Lawyer explains why burying a pet in the yard or at a dacha risks a fine of up to 5,000 rubles
Burying a pet in the ground at a dacha, in the yard or in the forest is considered a violation of veterinary and sanitary rules: pet remains are classified as biological waste under the law 'On Veterinary Medicine'. Lawyer Yaroslav Ostapenko told Abzats that the fine under Part 3 of Article 10.8 of the Administrative Offenses Code is 4,000–5,000 rubles, and throwing the body into a garbage container is also prohibited.
