Reported in the CY Wail…

Pavlos Charambolous was rushed by emergency services to the Archbishop Makarios III Hospital in Nicosia yesterday after being attacked by a mouflon at the Stavros Tis Psokas Forestry Station.

Friends of the injured man said that whilst they were visiting the mouflon enclosure, Charalambous, an abattoir worker from Kofinou, had climbed the enclosure fence and had been goading a herd of mouflon.

The Forestry Station Manager, Mr George Strongolous, who has an office just a hundred metres from the enclosure, told the Mail that he and three of the staff had gone into the enclosure whilst the attack was ongoing and chased away the mouflon with sticks, and carried the injured man to a waiting ambulance. Mr Strongolous went on to warn that this is the mating season and the male mouflon are very protective of the females and will attack anyone that gets too close.

A spokesperson for the hospital said that that Mr Charalambous had undergone emergency surgery for internal injuries suffered during the attack but was expected to make a full recovery.

The Cyprus Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was not reachable today for comment.
