In Ivanovo businessman fined for organizing an exhibition of animals without a license

In August, inspectors of the Rosselkhoznadzor Department for the Kostroma and Ivanovo regions conducted an unscheduled inspection in one of the Ivanovo shopping centers.

The subject of the test was a temporary exhibition of exotic animals, which featured rabbits, raccoons, monkeys, parrots and other species of fauna.

During the control and supervisory measures, specialists identified a number of gross violations of the veterinary legislation of the Russian Federation. This is the absence of a mandatory license for the use of animals for cultural and entertainment purposes, exceeding the permissible duration of the event (the exhibition lasted more than four days). The lack of documents confirming the quality and safety of animal feed was also revealed.

The department says about the violation of the rules of detention: the absence of protective barriers between visitors and enclosures, which allowed guests to feed animals uncontrollably.

According to the results of the inspection, an administrative offence case was initiated against an individual entrepreneur. The materials were sent to the court, which imposed a fine on the organizer.
