UPDATE 04.07.2014 Billy sadly passed away this morning (04.07.2014)

The Animal Party say the incident happened at the Anastasia Beach Hotel in Protaras

Some reports suggest the hotel manager instructed two employees to dispose of the stray dog, which had been sniffing around the hotel gardens.

Stella Stylianou from Argos Animal Welfare told the Famagusta Gazette that those responsible must be named and shamed.

„They should be named and shamed. It’s 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‘.
