Animal Party: "Insufficient" Management of Cat Disappearance Cases

The Animal Party of Cyprus expresses its concern over the increase in reports of cat disappearances and describes the management of the cases by the police as insufficient. The party states that there is evidence of possible organized action related to the abduction of cats, either for exploitation or export abroad. It points out that the lack of microchips in animals does not negate human responsibility for their protection and the obligation to investigate possible offenses. The party refers to reports of a woman using a van to abduct cats in Cyprus. The Animal Party of Cyprus calls on the authorities to take the reports seriously and intensify investigations to protect animals and prevent further incidents.
