Dead animals were found dumped in an open area in Meniko.
For several days, numerous dead animals have been lying near a pig farm in Meniko.
Speaking to SigmaLive, community leader Andreas Kalogirou stated that the relevant authorities have been notified and arrived for inspections. He also noted that there is a sewage leak in the area, causing a foul odour. “Once they died, they should have been sent for incineration. Instead, they were dumped. This is a crime,” he emphasised.
