A sad event happened at a Christmas celebration in Prastio Kellakiou village. A pony died during the event. The Cyprus Animal Party wants a full investigation. This happened on December 12th and 13th. The incident makes people worry about animal safety at parties.
Two ponies were brought to the village for the celebration. They were with private people. Sadly, one pony became sick and died. The animal party is very concerned. They want to know why the pony died.
Kyriakos Kyriakou leads the Cyprus Animal Party. He spoke on television. He thinks the pony did not get enough care. Maybe it was too cold for the pony. Or perhaps it did not get enough food. The party is upset because the animal died. No one asked why or looked into it.
The party says the event was not organised correctly. They think permits were not obtained. Animal welfare checks were also missing. The animals did not have good places to stay. This was bad for their health. Mr. Kyriakou said permits are needed when animals are used. This shows a problem with rules for animals at public events.
The Cyprus Animal Party has asked for an investigation. They want the Community Council, Veterinary Services, and police to look into it. Christmas events in Cyprus often have live animals. This makes them more popular. However, this sad event shows problems with animal welfare. These problems need to be solved.
