The outbreak of sheep pox continues to devastate thousands of sheep in the region from N. Aghialos to Almyros, severely impacting local farmers and the economy. A recent case in a sheep farm has prompted veterinary inspections and potential culling. Farmers are facing increased tension as some disregard protocols, endangering the health of remaining livestock. Almyros Mayor Dimitris Esseridis is heading to Athens to seek assistance from Agricultural Development Minister Kostas Tsiaras amidst an ongoing investigation into illegal disposal of dead sheep.
