Five ministers signed a joint ministerial decision (KYA) on Tuesday to protect wildlife from poisoned baits, after several incidents this year involving bears and vultures, ANA reports. The decision sets out rules and procedures for local services to check for poisoned baits, record incidents on a database, and conduct necropsies on dead animals, as well as inform local farmers and landowners, among other things. Particular mention is made in the KYA on establishing special units for patrolling to discover poisoned baits, while five Belgian sheepdogs completed their training early in July and will be available for patrols.
