YEREVAN. – Three unknown people are hunting bezoar goats in the area of Jermuk, near Kechout reservoir, Ecolur website reported.

The alert was received from ecologist Lyuba Balyan who is currently examining the migration of birds in this area.

“I can’t shoot the hunters on the camera: they are rather far from and I can see them with a telescope. They used to be four, but now they are three. The bezoar goats went down to the drinking place, they shot, but missed, so bezoar goats could hide,” Lyuba Balyan told Ecolur.

The observers phoned the State Environmental Inspection, who promised to send its employees to the scene.

Bezoar goats or wild goats are listed as vulnerable in the 1996 IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals.
