Volos residents protest stray dog attacks in Kallithea neighborhood
Residents of the Kallithea neighborhood in the Fytoko area of Volos, Greece, are protesting against a pack of large stray dogs that has been terrorizing the community for the past month and a half.
The outcry follows two recent attacks on Tuesday morning. A 60-year-old woman was chased by the pack while riding her bicycle, and a 75-year-old man was attacked when attempting to leave his home, forcing him to defend himself with a stick. Other reported incidents include an encounter with a 25-year-old man and a young woman walking her dog.
Local inhabitants report that the pack has grown in size, allegedly due to being fed by a resident. Residents claim they are now afraid to leave their homes and have filed numerous complaints with the Volos Municipality's Stray Animal Office, expressing frustration over the lack of a permanent solution.
