Our primary goal with our presence today at the Municipal Council of Ierokipia, is to find  land for the transport of the 2000 animals of the Paphos Animal Shelter which will be demolished by court order. This was emphasized by the president of the Party for the Animals, Kyriakos Kyriakou, who is attending the controversial session.

Mr. Kyriakou stressed that he submitted a proposal that in case the finding of  land is delayed, the animals of this shelter should be given to other licensed shelters so that their existence is not endangered. We also expect the representative of the Ministry of the Interior at today's session, he said, to propose specific pieces of land that could be made available for this purpose.

If this solution is not possible because some will be negative in accepting, then we will be forced to end up at the Presidential Palace with our animals, he concluded.
