Erzurum's Animal Protection Council banned feeding stray animals on the streets province-wide. The decision was made on the grounds of preventing reproduction and living areas.
At the meeting chaired by Governor Aydın Baruş, it was decided that inspections would be carried out by the mukhtars, police and gendarmerie. The operation of the shelter belonging to the Pasin Plain Municipalities Union was suspended until it is brought into compliance with the legislation.
