Chlorakas Community Council Statement Regarding Turtle Abuse Incident

The Chlorakas Community Council expressed its regret over a video that circulated showing council workers allegedly involved in an incident of turtle abuse, which is being investigated by the Paphos Police. The council stated that the incident does not represent its values and way of working, as animal abuse is not acceptable. According to established practice, workers went to the area to remove a turtle that appeared to be dead. The Community Council will await the results of the police investigation and scientific examinations in order to consider disciplinary measures if findings emerge.
