Is microchipping ineffective? Discover why the number of stray dogs is increasing in Kazakhstan.
Member of the Mazhilis, Edil Zhanbyrshin, stated that following the implementation of mandatory microchipping for pets, the number of stray dogs has actually increased. He made this remark during a roundtable discussion focused on the draft law "On Responsible Animal Care," as reported by Orda.kz.

Janbyrshin emphasized that the number of stray animals in Kazakhstan's cities continues to increase.
“As soon as we started demanding accountability from pet owners, the process of abandoning dogs and cats began. This trend is supported by statistics. We hoped to address the issue of responsibility through microchipping, but it turned out that this method is ineffective,” the deputy added.
Edil Janbyrshin called for a more comprehensive approach to regulating the responsibilities that pet owners must bear.
The situation with stray dogs in Kazakhstan is indeed serious. Recently, we reported that a five-year-old girl was taken to intensive care after being attacked by a pack of stray dogs in Uralsk.
