‘We must avoid the further killing of animals’, cheesemakers say

Cheesemakers’ association spokesman Michalis Koullouros on Thursday called for a halt to the culling of farm animals in light of an outbreak of foot a d mouth disease.

“We must avoid the further killing of animals because, you understand that if animals are lost, their production and the production of halloumi are also lost,” he told the Cyprus News Agency.

He added that his association is “following” developments “with particular concern”, before adding that the situation is “very serious”.
