Court orders Muscovite to evict horse and dozen dogs from his country house
The Savyolovsky Court of Moscow has ordered a Muscovite to evict a horse and 12 dogs from his property in a TSN, RIA Novosti reports, citing the court's decision. This is because neighbors complained about him.
According to the case materials, the defendant lives in a TSN in the Vladimir region. The land he owns is used for gardening. But neighbors began to complain that a horse and more than 10 dogs live on the property.
At the same time, the animals periodically leave the human territory and frighten passers-by, including small children, with their barking. In addition, excrement from the defendant's room was not disposed of properly, which created an unpleasant smell on his territory. In the summer, there are many flies and rodents. The lawsuit says that the barking of dogs also disturbs the silence at night.
At the same time, the defendant was unable to provide the contract of sale of the animal and the veterinary passport as requested by the court. As a result, the authorities satisfied the claims of the TSN management.
The court decision states: “The defendant is obligated to cease the improper use of the land and transfer the animals located on it to a specialized shelter.”
The Moscow City Court expressed its agreement with the decision, which has already entered into legal force.
Earlier, a Moscow court banned pensioner Valery Anikeyev, who lives on Novobutovskaya Street in southern Butovo, from keeping goats. The ban will remain in effect until all hygiene requirements are met and the animals remain with their owners.
Butovo goats were in the spotlight at the end of 2021. Eyewitnesses published footage of the animals walking through residential buildings and city streets, without complaining about the goats until they began attacking cars.
In August 2024, the Moscow Veterinary Committee filed a lawsuit against goat owners demanding a ban on goat grazing. The basis for this was numerous complaints from local residents that the "pets" were eating up yards, trampling cars and breaking into stores. Moreover, they say that the streets were covered in manure because the owners did not take care of it.
Anikeyev himself said that veterinary medicine has no right to sue him, since the number of goats he keeps does not exceed the permissible norms. He said that he has from 13 to 14 animals, which exceeds the maximum permissible number of 20.
