Inspection Body Issues Clarification Regarding Fox Photo Connected to Chicken Coop

A Facebook user, Ani Avetisyan, published a photo on January 21, 2021, captioned "Fox, village Lusarat, our chicken coop," where the animal was seen tied up.

The Environmental and Mining Inspection Body's Ararat Territorial Division inspectors immediately traveled to the Lusarat community of Ararat province and met with Ani Avetisyan and her father, Vahagn Avetisyan. In the clarification provided to the inspectors, Vahagn mentioned that he had discovered the fox in a well located near his home, wet and helpless.

Vahagn brought the animal out of the well, moved it to his backyard, ensuring that it was unharmed and already dry, and subsequently released the fox into the wild.

The Environmental and Mining Inspection Body's Ararat Territorial Division urges individuals not to take matters into their own hands in similar cases and to contact them immediately at their office located in the city of Vedi, Tumanyan 6, phone number 060 40 88 01.
