God bless the children speaking out for the animals

Sir,
As a regular tourist, and someone concerned about animal welfare, I salute the children from the Pancyprian Gymnasium in Nicosia (Cyprus Mail, December 23) for demonstrating against the cruel conditions suffered by the animals in the awful zoo in Limassol. I shall not return to Limassol until their conditions improve. It is so heartening to know that young Cypriots care about these animals who, after all, have no voice and no choice.

Keep up the grand work children and continue to speak up for all animals, they really need you. Good work and God bless you all.
Jacqueline Clarke and family,

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
