Two Dead Cows Found in Oroklini – Concerns for Public Health and Environment

A local organization has raised concerns about the risks posed by dead animals in Oroklini, calling for intervention from the authorities. Two dead cows were recently found exposed in a rural area on the Oroklini – Agia Marina Xyliatou road, announced the Oroklini Ecological and Cultural Intervention, speaking of serious risks to public health and the environment. In a letter to the Minister of Agriculture, the organization calls for immediate intervention from the competent authorities. "This incident, in conditions of an epidemiological alert, constitutes a serious risk to public health and demonstrates dangerous gaps in the control and intervention mechanism," the announcement states, adding that this is not an isolated incident. The Oroklini Ecological and Cultural Intervention argues that the incident is part of a broader framework of similar incidents in the area, which, it says, are linked to the operation of illegal livestock units and the inadequate implementation of environmental and health legislation. It calls, among other things, for an investigation into the incident and a full inspection of the units.
