Volunteers affected by dog neglect often behave disproportionately, enter foreign territory, use physical force and make noise during off hours. According to the police representative, Ramūnas Matonis, if a criminal act is suspected, it should be reported to the police. According to him, volunteers should not decide problems for themselves, because such actions can be held responsible.
As of September 5, 6 pre-trial investigations have been initiated. Since the beginning of the year, around 70.
“If a person damages other people’s private property, property, invades the house without any grounds, uses physical force, there is a responsibility for it. Liability for infractions of the law is also established: noise, barricades, infractions of traffic regulations, public order ”, says R. Matatonis.
