About the use of the drug "Adilin"
Adilin belongs to the “muscle relaxants” group of drugs, the mechanism of action of which in small doses is a reversible short-term immobilization of the body due to a depolarization disorder in the transmission of excitation from the motor nerves to the muscle fibers of skeletal muscles. Muscle relaxants are widely used both in veterinary practice (Rompun, Rometar, etc.) and in medical practice (Ditilin, Listenone, etc.) - for immobilization of patients, regulated in depth and duration, during diagnostic and medical procedures causing a defensive reaction (insertion of probes, reduction of dislocations; restoration of the relative position of bone fragments and others surgical operations). Unlike narcotic drugs, depolarizing muscle relaxants do not cause side effects, since in the process of their metabolism non-toxic products are formed, which are already constantly present in the body - choline and succinic acid. The drug has an effect only when administered parenterally (not through the digestive tract).
When high doses of the drug are used, it causes the death of the body, and it has been established that bioelectrical activity brain declines before cardiac activity stops, which is the direct cause of death of the body, occurring 15...60 seconds after administration of the recommended regulatory framework Russian Federation lethal dose of the drug. Paralysis of the respiratory muscles against the background of cardiac arrest practically no longer plays any pathogenetic role. Thus, we can confidently say that the moment of death comes unnoticed by the brain.
The above was the basis for recommending Adilin as a humane means for the bloodless slaughter of animals. However, with such slaughter, the carcass is not bled and the sanitary standards in force in Russia do not allow the use of the drug for slaughtering animals for meat used for human consumption, therefore, according to the regulatory framework of the Russian Federation, the drug is intended for the slaughter of only fur-bearing animals, dogs and cats ("Temporary Instruction" on the use of Adilin-super for the slaughter of fur-bearing animals, cats and dogs" approved by the Main Directorate of Veterinary Medicine with the State Veterinary Inspectorate on April 24, 1991 - copy attached), as well as for forced slaughter, with subsequent destruction or disposal of corpses, large cattle, pigs, sheep, rabbits, deer and poultry("Instructions for the use of Adilin for bloodless slaughter of animals"; approved by the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance in 2008; registration No. PVR-2-7.7/02169 - copy attached).
The above gives us grounds to respond to the essence of your request: the use of pharmacological agents “Adilin”, “Adilin-super” and other xylazine-containing drugs for slaughter of animals is not inhumane, since it does not cause suffering to the animal. Their use for catching and euthanizing stray animals does not contradict regulatory framework RF, since the above-mentioned normative legal acts it is prescribed.

The Verkh-Isetsky District Court of Yekaterinburg considered the claim of the prosecutor of the Verkh-Isetsky district to recognize the illegal activities of the EMUP "Spetsavtobaza" in the use of medicinal product"Adilin-super" and its analogues for catching stray animals.
The basis for the prosecutor's filing of this claim with the court was the results of an inspection carried out at the request of the management of the Charitable Fund for Helping Homeless Animals. During the inspection, it was established that the killing of stray animals (in particular, dogs) is carried out by specially created teams (catchers) using the drug “Adilin-super”, as a result of which the animal dies a painful death from suffocation, which is extremely inhumane.
In addition, when carrying out activities to catch stray dogs, the enterprise EMUP "Spetsavtobaza" does not comply with the established rules for catching stray animals, since before destruction the dogs are not placed in a shelter, through which they could subsequently be returned to their lost owners.
Based on the results of the inspection, the prosecutor filed a lawsuit to recognize the illegal activities of EMUP "Spetsavtobaza" in the use of the drug "Adilin-super" and its analogues and to oblige the enterprise to create a shelter for captured stray and stray animals. The prosecutor's claims were satisfied by the court.

Adilin-super and its analogues: ditilin, listenone:
- curare-like substances (curare poison is used by aboriginal Indian tribes of Latin America to brutally kill animals during hunting - arrows poisoned with poison are used);
- widely and universally used local authorities cities in Russia to catch and kill stray animals (catchers use blowpipes or guns that shoot syringes);
- also used on fur farms as a supposedly humane killing of animals doomed to die for fur;
- It is also widely used in veterinary practice (both public clinics and private) for supposedly humane killing;
- causes a slow, painful death as a result of gradual paralysis of the respiratory muscles. those. the animal, being fully conscious, dies for a long time and extremely painfully, but outwardly it looks like falling asleep, which misleads inexperienced eyewitnesses, for example, animal owners who naively believe that they are alleviating the suffering of their terminally ill pet - a dog or cat;
- used in medicine and veterinary medicine for a number of diseases, but with mandatory ventilation
- in civilized countries, the use of curare-like drugs for killing animals is prohibited and criminalized;
- being potent drugs, they are used by catchers of stray animals - people of an openly marginal, carnivorous type, which poses a mortal danger not only for animals (catchers do not know who to shoot), but also for the health and life of people around them (tragic cases are known) . By a strange logic, they were ignored by the Drug Control Service (FSKN of Russia), which from the beginning was engaged in a fruitless hunt for ketamine “witches”, depriving Russian animals of pain relief during surgical operations, i.e. doomed animals to torture, and also subjected veterinarians who honestly performed their medical duty to absurd repressions
- All over the world, barbiturates are used to euthanize animals for veterinary indications, which turn off the animal’s consciousness and put it into deep sleep.
