Often cast in the implementation of the animals are simply a commodity for dealers even neoduhotvorennym. This product is subject to sale, so important in this business like any other - money. But anyone who has ever rented kittens in the alley of the main market knows that a head must pay the seller for at least 20 hryvnia - to eat. The average cat litter - 4 kittens, then you pay a one-time minimum of 80 hryvnia. All money bailed full circle.

You may ask what is the fate of these small animals? It is here that begins the worst band in their life that you are "humanely," he prepared.

 Shelf Life - 3 days

These people are easy to recognize: they are daily in the alley with the Central Market playpen filled with variegated and different age kittens and puppies, obviously from different litters. In the cold and snow, heat and rain, these kids work for their masters.

Swarmed on the old rag, interspersed sick and healthy, this product has a tentative shelf life - 3 days. If during this time no one bought a kitten or a puppy, most likely he will go to the expense, either to die of itself caught by infection, or it will crush the more powerful individuals, but rather, fragile body can not cope with famine, and weather conditions. Yes, you are still naive to think that your money is spent on food pets? Not so! Diced, like pigeons, a slice of bread - it's the best they can count on little cats and dogs.

At the end of the working day Cardboard boxes are filled to capacity and squeaking human beings belong to the nearest garage and warehouse for the night. Morning audit will show who is destined to work at his tormentor, and who have run its course prematurely. Corpses of dead animals and those who are already very bad, go into a plastic bag and close bins, where the kids are still living in terrible agony spend the last hours of his short life ...

How much is a bucket of kittens?

In addition to such a sadistic way of making money, there are several more not less cruel alternatives. Almost every hand dealers have their regular customers, who buy goods in bulk live, as some of them are joking "in a bucket." And it is, unfortunately, is not that good uncle buys them from slavery, treats and releases into the wild. One category of such buyers acquire small kittens and puppies for fighting dogs pritravki and hunting dogs, so they live taste of blood. Torn corpses of animals can be found at any landing, where do with their pets, dog owners. One of my friends was lucky to find among the remains and to save the puppy was still alive ...

Other "fans" buy squeaking change in feed exotic animals, boas, crocodiles, nutria. And cheaper than the same laboratory mice and rats ...

 

Everyone knows, but everyone is silent

When I started to develop this theme, we wondered general awareness of people. Almost every respondent was able to complete the picture horrible details. This raises the legitimate question: why, then, in Lugansk continues this cruel trade? Where to watch the power, "green", animal welfare advocates, the police, in the end? Or that horrible business is profitable to someone else, except the dealers? Unwinding this tangle, it became clear that nobody in town does not want to be responsible for "dog" alley next to the Central Market. That is at the heart of Lugansk and chaos going on before anybody cares!

Here's what to answer the question of trade in this place the chief of the consumer market and services of Lugansk city council Yuri Ryaplov: "Trading in the alley near the Central Market is not authorized. The City Council has instructed the police to release the area and drive trade. All claims for them and their work. In general, where they trade? Place in our town by the "bird market" is not, and this issue had never been. And that there is a need? ".

Hopefully, Yuri Mikhailovich, that after this publication, you have something moves off the ground: it may be, at least personally check the fulfillment of your orders, or remind them of their responsibilities to the police!

By the way, this is the case with the police is even more puzzling - just murky mystery. For the week of training materials, contact and get an explanation from the representatives of law enforcement proved to be not easy. Chief of Police Department, located at the Central Market, Valery Lipetsk refused to comment on anything without the permission of his superiors, and then do remember that it was not his territory. Local policeman serving this area in the Leninsky district, Oleg Garmash, complained that he had too much work front and to the whole are not reached. "I'm generally not been a month, the session was studied. Only days ago to work out, - said the policeman. - Earlier I was a few minutes, then transfer them to court. Than it was over, and punished if guilty - I do not know. In order to dispel this alley to a written order to the district department head or higher authority, the allocation of people, services, PPP. Well this is every day to go and do, to make the effect "- quite rightly said the policeman.

 

None of my business

A walk and engage in necessary. If not for the sake of innocent animals, at least for the health of these same people. After all, those who illegally selling human beings do not have any documents about the health of cats and dogs, and about vaccinations in general can not be considered. It is a vicious circle: there is no place for trade, like as not, and the animals themselves. But they do exist! And there is no guarantee that they will not suffer any distemper, or worse interitom rabies.

Trying to figure out who all the same "extreme" in general has got nowhere. Chief State Inspector of Veterinary Medicine in Lugansk Michael Pereplyotchikov completely "disown" of this problem: "Trade should not be there. Local authorities are obliged to organize and make room for a niche market. My people will only serve the market for 3-kilometer, selling farm animals "- clearly stated bookbinder.

However, staff of veterinary police do not share this position. Veterinary inspector of police to conduct quarantine veterinary activities of AMIA Vitaly Szeged insists that it is primarily for control of veterinary medicine.

"These animals are sold without veterinary supporting documents without a veterinary certificate form number 1, which would confirm that the animal is not sick and left the territory, safe in the epizootic of (state incidence of infectious animal diseases in a specific area at a given time interval), then there is no overlap in the area quarantined for rabies or other diseases. I can say that just a month ago, so rabies quarantine was imposed on the territory of Malaya Vergunki, where it was impossible to remove the animals, let alone sell them, - said the inspector. - That's why Pereplyotchikov and duty to monitor the situation in the city to prevent the emergence, spread and infect people as the most dangerous diseases such as rabies. "

 

Solving the problem

With his hand veterinary police believes that the only true solution is to allocate the site for the authorized trade in pets in any of the markets. Then people will have a permanent place, and they will be able to lawfully compliance with all standards do have legal business.

At the moment, veterinary police can not even write a report and penalty at the maximum amount of 8.50 hryvnia (!), And the local policeman has the right fined up to 250 hryvnia per trade in the wrong place. But before the official cause of punishment, usually comes very rarely, and feed store, confiscated animals have nowhere and nothing to ...

As for the "free" kittens, there is only one solution: make sure in advance that, so that your pet was not unplanned offspring. Castration or neutering the animal, contrary to popular opinion, absolutely no effect on his health, and the best solves the problem of homeless dogs and cats suffering of innocent children, and you conscience.

 

Viewpoint: Neither the means nor the desire to

In Lugansk, only 3 months ago registered the first and only charity for homeless animals, "Give me a paw." Secretary for Public Relations and Irina Mitskaya representative of the fund Anna Streltsov outraged current situation in the city.

- This alley and all that therein is happening on everyone's lips. Our foundation began a kind of protest. We stick and hand out leaflets asking people not to give up their animals into the hands of middlemen, and to try to attach themselves kitten or puppy is in good hands. But the most important preventive measure is, of course, is sterilization, and what we're trying to convey to all animal lovers.

Perhaps many luganchane do not know that our city is engaged in the problem of stray animals, only one organization - the "Luganskservis" - which, unfortunately, is designed only to destroy stray dogs, but far from humane ways. About to redirect the money transferred to kill the animal (and it is 70 hryvnia for one dog) in its capture, sterilization and vaccinations at the city hall and do not want to hear. They say - are not supposed to, and frankly, it's a good feeder. And do something to help us identify at least a place to build a shelter and a nursery for homeless animals - as always, no money. It is clear, humanity - something expensive ...
