Order of June 27, 2025 No. 1706-r
We are talking about improving regulatory frameworks in the area of animal welfare.
In particular, the plan envisages the development and submission to the Government of a number of draft federal laws. They will provide for the regulation of activities related to the maintenance and breeding of domestic and wild animals, the introduction of a system for responding to citizens’ requests about animals causing harm to life and health or the threat of causing it, mechanisms for stimulating voluntary sterilization, vaccination and marking by owners of their domestic animals.
In addition, the draft federal laws will concern the specifics of ownership and disposal of stray animals by organizations and municipalities, including issues of their transfer to new owners, the procedure for transferring animals to shelters when it is impossible to keep them any longer, and in the case of improper treatment of animals, their removal from owners and placement in shelters.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will work on the development of the draft laws together with the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Digital Development, and Rosprirodnadzor. The deadline for implementing this work is July 2025 – May 2026.
