In a statement, the Cyprus Animal Party expresses its deep outrage at the inaction of the relevant authorities regarding the problem of packs of stray dogs entering from the occupied territories and the buffer zone, threatening areas such as Agios Dometios and Strovolos.
In its statement, the Party reports that on Tuesday evening, more than 20 dogs attacked a kitten. Volunteers formed a human shield to protect it and took it for medical treatment, but the animal succumbed to its injuries on Wednesday morning. According to the party, the volunteers who called the police were referred to the municipalities and communities.

The party notes that it has proposed to the Municipality of Latsia the procurement of Netgun-type devices for the safe capture of dogs by trained personnel. The proposal, despite an initial positive response, has not been implemented, it notes. The party calls on the government, the ministries, and local authorities to immediately assume their responsibilities and draw up a coordinated action plan for the safe management of packs, the protection of citizens, and animal welfare.
