The court recovered from the administration of Uzlova 20 thousand after the attack of the dog on the girl
In the district administration ordered to pay 20 thousand rubles for the bite of a homeless dog that attacked a minor girl
The district administration was ordered to pay 20 thousand rubles for the bite of a homeless dog that attacked a minor girl. With a claim for compensation for moral damage, the prosecutor who defended the interests of the child appealed to the court, told “MK in Tula” in the joint press service of the courts and the regional DSA.
The incident occurred on the evening of July 15, 2026 near the house No. 6 on Suvorov Street. A dog ran up to a passing girl without a collar and chip. The animal bit the baby on the leg and then grabbed her trousers with her teeth.
After the incident, the girl and her mother sought medical help. Doctors found a wound on her right thigh and an abrasion in the right knee. In addition, the court found that the injuries caused the child physical and moral suffering.
When considering the case, it turned out that the administration of the Uzlovsky district did not ensure proper organization of work on the treatment of animals without owners on its territory.
On November 10, 2026, the court partially satisfied the prosecutor’s claim. The administration recovered 20 thousand rubles as compensation for moral damage in favor of the legal representative of the girl. Initially, the Prosecutor’s office demanded to pay 80 thousand rubles.
The decision has not yet entered into force and can be appealed.
Recall that some time ago, “MK in Tula” talked about the rules of protection against rabies, which can be infected after a bite of an animal or getting its saliva on damaged skin.
Among the main vectors of infection are stray dogs and cats, foxes, raccoons and bats.
Experts recommend that tulas do not come into contact with unfamiliar animals, do not try to pet or feed them. It is important to explain to children why you should not approach street dogs and cats.
If you bite or scratch, you should immediately wash the damaged area with soap and water for 10-15 minutes, treat with an antiseptic and seek medical help. Pets should be vaccinated annually against rabies.
