The Animal Party expresses strong concern over the recent outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in Cyprus. The party condemns the mass killing of animals and points to potential shortcomings in health measures. If the allegations of delayed action and inadequate measures are true, the party believes there are serious responsibilities.
