EcoLur- “We Won’t Keep Silence” Youth Initiative
“We Won’t Keep Silence” Youth Initiative presents the research conducted by English Pro Paws Animal Welfare Charity Armenian Representative Nare Aramyan on the program implemented by Yerevan Municipality on stray dogs.
According to the official data, in 2006-2010 and January-February of this year (5 years 2 months) certain actions were enforced towards 121.027 dogs, out of which 36.127 dogs were sterilized, 1.374 – put down, and 83.526 were 'neutralized', i.e. killed.
In the past 6 months Yerevan Municipality assigned 180 million AMD (half a million USD) to 'Unigraph-X' LLC through the contest declared by the Agency for State Purchases each year. By the way, Armenia is the only country in the list of poor countries that assigns such significant funds to stray animals.
