Kirov residents were urged not to poke sticks at the cubs.
In spring, wild animals give birth to offspring. The Ministry of Natural Resources of the Kirov Region reminded what to do if a person encounters a calf of a moose, a hare, a capercaillie, a grouse, or another animal/bird in the forest.
The first and foremost thing is to not approach, not pet, not pick up, and especially not take them away. The young animals found are not abandoned: their parents are nearby. It is important to avoid making noise, poking with sticks, or throwing stones in an attempt to provoke the calf.
If you quietly leave the area, the mother will soon return and take her offspring. Otherwise, the animal will be doomed to die from hunger and cold or to live in captivity. It is also worth remembering that illegal removal of animals from their natural habitat is punishable, and in case of their death, the perpetrator is obliged to compensate for the damage.
