A 60-year-old woman has been fined €50,000 following her involvement in the death of a dog in Gastouni. The incident reportedly occurred when the woman, driving her vehicle, struck and killed a stray dog named Sissy. In her defense during the preliminary hearings, she claimed that she attempted to brake upon seeing the animal and believed it had moved out of the way. This claim has been met with skepticism by local animal welfare advocates.

The fine was imposed by the head of the Peneios Police Department and is part of a broader legal framework concerning animal rights in Greece. In addition to the administrative penalty, legal proceedings for a criminal offense are anticipated. The Panhellenic Animal Welfare and Environmental Federation has expressed support for the prosecution in this case, highlighting the ongoing issues surrounding animal safety on roads. The woman's legal representatives are preparing to file an appeal against the fine.
