Two more poison control dogs are expected to arrive in Bulgaria today from Spain. Bulgaria becomes the first country in the Balkans to have poison control dogs in the Ministry of Interior. The Ministry of Interior has formed two teams with dogs to combat poisons in the wild.
In the last 6 years, there was only one team in Bulgaria which is part of the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds. Poison baits are the main reason for the extinction of a large part of the vulture population. More than 900 vultures have been poisoned to death in the Balkans in the last 20 years, but not a single case has ended up in court yet, because it is difficult to find the perpetrators. In 2021, a National Plan for Combatting Poisons was adopted, which envisages cooperation between the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Agriculture. Spain has the best instructors for training service dogs and those arriving in Bulgaria today have been trained for 6 months. There are also trained police officers who will work with them.
