According to participants, two months after the previous similar protest, no concrete steps have been taken by the authorities.
According to the data provided, the number of cases of animal cruelty doubled in the first half of this year alone. The mass poisoning of stray dogs and cats continues in towns and villages, whilst the majority of such offences remain uninvestigated.
In light of this, the protesters put forward a number of demands to the Cabinet, including the establishment of a national department for the protection and management of animal populations to develop and coordinate a unified state policy.
Animal rights activists are also insisting on tougher penalties for cruelty and poaching, ensuring the effective work of the police and the public prosecutor’s office on such cases, the introduction of compulsory neutering of mixed-breed animals, and the establishment of genuine cooperation between the authorities, relevant organisations and volunteers.
The community emphasises that without the implementation of these systemic measures, the problem will continue to worsen.
