In social networks, the girl's mother said that the animals bit her arms, legs and back.
- An attack on children by dogs is a blatant and unacceptable case. Unfortunately, today there are no effective mechanisms for the removal of neglected animals from the streets, - Anatoly Baikarov stated. - Even after trapping, sterilization and chipping, dogs, according to the current legislation, must be returned to their former habitat. And again they can behave aggressively. Dogs can protect offspring, the territory that they consider their own. Feeding, which some citizens do regularly, provokes animals to protect the area where they live.
The official noted that the municipality has no leverage to change the situation. Within the framework of the authorities, it is only possible to catch and chip dogs with their subsequent release back to the city.
- In the case of aggressive behavior of the dog, her illness with rabies, she can be euthanized. The conclusion is given by veterinarians. At present, all caught on the street. Bebel's dogs are in a shelter, - said Baikarov.
He assured that work to identify the habitats of aggressive flocks is carried out regularly. To identify such outbreaks near children's institutions, it is also planned to involve school directors and kindergarteners.
