In a hopeful step toward stronger animal protection, Cyprus' Attorney General has urged the Minister of Justice to toughen penalties for animal abuse, making the law a true deterrent for offenders.
With cases of cruelty and even death on the rise, the Attorney General has formally recommended revising Article 323 of the Criminal Code, which deals with harm to animals. The goal is to introduce harsher punishments, including financial penalties alongside prison sentences, to send a clear message that abuse will not be tolerated.
This move signals a growing recognition that animals deserve better legal protection, and if the law is amended, it could be a turning point in the fight against cruelty. For animal lovers and advocates, this is a promising step toward a safer and more compassionate future.
