Bulgaria has made its first steps toward the creation of an animal police service, MEP Emil Radev has said.
With a special decree signed June 25, pretrial proceedings on animal-related cases will be assigned to certain Interior Ministry employees who will specialize in providing assistance to the investigation. These will include a regular police officer and an investigator.
In his address to the national Parliament on Thursday, Radev said the aim was to create a specialized unit that would act faster and would be better organized so that people who kill, torture or violate the rights of animals bear legal responsibility.
There were several instances of brutality on animals in the past few months, and some of them occurred while children were around.
The campaign to create an animal police unit has been supported by several prominent media outlets.
According to Radev, the Bulgarian unit will be modelled after the one that has been operating in the Netherlands for many years.
According to the Four Paws Foundation cited by national media outlets, the step will also boost animal crime prevention.
