A bit about absurd prohibitions.
Wild animals in Russia die without permission and without control wherever necessary. No certificates, approvals or fines. It is of course outrageous, it should be banned and regulated, but the hands of officials have not reached them yet.
A domestic cat is deprived of such freedom. If you bury him at the dacha, the owner faces a fine of 4 to 5 thousand rubles. You can't throw it away either.
The legal way is to contact a veterinary clinic or a cremation service.
In Moscow, exhuming a body costs about 2,000 rubles within the Moscow Ring Road, cremating a cat costs 2-4.5 thousand, with repatriation of ashes starting at 4,000. For a large dog - up to 30 thousand.
But this is Moscow. There are almost no crematoria anywhere in the regions; Official pet cemeteries are mainly located near Moscow and St. Petersburg. Throughout the country, spontaneous cemeteries are inspected by the attorney's office and the mayor. The battle continues.
At the same time, in Finland, Germany and Great Britain, and almost everywhere in the world, cats are buried in their gardens undisturbed.
But not with us. For the Ministry of Agriculture, a dead cat, dead chicken and plucked duck feathers are biological waste. And recycling biological waste is a serious matter. Once you've harvested your home-grown chicken, you enter into a complex relationship regulated by law with the state.
If you are confused by the complexity of the procedure, there is also a way out: a dead cat can be legally stored in the freezer. But no more than a year and at a temperature no higher than minus 18 degrees.
The rules are the same for the whole country, from Kaliningrad to Chukotka. A resident of the village of Yakut, from where the crematorium can only be reached by helicopter and even then not always, is required to dispose of a fallen sled dog according to the same rules as a cat owner in Moscow.
An exception was made for reindeer in the tundra: they were allowed to burn in a pit. But do not relax, this is only allowed in the presence of a state veterinarian. You can't live without it. But there is freedom of choice. The law requires that every dead deer be taken to a veterinarian or every dead deer be taken to a veterinarian. in a helicopter
