Funds for hunting wolves should be allocated to conduct scientific research, environmentalist says
Environmentalist Silva Adamyan warns that in spite of the fact that hunting of the wolves has been carried out for several years, the cases of wolf attacks on households have increased.
“From the very beginning we warned that killing wolves would not tackle the issue of the attacks on farmers and cattle. We were proven right through the course of time,” the environmentalist noted.
Instead of wolf hunting the specialist calls on to allocate the funds intended for hunting wolves to the scientists, so as they manage to study for instance why more frequent wolf attacks occur in Gegharkunik and Syunik regions.
“The research would provide very interesting results. However no one is willing to provide funds for scientific research and tackle the issue in accordance with the results of such a study,” she added.
