"cruelty to animals", broadens measures to provide humane
treatment of animals, namely though implementation of several hours in course
of studies in secondary schools and course "Environmental Ethics" in the system
of higher education. The bill envisages a number of prohibiting norms in the
sphere of animals treatment, namely regarding trapping
of animals that are keeping under special treatment, destroying of areal, commercial use of animals etc.
