oceaniums, including China."

The presidential spokesman added that "this is probably the issue of the legislative initiative of those who share the point of view of animal defenders."

In mid -November, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case of illegal catching wars and belugs. According to the agency, entrepreneurs who received permission to catch animals for cultural and educational goals in the summer were obtained by 90 beluga and 12 braids . Some of them were cubs, and another 13 animals were not even a year.

On December 2, employees of the regional Investigative Committee, together with scientists, tested the content of marine mammals on the basis in the Bay of the Middle.

According to the base coaches, after the inspection in one of the aviaries with a warehouse, a bottle of "whiteness" was found. Coaches and veterinarians were not allowed to animals, and when reading the chips, one whale was wounded. The department did not confirm this information.
