A sad thing happened at a beach. It made Cyprus make new laws. Some men were not nice to a dead turtle. The government will now have clear rules. They will also punish people who hurt dead animals.
This was on January 12th. Four men kicked a dead turtle. They threw it away. A visitor from Austria made a video. The video went on the internet. Many people were very sad and angry. The men worked for the town.
A man named Charalambos Theopemptou said there was a problem. He said laws and training were not good. The four men are being studied. They are from 22 to 58 years old. They might get a warning or lose their jobs. Police are also checking this.
This event is why big changes are coming. A woman named Marina Nikolaou said people were angry. She said it was bad because they were local workers. The leaders will look at laws soon. They want to help dead animals. The men may not have had good training.
Animal groups like the new laws. But they worry about animal hurt on the island. They also say the Animal Police are not always working. Leaders will talk about these problems. They want better laws for animals in Cyprus. This could be a good start for animal help.
