United Kingdom
Many people will now want to get the status of British pets. The British Parliament has granted the rights and freedoms of the inhabitants of the British Isles to 7 million dogs, 8 million cats and cats, 650 thousand horses, 2 million rabbits and non-countable poultry. The law provides for stricter liability of animal owners for breaking the law: from large fines to imprisonment.
In the UK until 1987, compulsory registration of domestic dogs was valid, which cost 37 pence. The money went to the needs of local authorities. In the absence of a license, the police had every right to take the animal to the kennel or destroy it if the dog is aggressive. However, this measure was not very successful. According to official UK data, approximately half of the owners did not register their dogs. After the abolition of compulsory registration, the British Parliament adopted a number of laws and regulations that governed the actions of local authorities and the police. The Clean Environment and Environment Act, passed in April 2008, excluded the fight against homeless animals from the duties of the police and transferred them completely to the administrative authorities.
If a stray dog appears in the city, either special municipal services or private organizations that cooperate with the administration come for her. They wait for six to seven days to see if there is a master of the lost animal. If this does not happen, the dog is sent to special kennels. Dogs stay there until they are taken. The euthanasia of dogs in kennels is not practiced.