Case No. 2-250/12
SOLUTION
IN THE NAME OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
The Kirovsky District Court of Saratov, having considered in open court a civil case based on Semyk’s application to the Municipal Unitary Enterprise of Household Utilities “S.”; a third party who does not make independent claims regarding the subject of the dispute - the Administration of the Municipal Entity "..." for the prevention of harm,
u st a n o v i l:
Semyk appealed to the Kirovsky District Court with the above-mentioned claim, in support of which she indicated that, as she learned from the response of the acting. Chairman of the Committee on Housing and Communal Services of the Administration of the Moscow Region, according to the agreement concluded between this committee and the defendant on the execution of a municipal order for the provision of services for the capture, transportation, sterilization, maintenance of stray animals (dogs), the defendant, during the validity of the contract, caught stray animals for several months, kept them from 4 to 10 days, sterilized, and then released back to the place of capture. This information is confirmed by the results of an inspection of the defendant by the Saratov Interdistrict Environmental Prosecutor's Office, which established that due to the lack of equipped facilities for keeping animals after sterilization, dogs were released into external environment dwellings on the same day or kept in cages for several days. This is indicated in a letter from the head of the department for supervision of the implementation of laws on nature of the Volga Interregional Environmental Prosecutor's Office. In addition, from the article “Constellation of Mythical Dogs” in the newspaper “Moskovsky Komsomolets in Saratov”, the plaintiff learned that in parallel with these actions, the municipal unitary enterprise “S.”, according to the head of the veterinary service of this organization, Lyudmila Aksenevich, was and is catching stray animals in on a commercial basis. At the same time, all animals are killed without any temporary maintenance, and their corpses are disposed of in the Beccari pit. Thus, during the year alone, the Municipal Unitary Enterprise “S.”, according to Aksenevich, killed at least 1,086 stray dogs without keeping them after capture, and without vaccination against rabies. Later, Semyk became convinced that the defendant actually kills and disposes of captured animals when one of the citizens provided her with copies of the agreement between the defendant and the administration of ZATO Svetly and the act of work performed to catch and dispose of dogs under this agreement, certified by a specialist from the administration of CATO Svetly. Also, from a letter from the head of the department for supervision over the implementation of laws on nature of the Volga Interregional Environmental Prosecutor's Office P.D.S., the plaintiff learned that an audit conducted by the Saratov Interregional Environmental Prosecutor's Office established that the defendant provides services for catching and killing dogs that do not have an owner, according to applications of citizens and organizations at their expense, using the drugs “Adilin” and “Adilin-super” for killing. The defendant's charter states that this enterprise operates in accordance with current legislation. Federal legislation obliges organizations engaged in the capture (detention) of stray animals to keep each of the captured animals for at least 6 months in a specialized nursery, to vaccinate all captured animals against rabies (in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 1.2 and 9.5 of the sanitary rules SP 3... -10 “Prevention of Rabies among people", approved by the resolution of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation and Articles 230-231 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. When catching stray animals, the defendant violates the specified norms of federal legislation: he illegally kills animals before acquiring ownership rights to them, does not ensure the maintenance of captured animals in a special nursery in for at least 6 months, have them vaccinated against rabies. The defendant’s violation of clause 9.5 of the Sanitary Rules by not vaccinating captured (detained) stray animals against rabies and not keeping them in a specialized nursery for at least 6 months, and releasing them without vaccination back onto the city streets creates a danger of harm to the plaintiff’s health by increasing the risk of infection with a dangerous zooanthroponotic disease - rabies, creates a threat of violation of Semyk’s constitutional rights to health and a favorable environment. Also creating a threat of harm to the health of the plaintiff are the illegal actions of the defendant in killing stray animals that are caught, because Semyk can at any time of the day become an accidental witness to the killing of stray animals by the defendant. For her, an impressionable, compassionate person, the experiences caused by such a cruel spectacle can provoke stress, severe depression, sleep disturbances, exacerbation chronic diseases, heart attack, stomach ulcers, stroke and other health disorders varying degrees gravity. It is impossible to predict in advance what exactly these disorders may be. Also, the illegal actions of the defendant in killing stray animals that are caught create a threat of harm to the plaintiff’s health also due to the fact that the animals are killed using a blowgun that shoots “flying syringes” (“darts”) filled with the drug “Adilin-super” (aka “Adilin "). According to the attached explanation of the director of LLC "V.", the developer of "Adilina-super" (aka "Adilin"), Professor G.R.D., after the injection of "Adilina-super" (aka "Adilin"), in accordance with instructions for this drug, it is necessary to inject an antidote (“Antidote - antidote - medicine for the treatment of poisoning." Thus, the developer of this drug himself confirms its toxicity, danger to health and even life in the scientific sense. He also points out this in the drug passport (attached), where it is written that the lethality of the outcome when using “Adilin-super” (aka “Adilin”) ranges from 15-60 seconds. up to 5-10 min. Although “Adilin-super” was re-registered with the Rosselkhoznadzor of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation and received a new abbreviated name “Adilin” and a new certificate of state registration , it is necessary to take into account that this drug, according to a letter from the Deputy Director of the Department of Industry Development of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia V.A. Apalkin, is intended for use as a mass bloodless slaughter of animals and poultry in areas where particularly dangerous diseases of animals and birds occur; for any other purposes this the drug is not recommended. According to the attached expert opinion of the Federal State Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "Ural State Agricultural Academy", the drug "Adilin-super" belongs to the group of muscle relaxants. This drug must be administered by a specially trained veterinarian in a specially designated area with restricted access to unauthorized persons. In this case, the administration of Adilin without prior anesthesia leads to painful death from suffocation, without loss of consciousness. The effect is similar and if the drug enters the human body, urgent medical care is required, without which respiratory arrest may occur and death may occur. Thus, the actions of the defendant in killing stray animals using “flying syringes” fired from a “blow gun” (hollow tube) filled with the drug “Adilin-super” (aka “Adilin”) create a threat of harm to Semyk’s health and a threat to her life, with a possible accidental hit of such a “flying syringe”. The plaintiff is the owner of a dog and periodically walks it on the territory where the defendant carries out its activities to catch stray animals. A dog being walked by Semyk may accidentally get lost and be caught and killed by the defendant earlier than 6 months after its capture, provided by law so that the plaintiff, as the owner, can find and return the lost animal detained by a specialized organization. That is, the defendant’s failure to comply with the statutory deadlines for keeping captured animals creates a danger of causing significant harm to her (the death of the dog) and a threat of violation of her rights. With reference to the above circumstances, Semyk asked the court to declare the activities of the Municipal Unitary Enterprise of Household Utilities "S." illegal. for killing stray animals during or immediately after capture without ensuring their maintenance in a specialized nursery for at least six months and without vaccination against rabies. To recognize as illegal the use by the Municipal Unitary Enterprise of Household Utilities "S." “Adilin-super” and “Adilin” preparations for catching stray animals. To prohibit the Municipal Unitary Enterprise of Household Utilities "S." activities for catching stray animals without ensuring the possibility of keeping captured animals for at least six months in a specialized nursery, as well as vaccination against rabies.
