Mass Culling of Pregnant Animals Alleged in Cyprus

The Cyprus Party for Animals has alleged mass culling of animals, including pregnant ones, in units showing no signs of foot-and-mouth disease. The party reports failures to follow procedures, transportation of animals in unsuitable vehicles, and burial of animals without proper euthanasia.

The party demands answers from the Cypriot government and the European Commission regarding the duration of restriction zones, the implementation of the "One Health" policy, and measures to combat foot-and-mouth disease. They also call for an end to the mass euthanasia of healthy animals, a review of crisis management, and ensured transparency.

The Cyprus Party for Animals demands immediate intervention and a change of course to protect livestock farming and animals.
