  Farm animals banned from council flats in Kiev

  
  

  Farm animals have been banned from council flats in Kiev after a survey found residents were keeping more than 3,000 pigs, 500 cows and 1,000 goats.

  
  

  City authorities say the flats and especially the balconies were not designed for the weight of heavy animals like cows and that their urine was destroying the buildings.

  
  

  However, flat owners say the animals help keep the flats warm in winter, provide fertiliser for their allotments and much needed food.
