If you have a dog or a cat you can register it in the Animal Lovers
Club for 2000 drams, where the animal can enjoy the services of the
Club – medical treatment, surgery, upbringing, hair dressing.
1000 animals are registered in the Club at the moment.
The Club does not get financial assistance from the government and
survives on the income from the zoo stores founded by the mentioned
Club.
"Our level regarding this issue is very low. If kinology, science
about dogs, is developed in a country then the country is considered
developed", said Violeta Gabrielyan, head of "Stork" Club to A1+.
She thinks that if the social conditions were better in Armenia,
many would keep animals. "There is a certain class in Armenia that
hardly survives. How can they keep a dog?"
Many dogs were operated on for suffering from cancer.
The surgery proved that one from 100 dogs died after surgery. They
lived on their natural life after operation. The aim of the Club is
to protect dogs.
Violeta Gabrielyan says that the Club cannot afford organizing
exhibitions of dogs since they need to invite experts from abroad
and that demands great expenses.
By the way, they intend to organize an exhibition to find
sponsors. During the exhibition the animals will compete in their
behaviors, hair cuts etc.
