Serious Allegations Regarding the Operation of Melios Zoo
October 13, 2026
The director of the Veterinary Services, Christodoulos Pipis, has made serious allegations regarding the Melios Zoo. He claims that the owner has illegally constructed facilities and fenced off state land. Despite repeated warnings from the Department of Town Planning, the owner did not comply. The Veterinary Services have not renewed the operating license since 2017 due to the owner's non-compliance. The future of the zoo's operation remains unclear.