Representatives of the defendant MUP BKO "S." Semyk’s claims were not recognized, indicating in their objections that MUP BKO “S.” operates in accordance with the Charter of the enterprise, the Federal Law “On State Municipal Unitary Enterprises”, the Federal Law “On the Sanitary and Epidemiological Welfare of the Population”, the Federal Law “On Environmental Protection”, the Resolution of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor “On strengthening measures to prevent the spread of rabies in the region", Sanitary rules SP...-96 and Veterinary regulations VP ...-96 “Prevention and control of infectious diseases, other regulatory legal acts. In accordance with clause 11 and clause 32 of Art. 16 of the federal law “On general principles organizations local government in the Russian Federation” measures for catching and keeping stray animals are measures to protect the life and health of people, the implementation of which is related to issues of local importance of the urban district. Currently, the procedure for catching and keeping stray domestic animals is not regulated by any legal act. One of the subjects of the statutory activities of MUP BKO "S." is the right to carry out activities to catch stray animals. For the period from May to August 2011, MUP BKO "S." carried out the capture, transportation, sterilization, and maintenance of stray animals (dogs) within the framework of the Resolution of the municipal administration “On the provision of subsidies for reimbursement of costs in connection with the provision of services for the capture, transportation, sterilization and maintenance of stray animals (dogs).” In accordance with the Decree of the municipal administration, MUP BKO "S." fully fulfilled its obligations on the basis of an agreement concluded between the Committee for Housing and Communal Services of the Municipal Administration and the Municipal Unitary Enterprise BKO "S.", providing for reimbursement of the costs of the Municipal Unitary Enterprise BKO "S." for the provision of services for catching, transporting, sterilizing, keeping stray animals within the limits of funds provided by the budget of the municipal formation “...”. Subsequently, the parties signed an additional agreement to the agreement, where the amount of the subsidy for the municipal unitary enterprise BKO "S." was changed and amounted to 998,411.82 rubles. In pursuance of the Resolution of the municipal administration, MUP BKO "S." entered into an agreement with the Regional State Institution (OSI) “Saratov City Station for the Control of Animal Diseases” for the provision of veterinary services to the enterprise related to the provision of sterilization and castration of stray animals (dogs) caught by the Municipal Unitary Enterprise BKO “S.” in the territory …. The provision of veterinary services related to the provision of sterilization and castration of stray animals (dogs) under the contract is confirmed by bilateral certificates of completion of work - the Regional State Institution (OSU) "Saratov City Station for the Control of Animal Diseases" and the Municipal Unitary Enterprise BKO "S." It should be noted that in the municipal unitary enterprise BKO "S." there is a veterinary service headed by its chief, and there are also workers to catch stray animals. These employees perform the functions assigned to them in accordance with the job descriptions of MUP BKO "S." and regulations. People who are not registered with a psychoneurological dispensary and who have been vaccinated against rabies are allowed to work on catching stray animals. Control over veterinary service employees is exercised by the head of the veterinary service, who maintains the necessary reporting documentation and stores medicinal products in accordance with legal requirements. Catching stray animals is carried out using a throwing device from nets or using a veterinary drug - adiline. The supply of adiline is carried out on the basis of an agreement concluded with V. LLC. The solution of this drug is prepared in accordance with the instructions for use of the drug. This instruction was approved by the Deputy Head of Rosselkhoznadzor Registration No. PVR-2-7.7/02169. The concentration of the solution used when catching stray animals is not dangerous to human life. The drug is stored in a strictly inaccessible place (safe) with the appointment of a person responsible for the storage and use of this drug (the head of the veterinary service). All work with Adilin is carried out using special clothing and equipment personal protection. According to the Resolution of the municipal administration, MUP BKO "S." conscientiously fulfilled the obligations assigned to him. All actions were coordinated with the district administration and authorized representatives, and also confirmed necessary documents: applications, acts of catching, acts of work performed, acts of returning animals to their habitat, a magazine on keeping stray animals. Within the framework of the agreement concluded between the Committee for Housing and Communal Services of the municipal administration and the municipal unitary enterprise BKO "S.", costs for services performed for catching, transporting, sterilizing, and keeping stray animals are reimbursed to the enterprise within the limits of the funds provided for by the budget of the municipality, and from due Money in the amount of RUB 998,411.82, incl. VAT - part of the amount in the amount of RUB 492,147.32, incl. VAT is due to the Regional State Institution (OSU) “Saratov City Station for the Control of Animal Diseases” for the services provided veterinary services on castration and sterilization of stray dogs. The above activities are carried out exclusively using humane methods in order to protect the life and health of people. Facts of cruelty to animals are not allowed. In addition, MUP BKO "S." believes that the plaintiff’s arguments are not supported by adequate evidence, are far-fetched, relate to the category of emotions, and the situations she describes are virtually simulated for the future or an indefinite time. MUP BKO "S." provides the customer with dog catching services solely on the basis of written requests from customers in relation to stray animals in the presence of the applicant, for which a certificate of completion of work is drawn up. Tariffs for services of MUP BKO "S." approved by local governments. When providing MUP BKO "S." services, the defendant is strictly guided by the statutory goals and objectives and relevant types of economic activity. At the same time, taking into account the explanation of the director of LLC “V.” G.R.D., the drug “Adilin” is the most humane means for the bloodless immobilization of dogs, cats and various other species of animals and birds; it is not classified as a psychotropic or narcotic substance. According to the director-chief physician of Pervaya LLC Vet clinic» Doctor of Biological Sciences T.G.S. This method is not a method of cruelty to them, since pain sensitivity is lost under the influence of the drug. The defendant did not identify any facts of cruelty to animals by the internal affairs bodies in connection with the capture and killing of stray animals. In this regard, the use of “Adilina” by employees of the municipal unitary enterprise BKO “S.” carried out on the basis of instructions on labor protection during transportation and storage of the medicinal product, also job description . MUP BKO "S." carries out activities to catch stray animals, sterilization is carried out by the Regional State Institution “Saratov City Animal Disease Control Station” on the basis of an agreement, which is documented in acts of work performed. Due to the lack of equipped facilities for keeping animals, after castration, dogs are released into the external environment on the same day. After sterilization, dogs are kept in cages for several days. In order to avoid re-capture, operated animals are equipped with collars. Payment for work performed is made in accordance with the resolution of the Administration ... dated ... ... only after documentary confirmation. In addition, MUP BKO "S." provides services for catching and killing dogs that do not have an owner at the request of citizens and organizations at their expense. Shooting stray dogs and cats for the purpose of preventing rabies is permitted by clause 4.12 of the Veterinary and Sanitary Rules SP ...