The Cyprus Animal Party strongly opposes the proposal to transform the Limassol Zoo into a ‘Limassol Animal Farm Park’, criticizing both the process and content of the plan. The proposal highlights the need for a more animal-friendly approach, focusing on conservation and education rather than exhibiting animals in cages. The Animal Party calls for transparency in the decision-making process and believes the proposal should undergo another round of public consultation. The zoo has faced criticism in recent years due to issues with animal safety, including the death of a deer and a Savannah cat.

Limassol Zoo may be transformed into an ‘animal farm park’ according to a proposal put forward by the Cyprus Centre for Environmental Research and Education (Cycere). The park would house livestock, domestic animals, and other animals native to Cyprus in a more animal-friendly manner, without exhibiting animals in cages. Visitors would be able to participate in activities with the animals, such as feeding, walking tours, and animal photography. The park would also serve as an educational center emphasizing the importance of protecting animals and the environment. The proposal comes after protests against the zoo due to issues with animal safety, including the death of a deer and a Savannah cat.
