Dear Mr Skoulakis,http://www.animalscare.gr/action/abuse/493-kaina.htmlThis news is truly appalling and warrants an immediate investigation at the highest level. Inline images 1
This shelter near Vamos which offers sterilisation vaccination, care and welfare for many of Chania’s dumped, abandoned and unwanted dogs runs entirely on the financial donations from overseas charity and is situated on privately owned land.
It is disgraceful that this shelter operated by volunteers and costing Cretan people or your authority NOTHING has suffered from harassment for years from land owners in the surrounding area. The shelter does not cause any problems for residents, the fencing is secure, and the site is not in a populated area.
You must be aware of the many past threats and problems caused to these volunteers and the animals in their care?
Why has authority action NOT been taken to protect, promote and assist the extremely valuable work which they do?
Your municipality animal care and welfare provision would be reduced to truly abysmal levels without this shelters vital contribution.
I and others have been promoting Chania Municipality for its recent decision to at least part finance some stray animal care. This horrendous event and the publicity it has rightly received has once again seriously and dramatically affected Chania’s animal care lack of provision and reputation.
Many now demand an immediate thorough investigation together with a press release that this abject mindless and illegal cruelty will NOT be tolerated and actions will be taken to protect the shelter, its volunteers and its animals.
I also feel that a meeting should be arranged with adjacent land owners to inform them of the importance of the shelters work. Farmers must be made aware of the fact that the whole areas tourist input is seriously undermined by continual harassment of the shelter and abuse of stray animals. Lack of municipality and police action to halt this harassment must have played a huge role to encourage a mindless coward to commit this horrendous attack against defenseless dogs in this shelters care.
Your urgent action is extremely important, many people are awaiting a persona statement from you emphasizing that you will do all in your power to not only rigorously pursue the perpetrator but also offer a solution and action to give meaningful protection to this shelter.
I look forward to your response.
who says, she didn’t have antidotes? it’s not just a matter of one or more syringes. also how long the animal had the poison… and with this number of animals? hard to save them all.
I don’t believe this is in the Hania municipality. According to Wikipedia Kaina village used to be in Vamos municipalitywhich is now part of Apokoronia municipality: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apokoronas
it was quite confusing, but for some reasons the animWelf of Chania decided to send their protest e-mails to Chania municipality. Maybe it belongs to Chania with the new Municipalities law…?
I know it was well meant 🙂
Absolutely DISGUSTING!! I would look to your immigrant population; most Muslims hate dogs and I’ve heard many threaten to do similar things in the US.
so far no foreigner has been convicted by any Greek court for animal abuse. They were all… Greeks!
Disgusting indeed. But equally disgusting is the knee jerk reaction immediately pointing the finger at immigrants, muslims at that. I’m surprised you didn’t specify furhter and aimed your poison at black muslims. You have no proof, no reason and no right. Anywhere else in Europe you would be pulled up straight away for the crime of “hate speech”, and rightfully so. High time this gets introduced in Greece as well.
I think her comment should be deleted 🙂
Hmmm, I think there’s no harm in showing the outside world what ignorance can look/sound like…But then, not my blog of course.
Can you organise a call from your friends in the Call centre telling her she won a free holiday to lets say Timboktou? She might even get to learn a thing or to about what Muslims are really about?
that’s why I apporved it: to show the world how ignorance and blindness can look like…
So,So, SAD. Who ever did this is heartless and needs to be put away!!!
