Granite Slabs, Crosses, Fences. Family Found a Pet Cemetery in the Forest
A regular walk in the forest near Bobruisk turned into an unpleasant discovery for a local family.
Just a hundred meters from the residential area of the Zakhodni microdistrict, they discovered a spontaneous pet cemetery, which in recent years has grown to the scale of a full-fledged necropolis, writes Onliner.by.
The forest edge is literally dotted with graves, fenced with plastic and metal enclosures and adorned with wreaths and flowers. And in some places, there are even granite monuments or crosses.
A reader who sent photos to Onliner.by was outraged by this approach, noting that under the guise of preserving animal memory, the forest is turning into a cluttered dump of plastic and artificial materials.
— Well, if you want to bury your animal, plant a tree in that spot! You'll do a good deed for nature and leave yourself a permanent landmark. I am simply amazed at how our people love to drag all sorts of trash into the forest. They should be fined to the fullest extent here! — a local resident expressed indignation.
Meanwhile, from the perspective of Belarusian legislation, such spontaneous memorials are outside the law. According to current sanitary and veterinary regulations, burying deceased pets in forests, parks, yards, and any other undeveloped areas is strictly prohibited.
Animal bodies are legally equated to biological waste that requires specialized disposal. Uncontrolled burials in the ground pose a potential ecological and sanitary threat: the decomposition of remains can pollute soil and groundwater, as well as attract wild animals or create danger for other pets.
For the creation of unauthorized cemeteries and the cluttering of forest park areas, administrative responsibility is provided — up to significant fines of up to 30 basic units (today 1350 rubles).
