They were caught red handed in illegal shipment at the bus station

Antalya Metropolitan Municipality police and security teams prevented a large illegal shipment at the intercity bus terminal as part of the routine inspections they carried out throughout the city. Approximately 700 turkey and chicken chicks, which were transported to the city by bus from the province of Bursa in violation of legal regulations, were detected thanks to the attention of terminal security. During the initial examination, it was determined that the chicks did not have origin and transport documents.

Precautions Against the Risk of Epidemic Diseases

The teams took action after the poultry shipments without documentation pose risks of epidemic diseases, especially bird flu, which pose a great threat on a global and local scale. In order to protect public health and the livestock industry, hundreds of chicks with no origin information were immediately seized by police teams.

District Directorate of Agriculture Came into Action

The illegal live animals seized by the police and security officers were handed over to the Kepez District Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry teams in order to carry out the necessary administrative and health procedures. Legal action has been taken against individuals who transport chicks under quarantine and protection in violation of the legislation.
