Hundreds of thousands of animals are born every year in Cyprus. Many of them are strays and don’t have the basic requirements for survival… Still, they are killed every day in the streets, abused or poisoned by mindless people, while others are herded by the tens into shelters or put to sleep…
The situation is a tragic one and has gotten out of control due to the apathy of the state! It’s time to put an end to all of this and wake up the responsible institutions… It’s now four years since Cyprus joined the European Union, so let’s demand that the laws that apply to animals finally be implemented. If necessary, other laws should be created or the old ones reconsidered. Let’s put pressure on the government to respect, in deed and not in word alone, the feelings of tens of thousands of actual animal lovers, and to put up a barrier right now against the brutal rash of violence being senselessly inflicted by some of our fellow-citizens on these innocent creatures. Let’s all call for the organisation of special educational programs to educate the public from an early age, even in schools.
Since, for all of these reasons and many more, a more concerted effort is needed, let’s put our voices together and fight for a better tomorrow for the animals of Cyprus… Because it’s certain that together we will have better chances of succeeding!
ANIMALS HAVE RIGHTS TOO!
HUMANS STOP BEING INDIFFERENT!
LET’S SHOW RESPECT TO ALL CREATURES ON EARTH!
MAKE SURE YOU TAKE THIS AFTERNOON OFF AND JOIN THE PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION OUTSIDE PARLIAMENT IN NICOSIA AT 3PM. THIS IS OUR ONLY CHANCE TO MAKE THE GOVERNMENT SIT UP AND LISTEN AND GIVE PROTECTION LAWS FOR THE ANIMALS OF CYPRUS.
Cyprus Parliament building is situated just opposite of the old General Hospital of Nicosia and in front of the Municipal Theatre in the centre of the town.
In Nicosia, you will see Kalisperas traffic lights. You go straight through 4 traffic lights, pass outside of Hilton Hotel on your left and drive straight to Makarios avenue. At the crossroad, you go straight through the trafic lights till you cannot go straight any more. Then you turn to the left and drive all straight (through 3-4 traffic lights) until the end of the road. Turn right and drive for about 300-400 m. and at the 2nd traffic light you will see the Parliament's building on your left.
