Cyprus has many sick farm animals. It is a disease called foot-and-mouth disease. This sickness is very easy to spread. The government is taking strong steps. They are killing many animals. Some people want the minister to quit. The European Union will give more help. A special group will come soon.
A farmer, Anastasis Zannettos, is sad. He said, "We are very sad." He also said, "Larnaca smells of death." Many farmers feel hurt and angry. The disease hurts their work a lot.
Over 7,000 animals were killed. This is to stop the sickness. But it is hard for farmers. The government says it follows rules. The President talked to the EU leader. They spoke about more help.
Some groups do not like how the government acts. They want the minister to be fired. They think he was not careful. A lady said, "The minister must quit." People are talking about the government's actions.
The minister was in the news before. There was a big fire last year. Some think he may change jobs.
The EU health leader will visit Cyprus. This is to talk about help. The next few days will show if the plan works.
