Livestock Farmers Protest Animal Culling in Oroklini, Cyprus

Livestock farmers in Oroklini gathered early in the morning to protest the planned culling of animals on farms where cases of foot-and-mouth disease have been detected. The farmers, prepared through social media, blocked a road with a tractor, preventing access to the area. The protest is peaceful, but they strongly oppose the policy they believe 'buries Cypriot livestock farming'. Police forces are present at the scene. The protest began after a farmer was informed about the impending culling of his animals.
