The shooting of foxes has been allowed in the Semyonovsky district.

      On June 4, 2026, 18:57 Society In the Semenovsky district, the shooting of foxes has been authorized. This decision was made by the Ministry of Forestry of the Nizhny Novgorod region. The order has been posted on the website for the official publication of regulatory acts. The shooting will take place from June 2 to July 1, 2026, in the hunting grounds of the hunting societies "Sormovskoe" and "Priroda" in the Semenovsky district. There are no restrictions on the number, sex, or age of the animals. The ministry explained that this measure is necessary to prevent a potential threat to the health of residents. The basis for this was a request from the Ivanovo territorial department of the Semenovsky district administration and a memo from the relevant interdistrict department for the protection and control of hunting resources. Previously, the shooting of predators was allowed in the Ardatovsky municipal district after a quarantine was declared due to rabies in the villages of Rizadeevo and Mikheevka.
