Silva Adamyan: They kill a bear or a leopard and sell them for a million. (video)
The hunt of two white-headed vultures is not the only case that has recently happened. Killing the animals registered in the Red Book is a regularly commited crime. Simply, the society is not informed about it. Mild punishment is established for such crimes: money penalty, which does not deter the animal killers. Environmentalist Silva Adamyan thinks that it is necessary to tighten the penalties for such crimes. "The worst thing is that we found this out after ten years, and after ten years, those people have to pay 500000 AMD and then they will be free. It is possible for them to kill a bear or a leopard and sell them for a million. One million does not mean anything to them. They can pay it very easily. The Ministry of Nature Protection and Government should take serious steps in legislation, I have propose imprisonment."
