One dead wolf brings hunter $1,000 in Siberia

07.02.2013 17:00

In Yakutia's Khangalassky region (Siberia), the head of one killed wolf will bring hunters the extra profit of 10,000 rubles ($300), in addition to the already approved reward of 20,000 rubles ($600) from the republic. Thus, killing one wolf in Yakutia returns the profit of 30,000 rubles ($1,000).

Officials of the district administration said that "the decision was taken by the municipality in order to better organize the regulation of the number of gray predators on the territory of the Khangalassky ulus (region)."

For the time being, there are seven mobile teams in the area that hunt for wolves. The Ministry intends to create about 140 teams of wolf hunters. The President of Yakutia, Yegor Borisov, declared a three-month period in the republic to reduce the number of gray predators.

The Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic developed the procedure for hunting wolves. The most popular type of hunting involves aircraft. Traditional ground hunting and hunting with the use of poisons are strictly prohibited.

The official newspaper of the Russian government, Rossiyskaya Gazeta (Russian Newspaper) has published the text of the "Dima Yakovlev Law," which prohibits U.S. citizens to adopt young Russians. The document will come into force in three days - on January 1, 2013.

The full title of the law is "On measures against persons involved in violations of fundamental human rights and freedoms, rights and freedoms of citizens of the Russian Federation." President Vladimir Putin signed the law on Friday, December 28, 2012.

The law also provides for the suspension of "political" NGOs that receive funds from U.S. citizens. In addition, the citizens of the Russian Federation holding U.S. citizenship, are forbidden to lead nonprofit organizations under the new law.

Meanwhile, a United Russia deputy, Robert Schlegel, suggested an amendment to the "law of Dima Yakovlev." According to the deputy, the law may not embrace the adoptions of disabled children by Americans.

When the bill was discussed in the State Duma, Schlegel was among those MPs who supported the ban on adoptions.

Until recently, according to the Russian law, prospective adoptive parents from the U.S. could adopt only those Russian orphans, who could not find Russian foster families. As a rule, these are the children with serious health problems.
