Crocodiles, bears, lions, apes, cobras and scorpions, as well as other large predators and poisonous creatures, are now the subject of a ban from being kept as pets in Russia, to safeguard the health of both ‘owner’ and animal. 现在俄罗斯出台一项禁令，禁止饲养鳄鱼、熊、狮子、猿类、眼镜蛇和蝎子，还有其他大型食肉动物和有毒生物做宠物，这是为了保护“主人”和动物的健康。 Such beasts pose dangers to people, while apartments or country houses differ greatly from the natural habitats of the animals, a difference that “may affect their health negatively, even causing death,” a new act, signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on Friday, reads. 梅德韦杰夫总理周五签署的新法令中说，这些猛兽会对人类构成威胁，公寓或乡村别墅都和这些动物的自然栖息地差别很大，而这种差别“可能会对它们的健康不利，甚至会导致它们死亡”。 Large predators such as bears, wolves, lions, tigers, lynxes and others are among the species to benefit from the new protections. 大型肉食动物如熊、狼、狮子、老虎、猞猁等都会获益于这项新的保护措施。 The ban also includes crocodiles and carnivore turtles, Komodo Dragons, bearded lizards and other reptiles. 该禁令还包括鳄鱼和食肉龟、科莫多龙、须鬣蜥和其他爬行动物。 |
