The Justice Ministry will hold a conference on April 28, over the issue of a growing pack of stray dogsĀ which have attacked humans and killed tens of cats in the Pedieos Linear Park.
Strovolos municipality called for the conference as it “exhausted all measures possible” for trapping the dogs, with no success, it said in an announcement.
The municipality noted that “the situation holds danger to public health and order” as the dogs have been spotted outside the Linear Park as well, particularly in premises of the English School and inside the neighbouring Ayios Demetrios Park.
The conference at the Ministry of Justice will be attended by members of the police as well as responsible government departments, according to the announcement.
Strovolos municipality said that it has informed the Chief of the Police in writing, requesting the force’s assistance to trap the dogs.
The municipality calls on people who visit the park to be extra careful and contact the citizens hotline at 1460 or the number 99643044, should they have any information or recommendations.
Animal welfare volunteers and citizens contacted in-Cyprus to report that a growing pack of stray dogs has killed tens of cats living in the park and attacked humans in the past months.
And that the actions taken by the affected municipalities of Nicosia, Strovolos and Lakatameia have been ineffective.
