Green party demands investigation after dogs found dead in buffer-zone reservoir

The Green party of Cyprus demanded a full investigation on Tuesday after several dogs were found dead in an unfenced water reservoir inside the Astromeritis buffer zone, lambasting the incident as one of “barbarism” and “criminal negligence”.

A video circulated on the party’s social media account shows the bodies of stray dogs, having been swept in and drowned.

It said the absence of even basic fencing or safety measures amounted to serious failure by those responsible for the site.
