Killing red -blown animals is now legitimate. The State Duma excluded their shooting from the list of direct prohibitions

Hunting is usually intimate-like murders, some tough sexy perversions with violence, which means that video with such content in the world is more expensive. Sometimes we do not pay anything, and there are no thoughts, but suddenly we see intimate pictures with large Russian people, usually ugly, and large animals, usually beautiful, littered with them; Why big people advertise this - it is clear: because they can. But we were offered a different answer. After hundreds of media and Internet publications wrote that they allowed to kill Red Book animals in Russia (due to the fact that two new laws entered into force), a shout was heard from the Duma: no one permitted the hunt for the Red Book, for this seven years of imprisonment, all innovations-about salvation, and not about extermination, and all publications-incitement to commit a criminal crime.

On August 2 and the Ministry of Natural Resources, an explanation with numerous exclamations and oily emphasizations has spread (such ardor should apparently convince us of the rightness of the department, and not our own eyes, reading from the left to the right of black and white): “Hunting for red -blown animals in Russia is prohibited ! Amendments to federal laws that have entered into force, in no way change the situation with rare and disappearing animal species: it is still prohibited to hunt them. ” And below - specifically for the media: “We want to remind you that the murder of a red -blown animal is criminally punishable and can be punishable by imprisonment of up to 9 years (Article 258.1. Criminal Code of the Russian Federation)! We urge you not to mislead the inhabitants and not to disseminate unverified information . ”

As you can see, the deadlines are growing.

It is interesting, for how many years-seven or nine-would give one of the founding fathers of United Russia, the presidential envoy in the Duma Koskopkin, as well as the former deputy head of the Department of the President of the Russian Federation for domestic politics Livishin, if they had not been killed with five comrades when hunting a helicopter for red-browned archaks

(The famous collapse of January 9, 2009 in the Kosh-Agach State Zeaznik of Mountain Altai)?

The Ministry of Natural Resources, by the way, does not lie in his explanations. Indeed, “there are only five exceptional cases in which mining is allowed. The list of cases since 1997 has not changed ; That is, it has been operating for 24 years ! Hunting is not included in the list of exceptional cases ! ” (Bold font and exclamation - MPR.) The permission to extract disappearing species is issued by Rosprirodnadzor, and this is also not a decision of the last time, so - by decree of the 1997 government.

"Exceptional cases" is:

• elimination of a threat to a person,

• public health protection,

• protection against mass diseases of agricultural and other pets,

• monitoring and regulation of numbers,

• Ensuring the traditional lifestyle of indigenous peoples.

The MPR does not lie-however, if you notice, we are talking about the murder, and they, listing the exceptions operating since 1997, about prey. Since 1997, in all these cases, ruts were allowed to catch exclusively.

Is it a big difference for rare animals, and where does the misunderstanding and disputes come from? Okay, journalists - they really do not know how to read (they write and say), but there are special people who are able to explain to us what is written - scientists. The laws that entered into force on August 1 were adopted by parliament and signed by the president in December last year. Then, in December, a candidate of biological sciences, senior researcher at the Center for Cremming of Birds of Russia of the Institute of Ecology and Evolution of Ecology and Evolution named after A.N. Severtsova RAS Service Rosenfeld tried to stop the printer by writing in the Trinity Option about the crime of this bill, and urged scientists to subscribe under the president’s open letter (in addition, the public from the public appeared, under it today 186 thousand signatures). So, Rosenfeld, summing up the results of the three -year struggle to preserve the institution of the Red Book, indicates that innovations exclude a direct norm from the Federal Law on Hunting, prohibiting the hunt for red -blown animals. “In fact, this is the legalization of their VIP-fraud. In addition, the bill actually puts insurmountable bureaucratic obstacles to the restrictions on hunting and introducing new species to the federal and regional red books. ”

If this bill is adopted, under the guise of scientific research it will be possible to hunt, for example, on Putoran snow sheep, writes Rosenfeld. And it is this bill (amendments to two laws) that he was adopted.

The most authoritative Ceringia of Ecrav Mikhail Craindlin (Greenpeace) speaks now, with the entry of laws, about the same - about the legalization of trophy hunting in the Russian Federation: “In fact, a ban on shooting red -blown animals is canceled. If in the old law on hunting, shooting is directly prohibited, now this is not.

The hunting lobby in the Duma asked these amendments in order to be able to periodically, for example, under the guise of hunting for scientific purposes, to obtain red -blown animals. ”

Do you understand anything? Meanwhile to understand - I do not advise. It’s like in a game of thimble to understand, the eyes of the eyes where exactly you are inflated. (Yes, from your birth - if this game attracted you.) It is pointless to seek the truth and logic in the crooked coordinate system.

The new law changed two laws at once - “On the animal world” and “On hunting [...]”, that is, the Faunistic and another law, destroying the fauna (sometimes from the declared good goals). Now, as the MPR rightly notes, all regulation of issues of production of red -blown animals is attributed exclusively to the faunistic law (“On the animal world”). Logical and fair? And then. The question is, however, in another: why suddenly someone decided to smooth out contradictions and dubbing between these laws?

Why are the hunters almost completely known to the whole of Russia in the lists of initiators of this smoothing?

And why does the MPR not say that the previous (now remote) article from the law “On Hunting” simply prohibited the extraction of red-blown mammals and birds? Why remove it? In this former law, prey was prohibited with the exception of capture (not murder!) For the purposes of "research, educational activities, acclimatization, relocation and hybridization."

