Issues concerning the strengthening of procedures for the protection of animals were raised at a meeting between the Minister of Justice and Public Order and the President and member of the Association for the Protection and Welfare of Cats, in the presence of the Assistant Chief of Operations and the Chief Police Officer for Animals.
The leadership of the Association thanked both the Minister and the Police representatives for the important effort being made by the State to protect the welfare of animals. He clarified that through the legal framework and the Police for animals, established by the present government, there is a continuous improvement.
At the same time, however, he also pointed out the problems that are encountered and arise through the practical implementation of the legislation. In order to solve these problems, specific actions and measures were agreed upon.
In particular, it was decided to strengthen the cooperation between the organizations and the Police in order, through the hotline, to solve the problems immediately.
At the same time, the issues of prevention and training will be promoted both to the members of the Police, through circulars and clarifying instructions, and to the society, by intensifying educational programs and informing the public.
