cat consumption — Authorities are investigating alarming reports of cat consumption in Nicosia, prompted by witness accounts shared by Animal Party Cyprus. These accounts highlight a troubling pattern of cat disappearances in certain areas of the capital over recent weeks.
This morning, the police confirmed that their Animal unit, alongside representatives from Veterinary Services, conducted searches at two apartments in a Nicosia suburb. The searches were carried out with the consent of the residents, yet no evidence was found that could substantiate the claims of cat eating.
In light of these developments, police have urged the public to report any instances of animal abuse or neglect immediately. The authorities emphasised their commitment to investigating all complaints thoroughly and responsibly.
“We will investigate all complaints with responsibility and diligence,” a police spokesperson stated, underlining that allegations alone are insufficient for launching an investigation without tangible evidence.
The ongoing situation has sparked concern among animal welfare advocates and local communities. As the police continue to monitor the situation, they reiterated the importance of collaboration between citizens and relevant authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of animals.
Animal welfare is a communal responsibility, and the police have called for vigilance in protecting the vulnerable. “Animal welfare concerns everyone, and through citizens and competent bodies cooperation we can secure their safety,” the statement concluded.
