Tension at Farm in Larnaca: Livestock Farmers Refused to Euthanize Animals

Tension arose at a livestock farm in Larnaca when the owners refused to allow the euthanasia of animals, despite instructions from veterinary officials. These animals had survived a previous outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the area. The owners' refusal led to a minor disturbance, and the Police were called to the scene and remain there. The euthanasia of the animals was deemed necessary by the veterinary authorities to limit the spread of the disease.
