Biologist museographer Silviu Ţicu found on Thursday, May 2, six weasels killed and thrown in Sub Arini Park.
The biologist of the Natural History Museum in Sibiu, Silviu Țicu, accidentally discovered six ferrets killed in cold blood and thrown into a stream in Sub Arini Park. The biologist posted the photo of the killed ferrets on the “Helping Romania” group, which caused numerous reactions. “Unfortunately, too many people do not differentiate between a weasel and a snake, “Speechless,” are some of the netizens’ reactions. Others came up with another hypothesis, that by which the weasels would have been hunted by some predator, but the biologist excludes this variant “being all cut in two and decomposed and next to it there were scraps and garbage”.
Killing a snake can have serious consequences for the person who does this gesture. Snakes are animals protected both by the European Legislation (Habitats Directive) and by the Romanian one (OG 57/2007 and Law no. 49/2011), and the sampling, capture or killing of the species provided in the annexes of the legal act is punishable by imprisonment from 3 months to a year or with a criminal fine from 30 thousand lei to 60 thousand lei.