-96 VP ...-96 “Prevention and control of infectious diseases common to humans and animals”, approved by the State Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision of Russia ... and the Department of Veterinary Medicine of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia … Animal corpses are placed at the enterprise’s animal burial ground in one of 4 biothermal pits that meet established veterinary and sanitary rules and regulations. Services for the burial of animal bodies, the handling of which requires precautions to avoid infection, are provided by the municipal unitary enterprise BKO "S." on the basis of a license to carry out activities for the collection, use, neutralization, transportation, and disposal of hazardous waste. MUP BKO "S." has a land plot that is a landfill for waste disposal, including biological waste. According to the director - chief physician of First Veterinary Clinic LLC ... - Doctor of Biological Sciences T.G.S., this method is not a method of cruelty to them, since pain sensitivity is lost under the influence of the drug. In connection with the provision of municipal unitary enterprise BKO "S." in the materials of the civil case of title documents indicating the subject and types of economic activity of the enterprise, we consider the indication of the applicant Semyk O.I. unlawful. about the supposedly obligatory for MUP BKO "S." vaccinating stray dogs against rabies. In the charter of MUP BKO "S." such type of activity as vaccinating stray dogs against rabies is not provided, therefore the defendant has no legal grounds for performing or providing this type of service... internal affairs regarding the capture and killing of stray pets in accordance with Art. 144-145 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, checks were carried out to identify signs of a crime under Art. 254 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - cruelty to animals. However, the facts of ill-treatment were not confirmed, and therefore the initiation of a criminal case was refused. In connection with the above, there are no grounds for adopting acts of prosecutorial response. There are no actions on the part of the defendant that create a danger of harm and a threat of violation of rights in relation to the plaintiff, the activities of MUP BKO "S." carried out legally in accordance with the Charter of the enterprise, approved by the Property Management Committee ... and other legislative and regulatory acts. Applicant reference Semyk O.I. present 230-231 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on keeping stray animals for 6 months must be inextricably linked with Art. 232 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on reimbursement of expenses for the maintenance of stray animals. However, the issue of reimbursement of expenses for maintaining dogs for the period of stay of stray animals for 6 months has not yet been resolved and there are no regulatory legal acts on this issue in ... or the city of Saratov. MUP BKO "S." - is not charitable organizations, the company does not receive any donations for the maintenance of dogs. Budget funding for the maintenance of dogs for the duration of their stay for 6 months to the municipal unitary enterprise BKO "S." is not implemented.
The representative of a third party who does not make independent claims on the subject of the dispute - the Administration of the Municipal Entity "..." at the court hearing objected to the satisfaction of the stated Semyk O.I. claims, supporting the defendant's arguments in the case.
After hearing the explanations of the persons involved in the case and examining the written materials of the case, the court came to the following conclusion.
According to the Charter of the Municipal Unitary Enterprise of Household Utilities "S.", the enterprise is part of the housing and communal services system of the Municipal Entity "...". The enterprise was created for the purpose of producing products, performing work, providing services, making a profit and solving social problems. Among other activities, the enterprise carries out the capture of stray dogs and cats, their quarantine (vol...., ld...).
By the Decree of the Administration of the Municipal Formation "..." dated ... ... (vol. ..., ld ... the Regulations on the provision of subsidies for reimbursement of costs in connection with the provision of services for catching, transportation, sterilization, and maintenance of stray animals (dogs) were approved. According to the approved According to the regulation, the purpose of providing subsidies was to reimburse costs in connection with the provision of services for catching, transporting, sterilizing, keeping stray animals (dogs).The necessary conditions for providing a subsidy were: providing services for catching, transporting, sterilizing, keeping stray animals (dogs) or provision of services for the capture, transportation and maintenance of stray animals (dogs) and the presence of a valid contract with a specialized organization for the provision of sterilization services for animals (dogs).
It was also established that... an agreement was concluded between the Committee on Housing and Communal Services of the municipal administration "..." and the municipal unitary enterprise BKO "S.", on the basis of the above Regulations.... (volume..., ld...). In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Committee for Housing and Communal Services of the municipal administration "...", as the main administrator, provided the recipient, represented by the municipal unitary enterprise BKO "S." subsidies for reimbursement of costs in connection with the provision of services for catching, transporting, sterilizing, keeping stray animals (dogs) within the limits of funds provided for by the budget of the municipal formation “...” for ... year.
As it was established during the consideration of the case, the defendant for ... a year, within the framework of the concluded agreements, carried out activities to catch, keep, and kill stray animals (dogs) both on the territory of the municipal entity "..." and on the territory of other municipal entities. These circumstances, which were not disputed by the defendant, are also confirmed by numerous case materials (copies of applications, copies of contracts, copies of the work acceptance certificate, etc.).
According to Art. 137 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation applies to animals general rules about property, unless otherwise established by law or other legal acts.
When exercising rights, cruelty to animals that is contrary to the principles of humanity is not allowed.
