Cat Found with Gun Pellet Lodged in Nose – Ecologists Demand Investigation and Punishment

The Ecologists' Movement denounces a new case of animal abuse in Acheleia, where a cat was found with a gun pellet lodged in its nose. The Movement demands an immediate investigation into the incident, the identification and exemplary punishment of those responsible, and the intensification of controls by the competent authorities. In addition, they call for the operation of the Animal Police, pointing out its absence and lack of response to reports of abuse. They emphasize the need to create an independent body, the “Animal Police”, with the sole mission of protecting animals.
