4.5 billion rubles were spent on trapping and sterilization programs during the year, but they do not work in many regions.

As of March, attacks by stray dogs on people were recorded in 24 Russian regions. In the first few months of 2025, more than 30 people, including children, suffered from bites. This suggests that the problem of attacks by stray animals is still relevant.
