The Movement of Ecologists – Citizens’ Cooperation on Wednesday urged authorities to investigate reports of cats with burnt and bloodied tails in Nicosia.
In a statement, the party said that its animal action group received information from residents about the injured cats in the Agios Antonios area.
“The possibility that these horrific incidents were caused by human hands is glaringly obvious,” the party stated.
It added that it has filed a complaint with the local police and urged anyone with information to come forward.
“Crimes against animals continue, and it is now a societal demand that the guilty be punished and brought to justice,” the party’s statement read.
Expressing dismay at the situation, the party added, “It is unacceptable and shameful that in 2024 we are faced with such behaviours. We do not deserve to be called a civilised people when our treatment of animals is like this.”
