Yakutia UFAS Rules 'Zoopolis' Poisoning Claims False, 'Zoolend' Files Unfair Competition Complaint
The Yakutia Republic's Anti-Monopoly Service (UFAS) has ruled that claims of poisoning at 'Zoopolis' mini-zoo were false, causing harm to 'Zoolend's' reputation. The director of 'Zoolend' has since filed a complaint about unfair competition.
In June 2021, a dead pet goat was discovered at 'Zoopolis' in Yakutsk, with signs pointing to poisoning. The director of 'Zoopolis' suspected competitors from 'Zoolend' and accused 'the Armenian' of involvement. However, UFAS investigations found no evidence to support these claims. The original target was believed to be the kangaroo, a rare and expensive animal unique to Yakutia.
UFAS has since recognized 'Zoopolis' as violating the Law on Protection of Competition. They have ordered 'Zoopolis' to cease unfair competition practices.
The false poisoning claims have been dismissed, and 'Zoopolis' has been found guilty of unfair competition. 'Zoolend' has filed a complaint, seeking justice and compensation for the harm caused to their reputation.
