Animal Welfare Organizations Submit Memorandum to President Regarding 'Inaction'

Animal welfare organizations and parties, specifically the Animal Party of Cyprus and the Green Party of Cyprus, along with the Cyprus Animal Welfare Society and Green Shield, submitted a memorandum to the President of the Republic, Nikos Christodoulides, expressing their dissatisfaction with the government's lack of action on animal protection and welfare issues. The memorandum points out that pre-election commitments, particularly Chapter 7 on animal welfare, have not been implemented, characterizing this as 'unjustified inaction' and 'institutional indifference'. The organizations are calling for immediate action, a timeline for implementing commitments, and public accountability. The view is expressed that the image of Cyprus internationally is not judged by titles and presidencies, but by its actions domestically. The need for immediate action, rather than further promises, is emphasized in order for the memorandum to be taken seriously. The announcement concludes by expressing the hope that the memorandum will receive due attention and lead to concrete actions to improve animal welfare in Cyprus.
