The negative trend related to the use of live fish has become widespread in Uzbekistan. This was reported by Upl.uz.
According to UPL correspondent, some car owners placed live fish under the protective film of the car hood. A video depicting this situation faced widespread criticism on social media.
Uzbek citizens described this action as cruelty towards animals and called for law enforcement agencies to take action. According to the Ministry of Environment, it has been determined that the person who prepared the video is a citizen living in Tashkent.
A protocol has been drawn up against him under part 1 of article 111 of the Code of Administrative Responsibility. According to this article, a fine of 1,125,000 soums has been imposed for cruel treatment of animals.
In recent years, cases of cruelty towards animals for the purpose of gaining attention on social media have been increasing in Uzbekistan. Earlier, an employee of a beauty salon was harshly criticized by the public for dyeing a cat.
Such cases demand an increase in respect for animals and the implementation of legal measures. Therefore, citizens are urged to be cautious and responsible towards animals.
