Residents of the village were asked to be especially vigilant and contact veterinarians at the slightest sign of illness in their pets. All pets in the area are recommended to be vaccinated against rabies.

And what else to do if the police did not find whose remains and carcasses of cattle lie a few dozen meters from the farm!?” residents of the Ustye write.
