While the world has been imposing sanctions on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine, an interna-tional body has gone a step ahead and has imposed a ban on Russian cats.
As reported by NDTV, the Federation Interna-tionale Feline (FIFe), an international cat fancier society, has declared that it will not allow any Rus-sian cats to be imported, registered, and enter any of its shows outside of Russia. Their decision was a way of condemning Russia’s violence against Ukraine.
FIFe announced that from March 1, “no cat bred in Russia may be imported and registered in any FIFe pedigree book outside Russia, regardless of, which organisation issued its pedigree.”
It further said that any cat who is owned by a Russian cannot enter a FIFe show outside of Russia, adding that restrictions are valid until May 31. The destruction and chaos caused after Russia waged a war by invading Ukraine is evident to eve-ryone, said FIFe. —Reuters
