A few hours ago, this weekend, a photo was published in a popular Facebook group that soon managed to go viral, being appreciated with various reactions by several hundred people.

 

The photo in question shows an police car with two ducks transported on the back seat, although after only a few hours it was removed for unknown reasons, and earlier even the possibility to comment on the post was disconnected.

 

Obviously it is an photoshop , but one that from the beginning made us think of another, published in the same group, a day earlier. Saturday, August 22, at the intersection of Ismail Street with bd. Stephen the Great and Saint, a pair geese were caught.

 

 

Being alone on the street, it immediately made us think of the idea that a police crew from Chisinau managed to catch them and take them away from the dangers of road traffic, but this only in our dreams could it happen.

 

The real photo behind the edited one is the one attached below. It was shoot somewhere in the United States, where there are countless cases when the police are involved in "evacuating" animals from the roads.

 

By the way, let's not forget that in the US there is even an animal police - an organization empowered to punish those people who do not take proper care, or make fun of them.

 

 

Arriving on April 27 in Novosibirsk with a flight from Vietnam, a duck named Borislav was detained at the Tolmachevo airport - taken from the owners and quarantined because the duck did not have veterinary permission to enter Russia, Siberia newspaper reported.

 

Borislav is registered as a pet: she has an international passport, a special chip, the necessary vaccinations and a certificate of export - in Vietnamese and English. The duck did not have only an import permit from the Rosselkhoznadzor. According to Litvinova, back in Vietnam, she tried to contact the agency by phone and email, but no one answered her.

 

History of Borislav:

 

Litvinova and her husband bought a duckling in Vietnam seven months ago. “We saw enough horror in Vietnam, how they sell live ducks for food and wanted to save at least one duckling,” Litvinova said.

 

At first, the duck was called Borei, because they thought it was a male. Later it turned out that the duck is a female, so she became Borislav. The bird has its own instagram, it lives with the owners in the apartment, it is perceived as a child.

 

When the mistress and Borislav flew to Novosibirsk, the bird was taken. “Leaving the duck at the airport was scary: when the employee of the veterinary control called her boss, he told her over the speakerphone:“ Write out the act, we’ll kill tomorrow, ”said Litvinova.

 

What else is known:

 

On April 30, the Rosselkhoznadzor announced that they would return Borislav to the owners when they received the results of the survey. The duck is still in isolation in Tolmachevo.

 

“The bird responds adequately to feeding, feels satisfactory and daily takes water procedures,” the department said.

 

Litvinova and her husband lives in Yalta, while in Novosibirsk they were sent to quarantine for two weeks in an observatory.

 

Similar cases:

 

Earlier, a Spitz named Mila flew from Thailand to quarantine “without the right to walk”. The owner of the dog was threatened with a fine if this requirement is violated. Mila was placed in the observatory with him.

 

 

 

In the Russian city of Krasnodar, on April 21, police stopped the traffic so that a family of ducks could cross the road.

 

The video appeared on social media on April 23. The footage shows how the police put a traffic sign on the roadway when the ducks stepped on the road. After the animals reached the curb, the sign was removed.

 

The press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Krasnodar told Yuga.ru that ducks crossed the road on Uralskaya Street near the traffic police quarantine post.

 

Birds attracted the attention of traffic inspectors, after which they stopped the movement and organized a safe passage of animals through the roadway. Then the police helped the ducks cross another section of the road.

 

“Police officers not only ensured the safe passage of the animals themselves, but also took all necessary measures to prevent congestion. We drove some animals to the other side.

 

It should be noted that the animals were heading towards a nearby pond, literally a few hundred meters away, ”said Artem Konovalenko, head of the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Krasnodar.
