Sign the Petition
Target: Marios Hartsiotis, Minister of Justice, Cyprus
Goal: Impose the strongest possible penalties on those reportedly responsible for abandoning an elderly dog in a trash container.
An older dog was reportedly discovered in a trash bin, showing the signs of severe neglect and possible abuse. The animal was purportedly left to suffer with no way to escape, only to be rescued by a kind individual who heard barking from the bin. Public outrage has grown around the heartbreaking details of this alleged cruelty and the apparent failure to hold the offender fully accountable.
Early investigations led to arrests, yet the suspects were released without charge, despite apparent evidence tying one individual to the dog’s care. Reports indicate that subsequent admissions of guilt later led to a second arrest, yet concerns remain that lenient responses may continue to prevail. Observers fear this pattern of inadequate punishment could encourage future acts of cruelty against other defenseless animals.
Authorities must send a clear message that intentionally abandoning an animal in such a horrific way will not be tolerated. By pursuing the maximum legal consequences for anyone found guilty of this apparent abuse, it can be ensured that others think twice before inflicting this level of pain and terror on a living creature. The demand is straightforward: enact strong penalties and uphold the laws that protect innocent animals from suffering.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Minister Marios Hartsiotis,
We, the undersigned, urgently draw your attention to the disturbing story of an elderly dog that was apparently discarded in a trash bin and left to endure what must have been unimaginable fear and harm. The circumstances surrounding this incident, and the reported arrests that followed, have raised profound concerns about potential gaps in legal accountability.
Despite initial arrests, those reputedly involved were released without formal charges. Although subsequent developments led to a second arrest, many fear that the ultimate punishment might not fit the gravity of this alleged offense. Such uncertainty can undermine public confidence and leave other vulnerable animals at greater risk of enduring similar cruelty.
We respectfully call on you to pursue all available legal avenues to secure meaningful consequences for this apparent act of abuse. A full measure of justice will not only safeguard innocent lives but will also signal that these callous acts against defenseless creatures will be met with the firmest response.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

I think the wrong one was put into the trash. It’s the human who really belongs there with the lid shut.
I absolutely agree with you. How can they be easy on these people? They need to hold all humans accountable for their actions.
I agree…here here!
Absolutely agree. God will get them though.
Well said. This story is revolting. Thank you all who sign this petition for fighting for our animal friends.
Fechem esses filhos da puta numa lata e atirem-nos ao mar.
Whoever did this should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and never allowed near an animal ever again!!!!!!!! WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH SOME PEOPLE????????!!!!!!!!!
Agree!
We can only hope that the callous SOB that did this is dumped somewhere and left to die when they are old and need extra care.
Dish out a real punishment to stop this shit from happening a again.
It is indeed disappointing to learn that sentences for animal cruelty are so lenient in Cyprus….criminals go free as birds.
how terrible!
Humans are such assholes, I’m ashamed to look in the mirror.
Thanks to the angel who rescued this poor dog.
The message you are sending is that animal welfare is irrelevant so they don’t matter. That mindset is so backward and barbaric.
This dog suffered longterm neglect and possible abuse and now you are letting the bastards off with just a wrist slap!!! This little senior dog was tossed like garbage but in actuality it’s the scums that should be tossed in the nearest landfill!!!!!!!! AGE DOES NOT EQUAL DISCARD!!!
Animals are the real treasure and anyone harming them should feel the FULL WEIGHT OF THE LAW so others will rethink.
Find the perpetrator(s) and execute them.
The trash is way too good for these ass wipes!!! This government needs to stop aiding these abusers!!!!
By doing nothing shows that the government doesn’t care about the abuse which seems to be rampant!!!!
This poor dog!!! I hope the dog is now safe!!!
DUMP THIS CRUEL AND ABUSIVE ASSHOLE WHOM PUT THIS ELDERLY INNOCENT DEFENSELESS DOG INTO A DUMPSTER TO DIE!!! THIS CRUEL AND ABUSIVE ASSHOLE DOESN’T DESERVE TO OWN, ADOPT, AND BE NEAR ANY OTHER DOGS AND ALL OTHER ANIMALS AT THAT FOR THE REST OF HIS/HER MISERABLE LIFE!!!
STOP ALL ANIMAL CRUELTY AND ABUSE TOWARDS ALL ANIMALS IMMEDIATELY ALL OVER THE WORLD!!
Agree all comments get this bastard and do the same to them. Justice now and full punishment. Give them to animal lovers to deal with first let them beat the fuck out if them and leave to die slow painful death.
These viscous cruel pathetic losers who did this to this sweet loving elderly dog should’ve never ever been released without charges and should’ve been jailed period! This was horrific torture to lock this poor animal who is old and was abused prior by these sick people is so sad how would any human like it to be beat and locked into a dark cold dumpster with no escape when there are so many places to surrender an unwanted animal! Sadly this old dog will suffer from this traumatic ordeal forever! Lock them up and throw away the key!
SO SAD FOR THIS POOR INNOCENT HELPLESS POOCH!!! PUT THIS MONSTER IN THE TRASH WHERE THEY BELONG AND KEEP THEM AWAY FROM ALL ANIMALS!!!
Goes to show just what they think about a living breathing creature..makes you wonder if they might do the same with a human next??? They need to be taken off the streets as no good for society that’s for sure..lock them up and throw away the KEY!!@@
What a disgusting letdown that the person who did this heinous act was not thrown in jail for a very long time!! I’m glad the poor dog was rescued.
HORRIBLE!!!! I hope the same to happen to the EVIL owner
Boycott these appalling European shit holes they treat animals like garbage and their food is just as disgusting as their people.
The evil devils who did this must die!!! Hang these evil scum bags and make them pay!!! This poor dog deserves justice and the monsters who tortured this poor innocent soul deserve to rot in hell!!!!
