In animal welfare news, new laws to safeguard canine friends are drafted in Moscow, Russia. After working on the matter for seven years, the authorities have released guidelines stating the caregivers’ responsibilities. These include providing food, daily walking, and needed veterinary care to one’s dog companion. Stray canines will be detained, sterilized, and then given for adoption to good homes if possible. Plans have also been outlined to offer a number of bonuses, such as affordable veterinarian fees and informational support to caregivers.

Our sincere appreciation, Russian law-makers, for your dedication to ensuring the welfare of innocent canines. May many precious lives be enhanced by your praiseworthy concern.
