Several dogs were found in a pit of a Larnaca-based livestock farm used to deposit carcasses of other animals after the owner of the farm reportedly had complained about stray dogs in the area.
A large-scale operation was underway at an animal farm in Kalo Chorio early afternoon on Monday to retrieve the dogs, while it is still unknown whether they are alive or dead, police told the Cyprus Mail.
Authorities arrived there following a tip-off earlier on the day. During the operation, it was deemed necessary to contact the health authorities to take the necessary measures so that firefighters can safely retrieve the animals.
A source told the Cyprus Mail that the first dog retrieved was still alive, while media reported the dogs were dead.
Reports also suggested that a few days prior, the owner of the unit has complained over stray dogs that attacked and killed goats in his farm.
