Investigation called into alleged abuse of a kitten at a Limassol school

The Movement of Ecologists – Citizens’ Cooperation has formally requested a full investigation into reports of animal abuse at a school in Limassol, Cyprus, which allegedly occurred around October 13, 2026. According to social media reports cited by the party, a group of male students physically assaulted and kicked a kitten. Despite efforts by a female student to rescue the animal and transport it to a veterinarian, the kitten reportedly died from its injuries.

The political movement expressed strong condemnation of the act, asserting that violence against animals cannot be treated as a trivial matter. They have called upon the Limassol Animal Police to establish the facts surrounding the incident. Furthermore, the Ecologists have urged authorities to examine the role of the school administration and to implement appropriate pedagogical measures if the allegations are confirmed.

Beyond this specific incident, the party emphasized the necessity for improved animal welfare education within the school system. They argue that families and schools must play a more active role in fostering respect for defenseless creatures from an early age. As of now, the investigation by the Animal Police is the next expected step to determine legal responsibility and potential disciplinary actions.
