Seven Newborn Puppies Dumped in Xyliatos – Only Jasmine Survives

Strong reactions and concern have been sparked by the incident in Xyliatos, where seven newborn puppies were found abandoned by a fence. This act is condemned as illegal and reprehensible by the Ecologists' Movement, as well as animal welfare organizations and citizens. Due to their vulnerable condition, an appeal was made to find a female dog who could adopt them, and Vasilis Pentafkas responded to the call, taking on their care. Unfortunately, six of the puppies did not survive, while one was saved and adopted by Mr. Pentafkas's dog. The incident highlights the serious problem of animal abandonment and the need for stricter enforcement of legislation and increased social awareness.
