Hearing the Brutal News Early in the Morning was Twice as Painful: Council Member
The member of Yerevan Council from the "My Step" faction, Izabella Abgaryan, wrote on her Facebook page that the death of three kangaroos is a significant loss for the zoo. "Hearing the brutal news early in the morning was twice as painful because I also feel a personal responsibility for what happened. On one hand, we are humanitarianly neutralizing dogs to preserve their lives, while on the other hand, we could not protect three kangaroos. Packs are winning due to their numerical advantage. Yes, the Animal Neutralization Organization is working to the maximum of its strengths, but this does not allow us at this stage to ensure the protection of the people of Yerevan from pack attacks. The second problem pertains to the zoo area itself, which is not fenced to this day. Although the issue has been raised and work has begun, the problem of time has once again played its grim role. We have encountered a very tragic reality."
