are also other animals such as goats and wild boars that may be hunted
in small numbers and with special permission.

about 60 kinds of animals, birds and fish have been allowed for
hunting. The hunting of animals considered as harmful such as stray
dogs and cats, grey crows, magpies, wolves and jackals is allowed in
unlimited numbers during the whole huting season.
The criminal responsibility envisaged for hunting the animals included

example, a fine of up to 3 million drams (about 9 thousand dollars) is
envisaged for hunting Armenian moufflon, chamois, panther, and
Caucasian bear.

has been extended until January 31 during this hunting season. He gave
