In Komi, from January to September 2026, 1,133 dog attacks on people were recorded. Among the victims are children and teenagers, which is of particular concern to the local authorities. The regional veterinary service admitted that the current "catch-sterilize-return" method does not bring the expected results. Neutered dogs continue to stay outside and exhibit aggressive behavior. The head of the service, Andrey Blich, pointed out that the method does not always reduce the risks of aggression, and in some cases it may even make the situation worse. This problem requires attention and the search for effective solutions to ensure the safety of the population.