In accordance with Part 1 of Art. 230 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, a person who has detained stray or stray livestock or other stray domestic animals is obliged to return them to the owner, and if the owner of the animals or his place of residence is unknown, no later than three days from the moment of detention, report the discovery of the animals to the police or local authority local governments that take measures to find the owner.
By virtue of Part 1 of Art. 231 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, if within six months from the date of the application for detention of stray domestic animals, their owner is not found or does not declare his right to them, the person who kept and used the animals acquires the right of ownership to them .
From the written response of the Deputy Prosecutor of the Saratov Interregional Environmental Prosecutor's Office from ... it follows that the Volga Interregional Environmental Prosecutor's Office conducted a repeat inspection on the issue of violations of the municipal unitary enterprise BKO "S." ... veterinary legislation when catching, sterilizing and killing stray domestic animals. The inspection showed that in the territory ... the catching of stray domestic animals is carried out by the municipal unitary enterprise BKO "S." ..., for which, by a resolution of the administration ... dated ... ..., a tariff was established in the amount of ... ruble ... kopecks. The audit also established that the head of the veterinary service of the Municipal Unitary Enterprise BKO "S." ...measures have not been taken to comply with the requirements of SP 3....-..., approved. Resolution of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation dated ... N 54, regarding the maintenance of captured animals in special nurseries and their immunization against rabies. In relation to the head of the veterinary service of the municipal unitary enterprise BKO "S." ... the interdistrict environmental prosecutor initiated proceedings for an administrative offense under Art. ... Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offences. To the director of the municipal unitary enterprise BKO "S." ... the environmental prosecutor submitted a proposal to eliminate violations of federal legislation. In addition, during the inspection it was established that the regional government authorities authorized to carry out veterinary, sanitary and epidemiological supervision, measures to eliminate violations of veterinary legislation, legislation in the field of ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population, allowed by the municipal unitary enterprise BKO "S." ... were not accepted.
In accordance with Art. 1 Federal Law“On the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population”, restrictive measures(quarantine) - administrative, medical, sanitary, veterinary and other measures aimed at preventing the spread of infectious diseases and providing for a special regime for economic and other activities, restricting the movement of the population, Vehicle, cargo, goods and animals.
According to clause 1.2 Sanitary Rules SP ... 7-10 “Prevention of rabies among people”, approved by the Decree of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation ... ..., compliance with sanitary rules is mandatory for citizens, individual entrepreneurs and legal entities throughout the Russian Federation, including state authorities and local governments, officials, organizations, regardless of their legal form and form of ownership.
In accordance with clause 9.5 of the same Sanitary Rules, regulation of the number of stray animals is carried out by catching them and keeping them in special nurseries. All animals must be vaccinated against rabies. When implementing regional programs sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population, the organization and conduct of these events falls within the powers of state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
By virtue of clause 4.2, 4.5 Sanitary Rules...-96. “Prevention and control of infectious diseases common to humans and animals. Rabies”, dogs, cats and other animals that have bitten people or animals (except those clearly suffering from rabies) are subject to immediate delivery by the owner or a special team for catching stray dogs and cats to the nearest veterinary hospital for examination and quarantine under the supervision of specialists for 10 days. At the end of the quarantine period, clinically healthy animals after preliminary vaccination can be returned to their owners, provided they are kept in isolation for 30 days. Animals infected with rabies are destroyed.
Thus, it is possible to make a diagnosis of “rabies” only on the basis of a set of measures and results laboratory research which the defendant did not carry out. Evidence that the dogs killed by the defendant during the disputed period were sick or suspicious for disease, the court, contrary to the requirements of Art. 56 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, not presented.
The above regulatory and legal provisions refute the arguments of the representative of the defendant about the absence of the obligation for the Municipal Unitary Enterprise of Household Public Utilities "Special Automobile Facility for City Cleaning" to vaccinate captured dogs against rabies before releasing them into their habitats, since one of the types of the defendant's statutory activities is the quarantine of stray dogs and cats.
As it was established during the consideration of the case, the catching of stray dogs is carried out by a special team of the Municipal Unitary Enterprise BKO “S.”, which includes a veterinarian and animal catchers. Catching is carried out by persons who do not have veterinary education, using pneumatic weapons using the medicinal product for animals “Adilin-super”. The presence of these circumstances was confirmed at the court hearing by representatives of the defendant, as well as by employees of the Municipal Unitary Enterprise BKO “S.”, who were questioned at the court hearing as witnesses.
According to the letter of the Department of Industry Development of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation dated ... (vol. ..., ld ...), the drug "Adilin-super" is intended for use as a means of mass bloodless slaughter of animals and poultry in areas of occurrence of particularly dangerous diseases of animals and birds .
In accordance with the Instructions for the use of the drug "Adilin-super", approved by the head of the main department of veterinary medicine of the State Commission of the Council of Ministers of the USSR for Food and Procurement ... ..., this drug blocks the conduction of neuromuscular excitation, resulting in relaxation skeletal muscles and immobilization with subsequent death. The lethality of the outcome when using the drug in doses intended for catching stray dogs and cats by public utilities is 15-60 seconds.
As follows from the expert opinion of the Federal State Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "Ural State Agricultural Academy" (volume 1, pp. 30-31), the drug "Adilin-super" belongs to the group of muscle relaxants, the mechanism of action of the drug: relaxes the muscles. When the drug is administered, the muscles relax, including the respiratory ones, which leads to respiratory cessation, and after some time the heart stops. These drugs must be administered by a specially trained veterinarian in a specially designated area. The drug "Adilin-super" causes painful death from suffocation in animals. It is well known from veterinary practice that muscle relaxants of this type are used only under anesthesia and artificial respiration in surgery for operations. Without combination with anesthesia, immediately after the introduction of these poisons, the animal begins agony within 4 minutes: respiratory paralysis, convulsions, cardiac arrest and death from suffocation within 15-20 minutes, while the animal is fully conscious.
