Hundreds of chicken and turkey feet were found washed ashore Saturday, Aug. 22, along a beach in Malakonta, in the municipality of Eretria on the Greek island of Evia.

The poultry remains were scattered along approximately 20 meters of coastline, surprising and alarming people in the area and raising questions about how and where they entered the sea.

@megatvnews Απίστευτες εικόνες καταγράφηκαν σε παραλία της Εύβοιας, κοντά στην Ερέτρια, όπου χιλιάδες πόδια από κοτόπουλα και γαλοπούλες έχουν ξεβραστεί στην ακτή. Στο βίντεο που αναρτήθηκε στα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης, μέρος των υπολειμμάτων φαίνεται συγκεντρωμένο σε ένα σημείο, ενώ άλλα βρίσκονται μέσα σε σακούλες στην ακτή. Παράλληλα, πολίτες φαίνονται να βγάζουν από τη θάλασσα όσα εντοπίζουν στο νερό. Μέχρι στιγμής παραμένει άγνωστο από πού προέρχονται και πώς κατέληξαν στη θάλασσα, με την υπόθεση να βρίσκεται υπό διερεύνηση. 📹 RealNEWS / TikTok #MegaGegonota #meganews #MegaTV #News #fy ♬ Minimal for news / news suspense(1169746) – Hiraoka Kotaro
