The Animal Welfare Action
Animal protection authorities in Kainuu include municipal veterinarians, welfare veterinarian as well as the police. They are assisted by KESY’s animal welfare advisors, who are volunteer civilians who have sworn secrecy.
If an animal needs help immediately, please contact the authority. Immediate intervention is necessary for example in the following situations:
- Animal is abused physically
- Animal is starving or without water
- Animal is kept in too hot or cold conditions
- Animal is shut up to the balcony
If you need any assistance or you are unsure if the case is acute/urgent, please contact the welfare vet or KESY’s animal welfare advisor (KESY’s call phone).
Such a case may be when, for example:
- You suspect there is a puppy mill
- You suspect that a pet doesn’t get enough exercise
- You suspect that a pet is kept in runs that does not meet the regulations
- You suspect the production facilities to be contrary to the regulations
You can make animal welfare a notification at KESY’s website. Helping injured wild animals is a civic duty and acutely needy animals should be immediately notified at the emergency services.
Injured wild animals can taken free of charge to the municipal veterinarian’s office and outside office hours to on duty veterinarian’s office.