Yes, it was a long -standing resolution of the Cabinet, and it allowed the “extraction” of the Red Book all in the same “exceptional cases” - monitoring, regulation of numbers, etc. (see above). However, the law "On Hunting" prohibited the shooting, so the animals were caught. Pali, violating the law, only with a threat to life, when attacking a person.

Now, in principle, the Red Book, by enlisting the support of Rosprirodnadzor, can be shot by regulating their numbers or for monitoring (which is actually not). But the Ministry of Natural Resources continues to repeat that nothing terrible happened, that nothing happened at all, that hunting for rare animals is still prohibited. From the point of view of a white bear - whether he does not care, for what purpose they will kill him?

It would look excessive courage - to prescribe in the laws that ecologists are enemies of the people, that the Red Book must be burned, and animals - at least interrupted all if praising is under the tail. But everything is actually happening in our country with ecology, the Red Book and the claims of the hunting lobby - this is exactly what. So burbot digs into the deceased - until everything sucks, it will not go away.

And what's the difference, how will this process be designed? Returning to the curvature of our zoological reality: the very resolution of hunting by definition transfers animals, including red -knit, into the category of "hunting resource" - see paragraph 1 of Art. 1 of the Law “On Hunting ”: “Hunting resources are objects of the animal world that are [...] used or can be used for hunting.”

And we carry out the “turnover”, then “mining” this resource. We play with words. And it seems to be implied that these resources are renewable, while they are quite destructive;

Famous only from the pictures of the Dodo bird, heather grouse, zebraloshad kvagga - people destroyed all of them. And while the world is a warehouse of raw materials, dreaming of when people get to it and process the inert nature into something more valuable (trees - into wood, beast - into meat, skins and heads with horns over the fireplace), all the discussions about which law is more correct, look not very rational.

Crises have always helped more effectively process in “something more valuable” non -renewable resources, the same animals from the Red Book. To crises to take resources from others (also with guns, money, armies of lawyers) becomes more and more costly, therefore they take away from unrequited and draws, from nature. Therefore, they reached the red-knit, to the trophy, the most hunting. And while we are discussing where, from which cave terrible they take letters for their laws, they probably already threw lots there, to whom to score the first mammoth, which is cloned in Yakutia.

Expert's opinion

Ilya Smelyansky

Siberian Ecological Center:

- I am afraid to comment on this topic: it is very ambiguous. I can only explain what the positions of the parties are based on.

Indeed, the direct standards of the Red Book are not the most suitable place in the hunting legislation, and the amendments entered into force corrected this situation. Now Fedzacon dated 07.24.2009 No. 209-ФЗ “On Hunting and the Save of Hunting Resources ...” contains norms regarding the Red Book, only in connection with hunting resources, and otherwise it refers to the Federal Law of 04.24.1995 No. 52-ФЗ “On the Animal World”, where (article 24) the requirements for the Red Book of the Russian Federation and red books of the subjects of the Russian Federation and the protection of the subjects of the Russian animals introduced in them. However, at the same time streamlining the formal relationships of the two Fedzacons, one inconspicuous substantive change occurred.

In the previous editions of the Federal Law “On Hunting and the Save of Hunting Resources ...” it was indicated (paragraph 4 of Article 11), which in exceptional cases on specific grounds (they are listed in other regulatory documents) are allowed to catch animals (more specifically-mammals and birds, other animals were not said about the Red Book of the Russian Federation and the red books of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. No other form of prey (including shooting or other mining with imprisonment) of such birds and mammals was not allowed. Now the corresponding point from the Federal Law "On Hunting ..." is excluded. Yes, there was the norm that the extraction of “rare and threatened of the disappearance of hunting resources entered into the Red Book of the Russian Federation or red books of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation” is prohibited - but with a reservation that exceptions are possible, and then the procedure provided for by the Law “On the Animal World”. And yes - it is true that such an possibility of extraction in exceptional cases was before. And the truth is that the list of grounds on which red -blown animals can be allowed has not changed - the Ministry of Natural Resources in its explanation quite rightly draws the attention of the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Only one little has changed: to new amendments, the only legal form of production (in exceptional cases!) Red -black species of mammals and birds could only be trapped. Now this clarification has disappeared.

And in the same exceptional cases, on the same list of foundations, any form of production is possible, including, for example, shooting.

And this cannot but bother.

But there is also "on the other hand."

Firstly, in practice, of course, animals listed in the Red Book were killed before. There are situations when there is no other solution (a tiger or a cereal bear, for example, or an animal painfully rabies, or something else). In fact, this was done in violation of the norm of the law. Now it will be possible without a violation.

Secondly, weakening the procedure for obtaining permission did not occur. As before, and now the legitimate production of a red -hot animal is possible only by special permission (issues Rosprirodnadzor). It was just earlier that this “booty” could only be capture, and now shooting, for example. But the type of mining is also determined in permission. If Rosprirodnadzor does not issue permissions for shooting, then the shootings and will not (legal). But it is clear that a rather rich and influential hunter can find ways for obtaining the desired permission in Rosprirodnadzor on plausible grounds.

Although a well -known example with Putoran snow sheep showed that it is not as obvious as it seems. Then, in 2016–2017, Rosprirodnadzor refused to give such permission, and the rams were not shot. But partly, probably, they were probably refused that the law did not allow this. Now allows. And refusing such cases will become more difficult.

But in this topic there may also be tricks that I miss.
