Police on the island of Spetses, in southern Greece, is investigating the deaths of four stray cats in the area of Agios Eleftherios on Saturday.
The inquiry was launched after a local resident found the bodies of the animals last Friday morning and alerted the police. The bodies were taken to a veterinary clinic and authorities ordered a series of tests to determine the cause of death.
A case has been filed for violation of pet welfare legislation, while police is investigating if more similar complaints have recently been submitted to the local municipal authority.
