Stray dogs have become a significant concern in the Paphos state forest, leading the Forest Department to seek effective management solutions. An inter-service meeting was convened to discuss the issue, highlighting the potential dangers posed by these dogs, which are reportedly attacking the protected Cyprus mouflon, chasing wildlife, and threatening both visitors and forest staff. The Forest Department is crafting a comprehensive plan to address the situation as it escalates.
One controversial proposal arising from these discussions is the potential euthanasia of some stray dogs, which has drawn strong opposition from environmental groups, notably the Movement for Ecologists - Citizens’ Cooperation. These organizations have called for humane alternatives to killing the animals, advocating for strategies that do not involve taking drastic measures against the strays. The situation remains fluid as stakeholders work to balance wildlife protection, visitor safety, and the welfare of the stray dogs in the forest.