At the same time, according to the logbook for recording the movement of materials for catching stray animals, the medicinal product for animals “Adilin-super” is issued by the materially responsible person to the teams of catchers against receipt.
In fact, as it was established during the consideration of the case by the testimony of numerous witnesses, the defendant, when catching stray dogs in their habitats on the territory ..., and not in specially designated places, uses a drug for animals, which leads to the death of the animal when it is caught, as a result of which it is placed It is not possible to send a captured animal to a shelter for detention within the six-month period established by civil law, or to return it to the owner.
Thus, the actions of MUP BKO "S." on the use of the drug “Adilin-super” for the capture of stray animals, as well as the killing of stray animals in violation of the above Rules are illegal and also do not meet the principles of humanity.
In accordance with the Law of the Russian Federation dated ... ... “On Veterinary Medicine”, they regulate relations in the field of keeping pets, catching, killing and stray animals, ensuring the safety of people from the adverse physical, sanitary and psychological effects of pets, apply to all animals and are subject to compliance , both by all owners of pets in municipalities... and by organizations entrusted with the functions of catching
and killing of animals. In addition, the Modular Law on the Treatment of Animals, adopted at the 29th Plenary Session of the Interparliamentary Assembly of the CIS Member States (Resolution ... dated ..., also stipulates that temporary detention centers for animals are created by organizations that catch stray animals for the temporary detention of seized or otherwise way of alienated animals, found or captured stray animals and search for their owners or new owners.
The court agrees with the plaintiff’s arguments that the defendant’s disputed actions, which do not comply with legal requirements, create a potential threat of violation of her property rights as a dog owner; rights to a favorable environment and finds the claims of Semyk O.I. justified and subject to satisfaction.
By virtue of the provisions of Art. 12 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, one of the ways to protect civil rights is to suppress actions that violate the right or create a threat of its violation. Taking this into account, preventing the threat of violation of the rights of the plaintiff is possible by suppressing the unlawful actions of the defendant.
In accordance with Art. 98 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, the state fee paid when filing a claim in court in the amount of 400 rubles is subject to recovery from the defendant in favor of the plaintiff.
Based on the above, guided by Art. Art. 194-199 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, court
To recognize as illegal the activities of the Municipal Unitary Enterprise of Household Utilities "S." for killing stray animals during or immediately after capture without ensuring their maintenance in a specialized nursery for at least six months and without vaccination against rabies.

1. General view to the situation
The most common way to regulate the number of stray animals in Russia over the past 20 years is their remote killing (“shooting”) using “flying syringes” or darts containing muscle relaxants with curare-like action (ditylin, listenone; in last years- adilin).
At the same time, as a rule, there is no practice of temporary holding of captured animals: killing is carried out right on the spot. This method is subject to severe criticism from the animal protection community, and in a number of regions has already come under a formal ban - either by decision of the courts, citing its contradiction with some federal legislative acts (for example, the Civil Code), or during the adoption of regional legislation that directly prohibits killing animals at the capture site. The effectiveness of this method is also limited - because it is not accompanied by additional measures to prevent homelessness, and also has low popularity among the population: people are often in no hurry to call catchers when in contact with stray dogs, feeling sorry for animals that are destined only for guaranteed death.
The reasons for the widespread practice of such shooting in Russia are as follows:
*lack of consistent federal legislation regulating the issues of catching, keeping and euthanasia of stray animals;
*reluctance of municipalities to organize catching in a truly civilized manner; * saving effort and money by the direct executors, including due to the scarcity of funds allocated (received) for catching, which is expressed, among other things, in the lack of equipped premises (temporary detention centers, shelters) to accommodate captured animals;
*absence in Russia of institutions for professional training of catchers and, accordingly, requirements from municipal authorities (as customers) for the mandatory availability of such training;
*the vicious practice of assessing the results of work and calculating the salaries of employees of catching services based on the number of heads not caught, but destroyed.
In this paper, we focus on one of the negative aspects of the use of curare-like muscle relaxants - the suffering of animals during killing.
2. general characteristics muscle relaxants with curare-like action and their mechanisms of action
To clearly understand the mechanism of action of muscle relaxants, let us turn to brief information on neuromuscular physiology.
The neuromuscular junction is the connection between a nerve fiber and a skeletal muscle fiber. The transmission of a signal from a nerve to a muscle is carried out through the release of molecules of a special intermediary substance, acetylcholine, from the side of the nerve fiber. Acetylcholine then binds to the n-cholinergic receptor on the muscle cell membrane (“post-synaptic receptor”), causing a change in its state. Distribution changes electric charges outside and inside the muscle cell membrane (depolarization), generating a short-term difference in electrical potential that triggers the process of muscle contraction. For the next start of the muscle fiber contraction process, the charge state of the muscle membrane must be reset to its original state (repolarization). After contraction is activated, acetylcholine is very quickly (~0.001 s) destroyed by the enzyme cholinesterase, and the membrane is repolarized and becomes capable of receiving a new signal from the nerve fiber.
Muscle relaxants with curare-like action affect the process of signal transmission at the neuromuscular synapse. They are divided into depolarizing and non-depolarizing.
Non-depolarizing muscle relaxants (for example, tubocurarine) block the effect of acetylcholine on the n-cholinergic receptors of the muscle membrane, thereby preventing the passage of the signal that activates muscle contraction, but do not change the state of the receptor itself. Depolarizing muscle relaxants (ditylin, listenone) are similar in molecular structure to acetylcholine and act on receptors like acetylcholine, but are not broken down by the enzyme cholinesterase in the synaptic cleft, and therefore cause persistent depolarization of the muscle membrane, making it insensitive to the receipt of control signals. (The blood enzyme pseudocholinesterase gradually breaks down depolarizing muscle relaxants, neutralizing their effects, but this is a slow process.)
After injection, curare-like muscle relaxants cause muscle relaxation and paralysis in the following sequence: facial muscles, muscles of the larynx (vocal cords), neck, muscles of the limbs, torso and finally, the muscles of the diaphragm responsible for breathing. When critical doses of muscle relaxants are administered, respiratory arrest is possible (in medicine, in this case, the patient is transferred to artificial ventilation lungs) and subsequent death. Note that the direct effect of the drug entering the bloodstream on other vital organs (for example, the heart) is not a factor that can cause death.
