The State Duma in early 2017 will develop a regulatory framework for contact zoos. This site was announced by the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Ecology and Protection environment Kirill Cherkasov.

"It is necessary to develop a regulation that will determine which animals can be kept in petting zoos and which ones are not. Now these standards are not spelled out. We are discussing this issue with veterinarians and experts. Such zoos should be guided by uniform standards," Cherkasov said.

According to him, when developing the regulation, it is necessary to take into account the climatic features of the regions: for example, in Yakutia it will not be possible to keep lizards and parrots, and in the southern regions - animals with dense wool. This requirement will not only protect animals, but also teach children right attitude to them.

"In petting zoos, animals tamed by humans should be kept: cats, dogs, kids, rabbits and bunnies. Animals dangerous to children should not be placed there," Cherkasov said.

The regulation may also prescribe that zoo employees will have to be near the animals and monitor what is happening. "It often happens that there is no one on the territory of the petting zoo next to the animals. As a rule, this is explained as follows: we work for free, we cannot afford the allocation of an individual employee. But free of charge should not affect safety ..

At the moment, experts are preparing their proposals, after which the State Duma committee will discuss them and amend the legislation. Then the Ministry of Natural Resources will have to issue a regulation.

"I hope that immediately after the New Year we will already have a working document, which we will already submit for discussion in the committee," Cherkasov concluded.

Petting zoos, unlike conventional zoos, do not restrict human-animal communication. This is an area in which animals walk without cages or with minor fences. You can approach the animals, stroke and feed them. One of the goals of creating such zoos is to introduce children to the world of animals. The activity of contact zoos is currently not regulated by law. Sometimes they meet exotic animals that can attack visitors. In addition, animals are periodically kept in cruel conditions.

Today in Russia there is no uniform legislation on animals. In Moscow and a number of other large cities, there are temporary rules for keeping pets. For cruelty to animals in the country, a fine of up to eighty thousand rubles is provided, and the maximum punishment under this article is six months of arrest.

Trade in exotic animals is regulated by the provisions of the "Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora" (CITES). The Convention prohibits the sale of animals listed in the Red Book. The document is aimed only at protecting rare species from extinction in wild nature, the convention does not apply to animals born in captivity. However, the owner of an exotic animal must have documents on importation or purchase in the country, a certificate from a veterinarian and a registration certificate.

Kirill Goryachev, vice-president of the Moscow Society for the Protection of Animals, believes that petting zoos injure animals. According to him, it is necessary to contact with domestic animals at home, and contact with wild animals should be limited.

"Wild animals require appropriate care, and their nature does not imply human contact. It is unnatural for them. First you need to adjust common law about the treatment of animals, and then engage in petting zoos,” the expert noted. In such zoos, only farm animals that are closer to humans, such as goats or sheep, can be kept.

Director of the Moscow contact zoo "Forest Embassy" Maria Stromnova supported the regulation of zoos in federal law.

“There have been talks about such a law for a long time. At the same time, we at the Forest Embassy comply with even stricter internal corporate standards than what deputies and the public propose. All regions have different requirements of regulatory authorities. It would be much more convenient for contact zoos if the rules were the same across the country," she said.

The position should be written so that the management of petting zoos monitors the characters and behavior of animals, Stromnova added. “There are, for example, very aggressive monkeys. There are many cute-looking animals that are unpredictable in behavior. The same squirrels: one communicates with you, climbs on your hands and asks for nuts, the second shies away from you,” the director noted.

The bill regulating the activities of contact zoos was also planned to be developed in the Moscow City Duma. The deputies proposed to ban the work of petting zoos. The draft law will also include fines for violating the rules for keeping animals in such zoos and causing harm to them.

In addition, the Moscow City Council is preparing a bill on wild animals in the apartments of Muscovites. All exotic animals will be divided into groups. Some will be allowed to be kept at home, while the rest will be required to be returned to their natural environment or transported to a petting zoo.

Russians for a ban on "contact" zoos

While many people in the world today are concerned about preserving the planet and educating the younger generation in the spirit of careful attitude to nature and animals, commercial entertainment, monstrous in its cruelty, is gaining momentum in Russia - the so-called "contact", "feeling" or "touching" zoos, where tens (hundreds) of people for a fee can feel animals that do not have the opportunity to hide from them.

