Giorgos Karadedos is a 53-year-old shepherd from the region of Evros, Greece, who has faced significant challenges due to repeated outbreaks of sheep and goat pox in the area. Since the first case was reported on August 16, 2024, he has been struggling to recover from the loss of approximately 500 sheep, which he had carefully bred and nurtured over several years.
