Farmers Prepare Legal Challenges Over Animal Culls Due to Foot-and-Mouth Disease

Cypriot farmers held a meeting regarding the issue of foot-and-mouth disease and the resulting animal culls. They decided to give the Government until Tuesday to respond to questions they will submit, while simultaneously preparing mass appeals to the courts, seeking an order to halt or terminate the culls. As part of their protest, farmers blocked roads in Oroklini and placed a coffin on the roof of a vehicle, in a symbolic act of protest.
