AKIPRESS.COM - In last 10 days, 5 jackals and 6 wolves were killed and 21 wolf cubs were captured in Kadamjai district of Osh, Alay Bedelov, head of the hunters association of the Kadamjai said.
According to the laws, these 21 wolf cubs will be kept alive for 6 months and then will be shot, Bedelov said.

Therefore, hunters often bump into wolf cubs during the prophylactic shooting, which is needed to prevent predators attacking the domestic animals of the local residents. In the last 3 months, according to Bedelov, predators killed over 40 sheep, 20 foals, and 30 yaks.
According to the government resolution dated 26 February 2016 on the number of wolves and jackals in Kyrgyzstan, the government introduced bonus payments for shooting the predators that pose threat to human health and bring material damages to people by attacking their domestic animals: 6000 soms per 1 wolf, 1,500 soms per one wolf cub, and 2000 per jackal.
