Technical Analysis 'Burns' Four Over Turtle Abuse

Published January 16, 2026, 05:26

The 'Volunteers for Animals' organization is revisiting the case of a turtle abuse in Chlorakas, following the release of a video showing employees of the Community Council throwing the turtle. Although the turtle was already dead, the organization emphasizes that this act is unacceptable and submits a technical analysis of the video to the relevant authorities (Police, Fisheries Department, Veterinary Services). The analysis refutes the employees' claims of an accident, arguing that the throw was deliberate and with applied force. The organization demands the immediate dismissal and criminal prosecution of those involved, characterizing their behavior as an attempt at a cover-up.
