Bravo, Stelios, but it's not only the donkeys who suffer in Greece ....

Congratulations, Stelios, for supporting the campaign by the Express, to stop the abuse of donkeys on Santorini .... in fact anywhere else in Greece too! They truly 'suffer in silence', work relentlessly and at the end of their working life, they are usually abandoned. But it's not only the donkeys who suffer in Greece!!!! Anybody who has been to Greece will have seen many stray dogs and cats ............. and they are usually under a year old or, at most, between 1-2 years ... WHY??? Because most of them don't survive from one year to another .... because they are either poisoned, run over by cars or they die through starvation and disease. How sad that in Greece, poisoning of strays is still a common practice and is in fact seen as a cheap method of stray contrl.........

Daily Express has certainly opened a can of worms with their articles and I can't thank them enough, but
it would help a lot if the general public would put pen to paper and write to the Greek authorities. Once again I include their email addresses and hope that many of you will write to them, especially if you have had first hand experience of seeing the plight of animals in their country.
