Many people worldwide will have seen on TV the Greek stray dog heading the demonstrations in Athens.
In past blogs I have drawn attention to the sad lack of animal care throughout most of Greece despite the laws being similar to most of the EU. What hope have we in getting people to change attitudes if the law enforcement officers give examples like this?
To expand my concerns over animal welfare in Greece, last week in a small fishing town called Gythio an animal care shelter was broken into and 28 dogs poisoned.....why you might well ask? The answer I had from one person was this was the actions Greeks will take, if they can not afford food for themselves why should they see animals fed?
The seat of civilisation is becoming uncivilised......
