Hello, Habib!

The head of the British organization PETA Eliza Allen addressed UFC concerning video about fight of the champion of UFC Habib Nurmagomedov with a bear.
"PETA calls on the UFC to reconsider its relationship with Mr. Nurmagomedov until he changes his behavior and starts treating animals with the respect they deserve. Fighting a bear on a chain is disgusting behaviour that speaks to a lack of respect and misunderstanding of the animals," said Ms. Allen.
Possibility of punishment of the Russian fighter on the mixed single combats depends first of all on the agreement signed by UFC with the athlete. Certain clauses of the contract may contain requirements for the behavior of the wrestler in everyday life, including sanctions for ethical violations.
From the point of view of the Russian legislation the situation can be considered in the context of article 245 of the criminal code, which establishes liability for cruelty to animals.
Under the cruel treatment of animals, in relation to this article, means causing him pain and (or) suffering, as well as from hooligan motives and (or) selfish motives, which led to his death or injury. Based on the publicly available video, clearly signs of a crime in The actions of H. Nurmagomedov are not seen.
