The State Duma proposed a 10-fold increase in fines for abandoned pets. Leaving a pet on the street can be much more expensive. The State Duma proposed to increase the fines for abandoned pets: instead of the current 1.5-3 thousand rubles, they want to allocate citizens up to 30 thousand. For officials, the maximum fine can be 100 thousand rubles, and for organizations and companies, legal entities, up to 300 thousand. The authors of the initiative believe that the current amounts do not prevent people from giving up their pets. It is proposed to send the collected fines to the regional budgets to compensate for the costs of keeping stray animals.
