Experienced hunter sent to Zolotitsa to protect residents from bears

He replaced the specialists who returned to Arkhangelsk. Predators have recently become more frequent in the Upper and Lower Golden and posed a real danger to people. Deputy Prime Minister Igor Muraev noted that the new hunter knows the habits of bears and has equipment to work at night, when the animals are most active. He also reported on the tragedy in the Pinega district: last weekend near the village of Pinega, a bear seriously injured a hunter who was not directed by forestry and did not participate in organized work; the man died, his body and gun were found. Earlier, there was no information about the exits of bears in Pinega, attacks on people have not been recorded since 1978. The Ministry of Natural Resources of the region decided to shoot off a dangerous predator - volunteers with permits were involved. Residents are urged not to try to track down or chase the bear and report its appearance on the number 112.
