Yabloko calls Ryazan authorities to resume subsidies to animals welfare group
Press release, 03.11.2017
The Ryazan Region branch of Yabloko has called the Ryazan city administration to resume the provision of subsidies to the public organisation The Best Friends dealing with animals welfare.
In early November the organisation announced that the city authorities refused to provide them with an annual grant of 900.000 roubles (approx. 15.396 dollars). The subsidy was usually spent on vetting and sterilisation of stray animals.
According to Yabloko, the grant makes up rather a small sum of money and will not cause much damage to the budget. And these funds are essential for the protection of animals and the environment.
