President Ersin Tatar Condemns Slaughter of Karpaz Donkeys
In a recent statement, President Ersin Tatar expressed his deep regret over the deliberate killing of 14 Karpaz donkeys in Cyprus. These donkeys, which have come to symbolize the region and the country, were brutally slaughtered with a shotgun, prompting outrage and sadness from the community.
Tatar emphasized that violence against animals, just like violence against women or children, is a matter of humanitarian duty for all individuals with a conscience. The majority of the population in Cyprus has shown their disgust at this heinous act, reflecting the general sentiment of love and respect for animals and human beings in the Turkish Cypriot community.
The President highlighted the importance of the Animal Welfare Law, enacted in 2013 to protect animal rights and ensure their well-being in a healthy environment. He urged the authorities to swiftly identify the perpetrators of this tragic event and bring them to justice.
As the President, Tatar pledged to closely monitor the progress of the investigation and ensure that those responsible for the senseless killing of the Karpaz donkeys face the consequences of their actions. The incident serves as a reminder of the need to uphold the values of compassion and empathy towards all living beings in society.
