A strange case is before the District Court of Famagusta, where a breeder from Deryneia will be in the dock of the defendant for a donkey.
The 61-year-old breeder is referred to Justice because his donkey got away from him, which then hit its head on an EAC stake, causing a fire to break out, which caused material damage to two other breeders who maintain units in the area.
The events occurred on June 13, 2023 in Deryneia. The defendant failed to take precautions against a possible danger from his animal, failing to confine it within the premises as a result of which the donkey collided with an EAC pole and a fire broke out in the livestock farm
As a result of the fire, two livestock farmers suffered damages of nine thousand euros, as the bales of hay they had were burned.
The defendant faces charges of reckless and negligent acts. Also, it is being investigated whether on the same day and time he tolerated the animal as being a stray, a charge which derives from the Law on Municipalities. The third charge is that he failed to register the donkey with the Veterinary Services, as he was obliged by the relevant Regulation of the European Communities.
