Re: The truth about Greece

Gogu, I would be glad about your attitude towards animals if you would not
attack me the same time you are telling me how you love animals.

From my 20 years' experience in Greece with Greeks (talking especially about
Crete) I am sorry to say that people like you are the exception and people
as I described are the majority.

Talking about the roadkills WITHIN the town of Chania - 8 in 5 minutes where
you are allowed to drive with 50 kmh only - nobody can believe in
coincidence, especially after I heard one of the Akrotiri officials (next
community to Chania) say how they use to "solve" the problem when they seem
to have to many animals on the street. Remember? He said openly in a meeting
of the city council that they use their cars and everybody was applauding
him. This I call perverted and nobody will ever stop me saying so.

Sad truth is also that every year in the street where we live - IN Chania,
in a "quiet" neighbourhood without through traffic - we have to at least
burry two or three cats that are killed in front of our house every winter.
I. e. the roadkills are too much to believe in "accidents". Our neighbour, a
Greek who owns a very nice hotel, lost two dogs because of poisoning. Two
years ago when walking our dogs on the beach we found a newborn puppy -
still alive! - that was thrown into the sea to die there. Unfortunately I
could not save it. A few weeks later at the same place we found another
puppy with its skull crashed. This terrible event was even shown in the
Chanian TV and reported in a Chanian newspaper because I called them.

And what about the tourists who find puppies and kittens in the rubbish bin
everywhere? Do you imagine how many letters, e-mails and phone calls our
association and our partners on Crete receive every year about abandoned,
abused, tortured and killed cats and dogs? There are thousands!

I have been travelling a lot when I was younger but - sorry - I never faced
so much cruelty towards the innocent fourlegged companions as in Greece.
They aren't only a few as you imply, Gogu, there are too many, there are
more than elsewhere in Europe, that's for sure.

Please keep on goint to love the animals as you do, that's wonderful. But
you also shouldn't condemn those who see the dark sides and name them.
