The recent “special military operations” in Russia and Ukraine have led us to believe that our strength is really strong. Although Russia is crushing Ukraine in every way, for some Western countries, we have just as good a deal, and that even Russian dogs have been severely sanctioned.
According to the news, in addition to the sanctions imposed on Russian cats and trees, the West has taken action against Russian dogs — preventing them from participating in international competitions. According to Russian parliamentarians, Western sanctions against Russian animals are like “paranoia”.
Russian dogs are forbidden to compete.
Russian tsargrad TV reported on 11 days that, in recent days, the International Dog Federation had announced that all activities sponsored by the organization would be suspended in Russia. All international activities of the Federation will not be held in Russia. In addition, Russian dogs will be barred from participating in various events organized by the organization. At the same time, many Western countries have announced sanctions against Russian dogs, including a ban on their participation in the European Dog Championship in Paris this year. Russian dogs were also unable to participate in the largest dog fair, the Crofts Dog Fair, held in England from 10 to 13 March.
The English canine club is not a member of the International Federation of Dogs, but has stated its full support for the Federation ' s decision to ban dogs from Russia. Sweden and the Finnish Dog Federation, for their part, have announced that only dogs imported from Russia will be registered.
Shortly before the sanctions were imposed on Russian dogs, the International Federation of Cats and Animals announced that cats from Russia were prohibited from participating in exhibitions organized abroad by the organization and that all activities in Russia were suspended. On 28 February, the organizers of the “Europe Tree Year” competition announced on their network that Russian trees were prohibited from participating in the “Europe Tree Year”.
"Dogs have no nationality, do not participate in politics."
In response, Vladimir Golubev, President of the Russian Dog Federation, stated that, in his memory, there had been no international sanctions against Russian dogs. Thus, the decision of the International Dog Federation is contrary to the organization ' s statute. Russia will not impose such a ban on dogs in other countries.
Vladimir said, “We dog-breeders need not panic about these prohibitions because they know that the best dogs in the world are concentrated in Russia. They were looted abroad, including in the United States, Canada and others. We have the best dog species in the world. We are prepared to organize similar competitions ourselves to replace the International Dog Fair. Without a Russian dog, the International Dog Fair would be boring. I would like to remind you that the International Federation of Dogs exists for dogs around the world who have no nationality and are not involved in politics. If the International Federation of Dogs were to make dogs the object of hatred, it would unfortunately mean that it has forgotten its goals, principles and ideals.”
Close the sky on Russian migratory birds?
Russian State Duma parliamentarian Vladimir Burmatov is confused by these increasingly disproportionate Western sanctions. He said, “This is absolutely unjustifiable in Western countries. What have our four-legged animals done to the West wrong? What is the ultimate goal of such restrictions? This approach is unlikely to succeed in undermining our economy. It can be said that the sanctions they impose on Russian animals are absurd and even like paranoia. From now on, even Russian cockroaches will be punished. Or close the sky of Russian migratory birds?"
According to the 12th Journal on the Russian Tsargrad website, so far the Western sanctions against Russia have exceeded all previous sanctions against Iran, the DPRK or Syria. But “psychiatry”-type sanctions continue, “we are waiting for Western restrictions on `unnegatively born in Russia' fish and hamsters”.
Russia's cats and dogs often win international championships. The Belington indoctrination from St. Petersburg won a grand prize at the International Dog Federation championship in Czech Republic last October. Before that, Russian cats had also won international championships. According to Russian citizens, such sanctions are just a black screen that wants to kill gold medals and win prizes to other cats and dogs.
In this case, it is true that we bystanders are a little obscurantistic about the conduct of Western countries, and it is not really clear how many more sanctions, such as this, will come.
