The case is under investigation, they have also taken testimonies from the owner and the manager of the hotel and the citizen who gave the information to the Police, the statement read. The two perpetrators, a Cypriot and a Bulgarian, who were fired from hotel Anastasia” are at large and the Police are still searching for them, the statement added.Stella Stylianou from Argos Animal Welfare told the Famagusta Gazette that those responsible must be named and shamed. They should be named and shamed. Its already happening now. Why should their names be kept out of a newspaper? Because they are a hotel?, Stylianou said. The Animal Party have described the incident as barbaric and called for a change in mentality. Little Billy is now in a coma in a local vet clinic where the staff are working hard to help him,” the petition adds.
