**** OFF AND DIE YOU TROLLING NAZI GREEK BITCH

A HOLIDAY IN GREECE?

A tempting idea, but if you are an animal lover ...
Poisoning of stray - and owned - dogs and cats is widespread throughout
Greece and it occurs on a daily basis. Those responsible for spreading
around poisoned bait are rarely caught in the act and usually the
bodies of their victims are picked up by garbage collectors in the
early hours of the morning. The poisoning is often excused as a
necessary and cheap clearing up operation of the large numbers of stray
dogs and cats which are seen as a problem. Some people fear the strays
would ‘spread disease’, others consider them a nuisance, especially
when their numbers increase.





Sterilisation is not common for household companion animals, because it
is regarded as a negative intervention in the animals’ nature, but
their owners refuse to take responsibility for the unwanted litters of
puppies and kittens, which are usually abandoned. In short, many people
seem to view poisoning as a ‘fact of life’. The poison used can be
anything from strychnine and rat poison to farm pesticides and
herbicides; even crushed glass.






WHEN THE TOURISTS LEAVE ...

The average life-span of a stray dog in Greece is less than two years,
as most of them perish during the winter months, if not shortly after
the holiday season comes to an end. The last charter flights depart
from the islands at the end of October, by which time most of the
hotels and tavernas have closed down for the winter.



The strays, so dependent on the tourists for food during the summer,
are left to fend for themselves, not knowing where their next meal
would be coming from ... poisoned bait may be their last morsel, if
they are not shot, or hit by a car, or hanged first ...


Millions of tourists from all over the world visit Greece every year
and many are shocked by the sights of animals in distress. They often
befriend and feed the strays, who are generally very friendly and
loving ... they just want to 'belong' and they try very hard to find
somebody to adopt them ... the lucky few succeed.


YOU TOO COULD ADOPT

A GREEK STRAY


.... and give him/her a chance of a happy and secure future
THE KILLING MUST STOP!

Even rampant poisoning is not recognised as an official problem! There
are hardly any reports made to the police. And despite their anger and
sorrow, the somewhat cynical and lax response from the owners of
animals poisoned to death shows that they do not trust the judicial
system; some even fear it. So it appears that poisoning will long
remain acceptable within the Greek culture, as long as the authorities
themselves show total indifference to the problem.

ANIMAL PROTECTION LAWS

Greece has adequate animal protection laws, but in general, they are
not enforced! We can all try to ensure that they are enforced whenever
possible. If you happen to witness a cruelty case, please report it to
the police and the municipalities - which bear the responsibility for
the stray animals. Article 2 of Greek law 1197 states:"Whoever kills,
harasses, or ill-treats animals covered by the present legislation, or
abandons them, is punishable by article 8 of the present penal code."




HOW YOU CAN HELP
This leaflet has been prepared by a coalition of animal welfare groups
throughout Greece and supporting foreign organisations.


The purpose of the leaflet is to draw attention to the country’s
appalling animal welfare problems and to ask for your help. Tourism is
Greece’s number one industry and the authorities will pay attention
to the complaints registered by foreign visitors, especially now that
the country is preparing to host the next Olympic games ... to take
place in 2004. With your help, the authorities in Greece can hopefully
be persuaded to adopt a humane ‘stray control’ policy, by
implementing widespread neutering programmes.

We ask that you please write to:
Deputy Minister of Agriculture
Alexandros Kontos


Minister of Tourism
Dimitris Avramopoulos


Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Petros Molyviatis


Minister Theodoros Roussopoulos


Also please sign an on-line petition by clicking here, its really quick
and secure.




Please send this e-mail on to those who care about the plight of
animals anywhere & everywhere ...

Animal suffering knows no boundaries, language or creed, but ... 'all
the darkness in the world can't put out the light of one small candle'

THANK YOU FOR CARING
