The Russian government has supported the idea of confiscating animals for abuse

The Russian government has approved a bill on the confiscation of pets in cases of complaints of mistreatment by their owners. This was reported by Kommersant on February 3.

It is noted that the relevant initiative was proposed back in May 2025. She proposed amendments to the law "On Responsible treatment of animals."

According to the document, a "response system" based on the 112 service will monitor this. The confiscated animals are going to be placed in shelters.
