Stray Dogs Attack Livestock in Asprokremmos Area

Livestock farmers in the Asprokremmos area of Paphos are facing a serious problem with stray dog attacks on sheep, goats, and other domestic animals. The attacks have increased in recent months, resulting in significant losses. Residents report that the problem began when hunters started abandoning dogs deemed unfit for hunting in the area. These stray dogs, searching for food, attack flocks and even feed on dead animals discarded in the region, creating health risks. Farmers and residents are calling for immediate intervention from the Police and relevant government departments to address the situation, as they report threatening behavior even within communities.
