Baku / 27.08.20 / Turan: On Thursday the police stopped the action of animal defenders in the Narimanov district of the capital, detaining two of its participants.
The action was held in connection with the killing of six stray dogs in the area of abandoned construction sites near Ziya Bunyatov Avenue, not far from the hospital of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
According to the organizer of the action Nijat Ismayilov, the dogs were vaccinated, neutered, healthy and did not pose a threat to others. Volunteers periodically fed them.
