Please greatly improve the treatment of animals in Greece 🇬🇷!!!! We will boycott Greece until the Government Improve Vastly!!!!!!!!!
Source: www.thepetitionsite.com - Monday, December 09, 2019 Hello 👋, There are thousands of stray dogs 🶠🕠and cats 🱠🈠in Greece 🇬🇷. In 2012, it was estimated that there were 600,000 stray dogs in Greece (there were probably more stray cats). Most of these animals lead tragic and horrible existences, starving, without access to adequate water, unsterilised, without veterinary treatment (one dog in a picture I saw on a rescue website was infected with parasites. That dog may now be one of the lucky ones) and enduring abuse and malicious killing. Some of them are poisoned. One dog was tortured and burned to death. Others are hit by cars, with Greek drivers rarely bothering to stop and assist injured animals. I'm not a Christian âœÃ¯¸, but this is supposed to be a Christian country. Would God want His animals to be treated this way? I even read something about it being made illegal to adopt and rescue strays in Greece... The donkeys of Santorini and, maybe, other parts of Greece are also mistreated, forced to carry heavy loads of rubbish or tourists around in the heat of Greece, with little to no food, water or shelter. They may also be hit... This is all UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!! Greece need to drastically improve their treatment of animals!!!! Animals have feelings, too. Scientists are in no doubt on the subject of animal sentience. Many animals feel pain, joy, excitement, fear, anxiety, sadness and perhaps even embarrassment and grief. This is no way to treat sentient All Related

Aivali: A Story of Greeks and Turks in 1922 by Soloup review – a moving graphic novel
The traumas of the Turks and Greeks forced to flee their homes a century ago are drawn with moving simplicity and speak clearly to today’s refugee crisis The distance between the ports of Mytilene, on the Greek island Lesbos, and Ayvalık, a Turkish city known as Aivali in Greek, is 47.5km by sea. Between 1922 and 2019, millions of people have crossed the unpredictable waters, many of them fleeing wars around the world. Aivali: A Story of Greeks and Turks in 1922, a graphic novel published in Greek in 2014 and recently translated into English by Tom Papademetriou, is the story of the 1.6 million refugees who made the journey that year alone, when the Greek and Turkish governments agreed to a massive population exchange at the end of the Greco-Turkish war. The Greek Orthodox Christians of Asia Minor and other Turkish regions were made to relocate to Greece, while Muslim Greek citizens were forced into Turkey. Both sides suffered, and this is the strongest message in this soul-stirring account, which acknowledges all sides of the tragedy. Continue reading...
