It is reported that during the meeting, which was attended by the Assistant Chief of Operations and the Chief Police Officer for Animals, the continued improvement regarding the protection and welfare of animals was acknowledged, thanks to the new legal framework and the creation of the Police for Animals by the current government, and reference was made to the problems arising from the practical implementation of the legislation.
According to the announcement, in order to solve the above problems, it was decided to strengthen cooperation between the organizations and the Police through a hotline, as well as to promote prevention and training issues both to the members of the Police, through circulars and clarifying instructions, and to the society, by intensifying educational programs and informing the public.
In addition, solutions were sought for the creation of special feeding areas for stray animals, with the contribution of animal welfare organisations, the Police and local government authorities, while it was also decided to carry out further statistical analysis of incidents of animal violence in order to construct a more effective and targeted plan for dealing with them.
In conclusion, it is noted that the Minister assured the representatives of the Association of the state's support for the work carried out by the organizations for animals and stressed that the Ministry will monitor the implementation of the decisions.
