Pack of eight stray dogs attracts attention near a kindergarten in Peshtera

A large group of eight stray dogs appeared near a kindergarten in Peshtera, a citizen signaled via the social network Facebook. Dragomir Teterekov posted a photo of the animals on September 4 and urged the Peshtera Municipality to check the situation and take the necessary actions.

According to him, the pack is located in the area of the kindergarten near “Biovet” – a place through which parents with children, people about to go to work, and residents pass every day. “One stray dog is a problem, but when it comes to an entire pack, the danger is quite different and should not be underestimated,” writes Teterekov.

He notes that it is impossible to predict the animals’ reaction when a child, a pet, or a cyclist passes by and a sudden noise occurs. The author of the post calls on municipal staff to conduct an on-site inspection and to take actions according to the established procedure.

“Especially when it concerns an area in close proximity to a kindergarten, the response should be timely, and not after something has already happened,” he adds.

Teterekov emphasizes that his appeal is not for harming the animals, but for solving the problem in a humane and legal manner. “Stray animals also need care and control, and citizens, especially children, have the right to move about calmly and safely,” he writes.

In the comments section under the post, a discussion about the problem began. Some local users noted that they are seeing the mentioned pack for the first time, while others expressed skepticism about the content of the signal and the municipality’s actions.

Peshtera Municipality informs that within the city limits there is an adopted Regulation for controlling the population of stray dogs. GlasNews’s check shows the presence of this provision on the municipal site, and it remains to be clarified what specific steps will be taken in response to the signal.
