Police have launched an inquiry after the public outcry sparked by a video posted on social media showing three dead jackals hanging in two different places in the region of Messinia in southern Greece.
According to a report on Skai TV, the jackals were shot and killed earlier in the week in the village of Xirochori in Mani by an unknown assailant or assailants.
One of the jackals was hung in the village square and two on signposts.
Another atrocity followed when a fox was also hanged in the area.
The incidents were the latest in a long string of reports of animal cruelty in different parts of the country.

Police in Thessaloniki are investigating the mass poisoning of 16 stray cats in the Agia Marina district.
A local woman had been taking care of the cats and had given them food, but an unknown individual then added poison to the food, Vasilis Diamantakis, deputy mayor for the environment, told AMNA news agency.
The remains of the poisoned cats have been sent for an autopsy while a sample of the poisoned food has also been kept for examination.
“The police are conducting the necessary checks to identify the perpetrator and are investigating the case through the cameras in the surrounding area. We want the person responsible to be identified and punished so that people understand that there are consequences for such heinous acts,” Diamantakis said.
