Abaza residents raised money to encourage bear-protecting hunters

Under the administration of Abaza, an account was opened for donations for hunters' events after appeals from local residents and the operational headquarters of the commission for the prevention and elimination of emergencies and ensuring fire safety, the Abaza City Hall reported, according to the head of the city Valentina Filimonova.

In a few days, people collected more than 300 thousand rubles.

At the operational headquarters, this money was decided to be used to encourage hunters who protect the municipality from the invasion of bears, and the remaining funds to purchase a thermal imaging sight for hunting.
