In the city of Angren, Tashkent region, a stray dog that caused the death of an 8-year-old child has been caught. Following the tragic incident, the regional administration has significantly strengthened control and capture operations for stray animals in the area. As a result of urgent measures taken by the Angren city landscaping department, the dog that attacked the child was located and placed in a special holding facility.

An emergency meeting was held regarding this horrific event with the participation of responsible agencies, including the veterinary department and the sanitary-epidemiological welfare service.

Such unfortunate incidents occurring recently further increase the need to control the situation with stray animals in the regions.
