Pack of dogs threatens children near schools and kindergarten

In Chelyabinsk«s Shagol settlement, a pack of stray dogs is posing a threat to children. The animals regularly appear near School No. 28, a music school, and Kindergarten No. 50, leading parents to fear letting their children go out alone.

«The dogs are aggressive and lunge at passersby. Every trip to school or kindergarten turns into a survival quest,» says local resident Vitaliya. Another woman recounted that the pack nearly attacked her and her toddler near the kindergarten. «They came out of nowhere, luckily my child managed to run to me,» she wrote.

According to residents, they have repeatedly contacted the capture service, but the situation has not changed. «They caught the ones that didn«t run away — small, domestic, harmless dogs — but they haven»t tried to catch these. They«re too fast and experienced, the capture service can»t find them,» explained Karina.

Since the beginning of the year, a municipal service has been handling the capture of stray animals in Chelyabinsk. Requests are accepted by phone at (351) 729 33 66 during working hours or by email at otlov.mku@mail.ru around the clock.
