AWARD 2019

In Zelenogradsk, known as the city of cats, the first international award "My affectionate and necessary animal" was launched in 2019.

​The candidates for victory were animals from all over the world, famous in the media and on the Internet. The geography of the participants was very extensive — a total of 14 candidates from 8 regions of Russia and 5 foreign countries — Georgia, Bolivia, India, Great Britain and Thailand.

In the special nomination for animal rights activists "Responsible for those ..." the competition was also very serious. 16 candidates from 11 Russian regions from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok and 2 foreign countries (Great Britain and Switzerland) claimed to win it. These are representatives of animal protection organizations, scientists and just residents of the planet who have distinguished themselves most in the protection of the animal world.