Establishments of this kind absolutely illegal, their activity is a gross violation of the veterinary and sanitary standards for the maintenance of animals and the current in the country legal framework activities of zoos (Safety regulations and industrial sanitation for zoos (zoos): (approved by the USSR Ministry of Culture on July 25, 1973). This criminal and dangerous business for human health has become widespread due to two reasons:
1. non-fulfillment by officials of profile structures of their official duties and
2. ignorance and / or indifference of the civilian population of Russia.

The greed of the devoid of conscience and moral principles merchants, with the support of corrupt officials, made it possible to turn living, sentient beings into inanimate toys, which, against their will, can be squeezed all day long, picked up, chased around the cage, constantly awakened during sleep, and even carried by order of wealthy clients to noisy holidays and festivities. One of the large networks of "contact" zoos is called - "Small animals like toys".

It would seem that in the progressive society of the 21st century, such a low-grade phenomenon should be considered absolute savagery: the Chinese execution with sleep deprivation causes shock to modern man, pedagogical schools teach parents to severely suppress the child's attempts to disturb animals just because they wanted to play, explaining to children that a consumerist, soulless attitude towards living beings is unacceptable. Nevertheless, the animal rights business continues to thrive and introduce into circulation even rare, endangered animals on the planet. Yes, in the mall "Key" among the "exhibits" of the "palpable" zoo was a fur seal, listed in the International Red Book and the Red Book of Russia. According to the law, for improper use of the Red Book species, merchants must receive 7 years in prison under Art. 258.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, but so far - no matter how insane it may seem - they are presenting the media with the results of an inspection carried out a month ago by the relevant departments, which considered this state of affairs to be normal (!).

Meanwhile, the flow of complaints to animal protection organizations about "contact" zoos is increasing day by day as they grow nationwide. The facts indicated in the statements testify to the blatant immorality of this phenomenon, dooming thousands of animals across the country to daily torment. Animals given to be torn to pieces by the crowd are crushed with their feet, dropped repeatedly, beating internal organs, suffocate, break wings, throw them into neighboring enclosures. Tiny cages in which animals are located are usually located in shopping centers. Lack of exercise, concrete / linoleum floor, stuffiness, bright artificial light, terrible noise from the flow of visitors during the 11 hours of the institution's operation makes the animals under constant stress. Exceptions are not made for anyone: all day long you can feel snowy owls, hedgehogs, and thick-tailed galagos - animals that lead a nocturnal lifestyle and hide in daytime in shelters. Particularly deplorable is the fate of newborn chickens, ducklings and goslings, which are regularly brought up to be squeezed by children as disposable objects. There are frequent cases of aggression on the part of animals distraught from the onslaught of visitors: they can bite, hit with horns, like ungulates, or with a powerful beak, like ostriches. Visitors also run the risk of receiving accidental bites while feeding animals - an additional paid service provided in all institutions of this kind.

Visitors to "contact" zoos enter the animal enclosures with unwashed hands, feed and stroke them in outerwear, bringing and taking with them myriads of pathogenic organisms, which, after dozens of hands, remain in the mouth and on the animal's fur, in the litter. The immune system of an animal, deprived of exercise and normal life, is already malfunctioning; and with such a colossal load on it, the animal is constantly sick and becomes a "hotbed" of diseases for children.

Animals from different climatic zones become prisoners of petting zoos, requiring completely different temperature conditions, lighting, humidity and other conditions that simply cannot be satisfied in the halls shopping centers.

Hiding behind the idea of ​​a “social project”, the owners of “palpable” zoos, meanwhile, have very decent incomes: for example, the annual turnover of one of the companies is 28 million rubles a year, a newly opened point in a shopping center pays off in 3 months.

The argument that in the "contact" zoo children join nature in urban conditions does not stand up to scrutiny. Initiation to nature is an interaction with it in vivo. For example, feeding birds or watching insects, which is available even in an urban environment. A child will truly fall in love with nature if he is imbued with the beauty, originality and inner value of our fellow planets around us in everyday life.

Would any of the people want to spend their whole lives in captivity, being squeezed from morning to night by creatures foreign to him? Not? We don't want that either! And we do not want this to be done with other living beings who, like us, have the right to life and protection from suffering.

We ask you to stop the activities of illegal, anti-pedagogical, dangerous for people and cruel to animals establishments throughout the country - "contact" zoos.

We also ask to dismiss from their posts officials of profile structures who committed lawlessness and thereby dealt a powerful blow to the principles of moral education of an entire generation.
