Ecologists movement demands investigation into cat shootings in Lakatamia

The Ecologists movement has called for an official investigation into reports of cats being shot in a residential area of Lakatamia, Nicosia. According to the movement, three cats were shot in the same yard over recent years, resulting in two deaths and one survivor requiring surgery. The organization states that despite multiple complaints to authorities, no substantive investigation has taken place so far. They argue that the use of a firearm or hunting rifle in a residential zone poses a significant threat to public safety. The movement is urging for the activation of the animal police unit and the implementation of stricter surveillance and enforcement measures. They emphasized that these actions are necessary to address both animal welfare concerns and the ongoing risks to local residents.
