In the Turkish province of Erzincan (east), the team to arrest the fugitive sacrifices of their owners undergoes heavy training such as running and shooting to gain strength and fitness.
The team consists of 10 people, trained by the municipality of Erzincan, equipped with anesthesia guns, a horse, a quad bike, and a "Drone" plane, to facilitate the arrest of the fugitive sacrifices in the shortest time.
During the training, the team learns how to deal with the sacrifice, and catch it by throwing a circular rope in its neck or drugging it when necessary.
This process requires the team to be strong, fit and light, so team members exercise to run twice a day to maintain their fitness and undergo sports training.
In an interview with the press, Arjan Tanri Wardi, director of veterinary affairs in the municipality of Erzincan, said that the municipality is carrying out these exercises periodically for the Al-Adhahi arrest team.
He explained that the main goal of the team is to capture the sacrifice without harming it, adding that the team will locate the sacrifice through the drone plane.
He stressed that the municipality trained the team to anesthetize the sacrifice through a sedative injection, which facilitated the arrest process.
For his part, Ertugrul Tally, who supervises the team’s training, said that the training is organized in the morning and afternoon, and stressed that the team will provide its services to citizens throughout the Eid al-Adha days, to arrest the fleeing sacrifices.