3. Veterinary aspect of the use of muscle relaxants, the opinion of international and foreign organizations.
One of the most authoritative, accurate and comprehensive sources characterizing various methods killing of animals, suitable and unsuitable for euthanasia of representatives various types, is the "Guide to Euthanasia" developed by the American Veterinary Medical Association through a review and synthesis of existing scientific evidence. The last updated edition of the Guide was published in 2007; thus, these data are also the most up-to-date.
All substances acting as neuromuscular blockers (magnesium sulfate, nicotine, all curare-like muscle relaxants) are classified in this Guide as drugs, the use of which is permissible only after the animal has previously been immersed in a state of anesthesia. The use of neuromuscular blockers without prior anesthesia is absolutely unacceptable.
In scientific laboratory practice, the use of muscle relaxants for the euthanasia of animals, including dogs and cats, without prior anesthesia is also not allowed. This use of muscle relaxants is contrary to both the recommendations of the Humane Society International (HSI) and the European Convention for the Protection of Companion Animals (which prohibits the use of killing methods based on artificial cessation of respiration unless such methods cause immediate loss of consciousness or begin with immersion in deep anesthesia).
The reason for this conclusion is that these drugs lead to an excruciating feeling of suffocation, but at the same time they have neither narcotic nor sedative properties. The use of lethal doses of neuromuscular blockers causes paralysis of skeletal muscles, including the respiratory muscles. A fully conscious animal experiences acute respiratory failure neuromuscular etiology.
At the same time, the use of muscle relaxants is inhumane even despite the fact that, starting from certain concentrations of carbon dioxide in the blood, the animal develops an unconscious state, and cardiac arrest occurs after the electrical activity of the brain has died down - since the increase in carbon dioxide concentration occurs too slowly. The accumulation of carbon dioxide when using muscle relaxants does not occur due to the chemical decomposition of the administered drug, but only due to the metabolic processes of the body itself (as in any other case of stopping the flow of air into the lungs). Metabolic processes do not proceed quickly enough to produce a high concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood in a period of time short enough for the animal not to have time to feel suffocated.
As a result, loss of consciousness and extinction of electrical activity of the brain when using muscle relaxants is preceded by a fairly long period (up to several minutes) when a fully conscious animal experiences painful suffocation. Thus, it can be argued that killing conscious animals with chicken-like muscle relaxants causes them suffering.
For comparison, we note: during inhalation euthanasia of animals with carbon dioxide, which is based specifically on the anesthetic effect of high concentrations of carbon dioxide, gas mixtures from cylinders with a carbon dioxide concentration of at least 70-80% are used so that the required concentration of carbon dioxide in the animal’s blood is achieved in the shortest possible time.
The statement that is sometimes found that the moment of death when using muscle relaxants occurs in the absence of sensitivity, imperceptibly for the body, in fact has nothing to do with the essence of the issue under consideration, since what is fundamentally important here is not the moment of death itself - but the processes occurring long before it, when the animal is still conscious. Paralysis respiratory muscles and suffocation occur before loss of consciousness and extinction of the electrical activity of the brain (and the subsequent cessation of cardiac activity).
4. "Adilin" as one of the muscle relaxants
We have at our disposal a number of documents that contain statements about the supposedly very rapid death of an animal after the administration of one of their muscle relaxants - namely, “Adilina” (which is produced by the Kazan association Vetbioservice LLC). Thus, in the conclusion on the use of the drug “Adilin”, provided by employees of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education “Don State Agrarian University” V.Kh. Fedorov, V.S. Stepanenko and N.V. Sumin in 2012, it is noted that the period of death is 15-60 s after administration of the drug. However, such information is not confirmed by scientific sources; this period is attributed only to the stage of the beginning of relaxation of skeletal muscles. Moreover, the manufacturers of the drug themselves indicate the time of death to be about 1-3 minutes.
At the same time, we do not have access to any information confirming beyond any doubt that the mechanism of action of the drug “Adilin” is in any way different from the mechanism of action of other muscle relaxants. Moreover, the drug "Adilin" (bis-dimethyl sulfate of bis-dimethylaminoethyl ester of succinic acid) is a close chemical analogue of the drugs "Ditilin" (diiodomethylate of bis-dimethylaminoethyl ester of succinic acid) and "Listenon" (dichloromethylate of bis-dimethylaminoethyl ester of succinic acid), having curare-like properties, and inapplicable for humane euthanasia without first placing the animal under anesthesia.
Thus, there is every reason to classify the drug “Adilin” as a group of substances, the use of which for euthanasia is permissible only after the animal has been put into a state of anesthesia using certified drugs intended for this purpose. veterinary drugs- but in no case as the only means used.
On the other hand, we recognize the forced need to use euthanasia in the course of measures to regulate the number of stray animals. Russia is one of the countries with a “European style” of dog keeping (most dogs are owned, and stray dogs are their descendants). For such countries, the optimal basic method of working with existing stray dogs is irretrievable capture and subsequent placement in a municipal shelter.
From such a shelter, captured animals can be transferred for further maintenance to the previous owners, or to citizens and public organizations who have expressed a desire to become the new owners of the animal, and keep it in accordance with the current Rules for keeping pets. However, the period of keeping captured animals in a municipal shelter should be limited to a reasonable period, since the municipal shelter must be able to accept all stray animals subject to capture. Otherwise, the irrevocable capture of stray animals in the city will be paralyzed, and measures to regulate the number of stray animals will become ineffective.
According to the current legislation of the Russian Federation, for owned animals this period must be at least 6 months, since the acquisition of ownership of this type of property occurs precisely after the passage of such a period - however, for ownerless animals, the period of mandatory maintenance can be reduced, since the capture of such animals is carried out in order to regulate their numbers, and not to acquire ownership of them.
