Lita Konopore, deputy head of the Small Animal Veterinarians Section of the Latvian Veterinary Association, told the LETA news agency that following the incident in which two dogs attacked children at a preschool institution in Carnikava, those responsible should have removed the dogs immediately.
According to Konopore, the most sensible course of action would have been to take the animals away from the site right away, with decisions about their further fate to be made only afterward. She stressed that what makes the current situation particularly worrying is the fact that the dogs involved in the attack on the children are still being kept near the kindergarten.
The source report does not provide further details about the incident itself — such as when it occurred, how many children were injured, or their current condition. It is also unclear who owns the dogs or what action, if any, authorities have taken or plan to take regarding the animals' future.
The veterinarian's comments suggest that the dogs have not yet been isolated, which she indicates poses an ongoing risk to children and others who frequent the area around the kindergarten.
