Concerns Over the Illegal Placement of Game Feeding Stations in Cyprus
July 25, 2026
The illegal placement of feeding stations for game in the Cypriot countryside raises serious concerns for the health of wildlife. This practice, mainly concerning hunters, leads to a false dependence of game and disrupts the natural balance. The feeding stations attract different animal species, facilitating the spread of diseases. Moreover, low-quality feeds can be toxic, posing health risks to animals. This situation could lead to an increase in poaching and natural predators due to the heightened concentration of game.
