The search for the panther that alarmed the authorities in Shumen continues, BNT reported.
Traces of the wild animal were found in the Shumen plateau area, but the attempt to capture the big cat failed, despite the efforts of experts and police.
Access to the nature park remains restricted to cars and pedestrians. Hours after the report of the dangerous animal was filed, a warning was sent through the BG-Alert system to residents of the Shumen region not to visit the area. The teams found traces of the animal in the area of Divdyadovskite Skali.
The Zoo in Varna sent three specialists to sedate the animal after it was discovered.
The breeding of wild cats in domestic conditions is prohibited. Work is underway to identify the person who took care of the black panther. The prosecutor's office will also be notified.
