I am deeply saddened and disheartened by the lack of humanity towards our animals on this island. I have recently witnessed a cat be thrown out of a car onto the highway alive (on the way to Nicosia from Larnaca), only to be run over by other drivers. There is very little legislation in this country to protect our animals from such disgusting acts. Cats deserve much better lives from how they are treated and, so, we must collect support to lead protective efforts now and into the future for the welfare of our cats. We MUST tackle the lack of capacity to prevent such actions, and take stronger steps to ensure that those who throw cats onto the highway are severely punished!