Therefore, if the number of animals returned to the previous owners and transferred to the new owners is less than the number of animals captured; or animals received from capture, due to behavioral characteristics or health conditions, cannot be transferred to new owners - there is a need to euthanize unclaimed animals. To eliminate the need for euthanasia of healthy animals, long-term work to prevent homelessness and neglect within the framework of integrated approach, which also includes the fight against excessive reproduction of domestic animals.
Although in Russia there are no certified veterinary drugs that can be used for humane euthanasia, carried out in one step, it remains possible to use euthanasia schemes that involve two stages:
a) putting an animal into a state of anesthesia using veterinary drugs certified for such use (for example, intramuscular injection the drug "Zoletil" or its mixture with the drug "Xylazine", or intravenous administration of the drug "Propofol");
b) after this, administering to the anesthetized animal one of the drugs certified for use for the purpose of killing animals (for example, the drug “Adilin”);
6. Temporary immobilization during capture.
The use of the drug "Adilin" not for killing, but for temporary immobilization of animals also raises questions, since there are no official instructions regarding dosages for temporary immobilization of animals with this drug. Therefore, first of all, we propose to consider the possibility of using the drugs “Xylazine” (“Rometar”, “Xila” and other xylazine-containing drugs) and “Zoletil” (its mixtures with the drug “Xylazine”) for this purpose. This method of temporarily immobilizing dogs during capture is already used in a number of Russian cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yaroslavl).
As for the use of muscle relaxants for temporary immobilization, in this case it is necessary to turn to the use not of Adilina, but of another drug - Ditilina, for which there are officially approved instructions for its use specifically for temporary immobilization. As for the use of the drug “Adilin” for this purpose, it seems to us that such a possibility can only be considered after the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation or other authorized executive body has developed and approved official instructions indicating the exact dosages of the drug, which are known not to cause death.
In any case, the use of muscle relaxants fast action should only be a last resort measure used when capturing highly feral animals that cannot be captured using less dangerous means; in addition, teams of catchers using such muscle relaxants must have injectable drugs that weaken the effect of the muscle relaxant (vitamin B1 - thiamine, as well as a 0.1% solution of adrenaline in hypertonic solution sodium chloride) and know how to use them under appropriate circumstances.

Hello, I already wrote to you, but did not receive an answer, perhaps because I mixed up the thread. The situation is as follows: in our city, euthanasia by Adeline is practiced and we were told that the animal simply falls asleep without a drop of pain. We believed, in practice we saw that the animal was twitching in convulsions, although not strongly and not for long, a question arose about humanity, because we were told that anesthesia was not needed, because... from such a dose of Adeline they themselves fall asleep before they feel anything. We arrived home and read a lot of horror stories on the Internet and found the official answer from the manufacturer of this drug:
“In response to your letter, we inform you that the instructions for use of the drug Adilin-super do not specifically provide for intracardiac administration of a muscle relaxant. However, this does not mean that it cannot be used for euthanasia. Apparently, the veterinarian was guided by humane considerations, trying to facilitate and speed up the passing of your cat to another world. Current ideas about the suffering of patients who were administered muscle relaxants with insufficient anesthesia have practically no relation to cases of the use of such drugs by veterinary services for euthanasia of animals, since veterinarians, in accordance with the instructions, use very high doses of muscle relaxants. According to our data, in this In this case, a fatal outcome occurs very quickly - within 1-3 minutes after injection. Absorption of the drug occurs very quickly, and when administered intracardially or intravenously, almost instantly - “at the tip of the needle." In addition, according to encephalography, the bioelectric activity of the brain fades earlier than heart contractions, i.e. the very fact of the death of an animal occurs, with all certainty, in the absence of any sensitivity, in unconscious. Moreover, when the respiratory muscles are blocked, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood increases sharply, which itself causes a narcotic state (narcosis), i.e. general analgesic effect.

The Supreme Court ruling also clarifies a number of other difficult cases that Russian courts have to deal with when resolving cases related to drug trafficking. However, a number of questions remained unresolved. In particular, despite the decriminalization for doctors and veterinarians of administering drugs, psychotropic or potent substances, according to medical indications, veterinarians found themselves in an unequal position with doctors. They can still be held criminally liable for the illegal acquisition and storage of such substances under Part 1 of Art. 228 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the Resolution states: “In cases where a person uses an illegally acquired narcotic drug or psychotropic substance (for example, ketamine, ketamine hydrochloride) for the purpose of treating animals, his actions do not contain signs of a crime entailing criminal liability for the illegal sale of these drugs or substances." Thus, stated Irina Novozhilova, president of the Vita Animal Rights Center, a veterinarian can fearlessly inject ketamine into an animal, but it is not clear where this drug should come from. A special license gives legitimacy to the storage of drugs, psychotropic and potent substances by veterinarians. Meanwhile, according to Irina Novozhilova, about 75% of practicing veterinarians are not able to obtain a paid license and fulfill all licensing requirements ( entity, the presence of a safe for storing these substances, the presence of no more than a three-day supply, the use of these substances exclusively within the walls of the clinic). According to her, this pushes veterinarians to perform serious medical procedures and even surgical operations using drugs that immobilize the animal, but without pain relief.

Recently, less than a year ago, I euthanized a cat at the veterinary clinic on Yunnatov. Anesthesia in a horse dose in two doses, and then adeline. I did as the doctor recommended. She didn’t twitch, didn’t even move. She just fell asleep, licking my hands, and 10 minutes later they administered adeline. I paid the cashier 300 rubles more than the standard price and that’s it. Yes, I signed my name a couple of times and presented my passport. Small unlicensed clinics may have problems, but everywhere there are state veterinary stations where they will do everything for a little money.

If the question is whether to give anesthesia before euthanasia or not, then the answer is ambiguous. When advancing clinical death agony is observed (body arching, muscle contraction), but it is believed that there is no longer consciousness and this is simply a reaction of the body. If you want to avoid it, then let the doctor first diagnose full anesthesia. The animal will leave as stress-free as possible.
