Animal Party Files Complaint Over Pony Death at Christmas Village

The Animal Party has accused the organizers of a Christmas village in Cyprus of negligence following the death of a pony used during the events. The party claims the pony likely died from the cold or improper nutrition and is calling for an investigation by the Police, Veterinary Services, and local authorities. Furthermore, they allege that necessary procedures regarding permits, stabling, and animal welfare were not followed, and that the pony's carcass was disposed of without any investigation into the circumstances of its death or assignment of responsibility.
