In the Greek region of Asvestochori there is an uncontrolled increase in the population of wild horses, which already has exceeded 500 copies of this animal, as denounced by the mediumsince it is causing great concern among the inhabitants of the area.
A resident in the area pointed to the Greek environment that as long as the competent organisms do not intervene, the number of animals will continue to multiply, with a visible risk of serious impacts on the natural environment and security of residents.
Thus, they make special reference to the water source of the area, the well -known “Loutsa”, which is in danger of exhausting. In addition, they added that last year, during drought, residents and ranchers transported water in tank so that animals did not die of thirst.
At the same time, serious road safety problems are raised, since, as stated in the complaint, the horses circulate on the main road and appear after the curves, with the consequent risk of accident.
For them, they ask the competent authorities to intervene immediately, before something tragic happens, stressing that “it is a shame for animals, but also dangerous for people.”
