Over 300,000 sign petition for conductor's dismissal as Russian rail operator vows to change regulations.

Twix, a pet cat, was thrown off a train by a conductor in Russia, leading to its death in freezing temperatures.
The conductor, who has not been publicly identified, reportedly mistook Twix for a stray after it escaped from its travel crate.
Following the incident, hundreds of volunteers searched for Twix, eventually finding its body; it is believed to have died from the cold and possible animal bites.
Over 300,000 people have signed a petition calling for the conductor's dismissal, and another petition with over 100,000 signatures demands a criminal investigation.
Russian state train operator RZhD has expressed regret over the incident and announced changes to its regulations, including a prohibition on conductors disembarking animals from trains.
