Stranded Citizens with Pets in Dubai: Complaint by Two Parties Against Airlines – “They are Asking People to Abandon Their Animals”

The Green Party of Cyprus and the Animal Party of Cyprus are reporting that approximately 50 Greek and Cypriot citizens remain stranded in Dubai, as airlines refuse to transport them with their pets. The parties accuse the companies of indifference, insensitivity and lack of humanity, insisting that they are asking people to abandon their animals. They believe that animals are members of the family and not just luggage. They demand an immediate solution to the problem and threaten public denunciation and disclosure of the companies that refuse to transport the animals.
