Video footage surfaced on social networks, showing hungry wolves wandering in Kirkkizabad village in Pskent district of Tashkent province. The press service of the district mayor’s office commented on this information.
Kirkkizabad village is located in a mountainous area, so every winter, especially when snow falls in the mountains, wild animals, including wolves, enter populated areas, the administration explained.
“Special hunt group was deployed to the area today from early morning to catch the wild animals. Currently, the search and neutralization of wolves is underway,” the message says.
The captured wolves are planned to be sent to the zoo, where conditions close to their natural habitat will be created, the Pskent district mayor’s office said. Reportedly, so far no damage has been caused to the local people.
