Heartbreaking

There are three German shepherd dogs being kept in small tin-roofed cages in unbearable heat near Polemidia before Orphanides Limassol. Apparently the owner thinks that if he keeps them caged, dehydrated and fed very little, then when he takes them hunting they will run more vigorously. The dogs have gone mad. The sight and sound of the dogs yowling pounding and leaping at the bars is heartbreaking.

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.
