Inquiries Raised Over Pony's Death at Christmas Events

The Animal Party of Cyprus is raising serious concerns regarding the death of a pony during Christmas events in Kellaki. According to the complaint, two ponies were transported to the area for festive activities, but one died under unclear circumstances. The party fears the death may be due to low temperatures or improper feeding, while also highlighting the lack of controls and failure to follow procedures for animal welfare. Furthermore, the Animal Party alleges that the pony's carcass was buried without any investigation or intervention from the competent authorities, without any explanations being sought or responsibilities assigned. This lack of transparency and indifference to animal welfare is causing significant concern. The party is calling on the Kellaki Community Council, the Veterinary Services, and the Moni Police Station to immediately investigate the case and determine the circumstances of the pony's death. It also demands that responsibility be assigned to those accountable for the negligence and failure to conduct checks. This case highlights the need for stricter controls and enforcement of relevant laws to protect animals during events and activities. The Animal Party is committed to closely monitoring the progress of the case and keeping the public informed of any new developments.
