Ukrzaliznytsia and UAnimals plan to update the rules for the transportation of animals on trains. This was reported by UAnimals, UNN.
Details
The organization UAnimals has announced that it will work with Ukrzaliznytsia to develop updated rules for the transportation of animals by rail. The impetus for this was the case of a military manwho had to spend 2 hours in the vestibule of an Intercity train with his service Labrador because of the ban on transporting animals taller than 45 centimeters at the withers in a common carriage.
This rule is in effect not because of a conditional danger, but because of the lack of space in the passenger luggage compartments and discomfort for the animals themselves. The National Guard added that the serviceman voluntarily stood in the vestibule because he did not want to break the rules, and he did not have time to wait for a compartment car to travel with the Labrador
According to the report, Ukrzaliznytsia and UAnimals plan to jointly update some outdated provisions of train travel rules to provide a more inclusive environment for passengers with animals. In addition, they have planned a social campaign that will encourage passengers without animals to show more humanity and understanding to passengers with animals.
The rules are there to be followed, but sometimes realities make it necessary to revise the rules. We are glad that Ukrzaliznytsia supports this
Recall
A National Guard soldier was forced to stand in the vestibule with his Labrador service dog for more than 2.5 hours because he was not allowed into the carriage due to the dog's large size. This caused a negative reaction to the outdated rules for the transportation of animals on trains in Ukraine.
