In 2024, 4,947 cases were registered at attacks by stray animals in Armenia. The RA Ministry of Health has submitted such statistics in response to the inquiry of the NA deputy Garnik Danielyan on the attacks of the stray animals by stray animals.

Almost 5,000 cases recorded in one year are crying statistics. The lack of policy aimed at controlling the number of stray animals will lead to new such cases. Meanwhile, we need to act a day before. The question concerns people's lives and health, "the MP said.
