AR-News: (CY)Society must take its responsibility over stray dogs

[Animalconcerns]

THE PROBLEM of stray dogs is an issue for society as a whole, according to
the president of the Cyprus Society for the of Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals (CSPCA) Toulla Poyiatzi.

Poyiatzi told the Cyprus Mail yesterday everyone had to take their share
of responsibility when it comes to homeless animals.

During a House Committee meeting held to discuss the law regarding stray
dogs earlier this month, Poyiatzi said certain animal shelters across the
island were being forced to put down as many as 500 dogs per week – a
figure disputed by the shelters. The CSPCA, however, does not put down
animals simply because they cannot find a home.

“We are an association that prevents cruelty to animals and we disagree
with putting them to sleep simply because they are homeless,” said Poyiatzi.
