Russians Brought Chickens to MFCs for Registration
In the end, the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Welfare of Citizens had to separately ask Russians not to bring birds there: "Komsomolskaya Pravda" even published a separate instruction on whether one should bring chickens to a multifunctional center for registration.
Consensus
- Russia's Rosselkhoznadzor asked citizens not to bring chickens to Multi-Functional Centers (MFC) for registration.
- Citizens had been bringing chickens to MFCs in response to new rules requiring registration of poultry.
- MFCs do not participate in animal registration or have access to veterinary information systems.
- Poultry owners must register their animals with regional state veterinary services.
- The deadline for registering more than ten chickens is 1 September 2026, and for fewer than ten, it is 1 September 2029.
Points of divergence
- The information about registration deadlines spread quickly on social media, and some users recorded videos of transporting chickens to MFCs, possibly as part of internet memes. — tg_thenewtab
