Campaigners will demonstrate in Paphos on Sunday at 4pm, urging the Cyprus government to enforce animal welfare laws strictly and pursue tougher prosecutions.
Paphos, Cyprus. Animal rights activists plan to assemble at Paphos harbour on Sunday to protest against cruelty to animals and to call for firmer application of animal welfare legislation. The demonstration is due to start at 4pm.
Organisers’ demands
In a Facebook post, the organisers asked why the poisoning, shooting and abandonment of animals continue on a daily basis, even though these acts are illegal. They said the protest aims to press the Cyprus government to enforce animal protection laws with “zero tolerance”.
Call for tougher prosecutions
The group urged the authorities to apply the animal welfare legislation in full. It also demanded stricter prosecutions and said it was seeking “justice for animals”.
