Germans know better than Greeks how to treat animals and how to protect them from human harm.The dogs should immediately go to their homes since people are waiting for them. SET THEM FREE PLEASE
What is your point?
Be thankful these dogs have a place to go so the world is not up in arms for you destroying them. Enough is enough. Let them go home.NOW
Canada's beloved poet and writer, 'Leonard Cohen' once lived in Greec. Mr. Cohen noted the disgraceful way animals were treated in Greece.His experience there made him become a vegetarian.
You do the math.
Greece=CRUELTY!
LET THESE INNOCENT CREATURES GO. GIVE THESE DOGS TO GOOD HOME. BETTER STILL ALLOW THE ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS TO TAKE OVER.
In the name of God, in the name of the Greek philosphers, writers, artists, In the name of the future of Greece.
LET THE DOGS GO TO GOOD HOMES.
TO KEEP THESE DOGS CAGED UP FOR SUCH LONG PERIODS IS BARBARIC.
The detention of these dogs is illegal, cruel and reflects very badly on the nation of Greece. Your national reputation is suffering; the Greek cruelty to animals is condemned internationally. I personally no longer purchase Greek products nor patronize Greek businesses due to Greek abuse of and cruelty towards animals. You must release these dogs to Arche Noah immediately in order to avoid greater damage to your nation's reputation.
If they have homes to go to...let them go....this is absurd and wasting time, effort and money for no apparant reason...never mind the unneeded suffering put on the dogs...
Why do you continue to stand in the way of those who wish to help those who you refuse to help. It is your mess and there are people willing to clean it up for you - step aside and let those dogs have the chance they deserve.
Greece used to be known for its rich history. The present conditions in Greece regarding the welfare of animals and the stray dogs is now changed the worlds perception of Greece. Greece is now know around the world as a cruel and sadistic nation.
What is the point of this, exactly? Surely it's more humane AND a lot easier for the Greek authorities to release the dogs into the custody of those who want them.
Bloody bureaucracy...
Why is this happening?? The Greek authorities must "only" be trying to display that they are the ones in control. This is all about power, I'm sure. The Greek authorities should consider that the dogs are living creatures who deserve to be with loving families, not confined unnecessarily. Let the dogs go!!!
Why would anyone do this? I don't understand, but I do know that they should be in loving homes. There are homes waiting for them and yet they are not freed. Please, please have a heart and some compassion and do the only decent thing, free them.
It is astonishing that such a distorted view can prevail to the extent that these dogs are prevented from completing their journey. So much effort by so many dedicated animal welfare workers in Greece has gone into providing solutions for these creatures to escape their suffering and go to loving homes abroad. They MUST be allowed to continue their work and - what's more - they must be refunded every cent of the costs for the dogs to be detained in the private animal shelter. They bear NO responsibility for these costs which must be borne by those who are responsible for causing the detention.
Congratulations! Once again Greek "authorities" managed to make a fool of themselves all over the world.

As someone who works in the travel industry, I will ensure I tell people about this and have them boycott Greece as a vacation destination until these dogs are released to their rightful owners!
and you think of yourselves as a civilized and enlightened society...have you forgotten about your great philosphers Plato and Diogenes - who held dogs in the highest esteem and and called them "beasts of wonder" - shame on you for turning your back on your heritage! SHAME ...
The dogs should be handed back to their rightful owners immediately, Arche Noah Kreta. Also, all tourists planning to come to Greece should be informed about the "adventure" the three animal welfare workers had on Feb 27th 2005 who were driving the 58 dogs. Their experiences are on Arche Noah's website and everybody should hear about this!
This is so sad. Give these dogs back so they can find wonderful homes! They deserve a chance
I am the owner of 1 perfect greek dog, and i love her, so every dog deserves a chance.
THA HTHELA POLY NA EVAZA ESAS - TOUS POLITIKOUS - STHN IDIA FYLAKH POU EXETE VALEI ATHOA SKYLIA STHN ORA ANAGHS TOUS!!!
Translation: "I would very much want to put the politicians in the same prison that they have placed innocent dogs in their time of need."
Why can't you people do something right for a change? Release these dogs so they can continue their journey to their new homes and charge the woman responsible for this fiasco with false accusations and slanderous lies.
Re-homing in Germany and other European countries is the only solution for Greek stray dogs. Please let the dogs go to their families and allow Arche Noah to continue their valuable work in Greece.
Please let the dogs go and show some respect for animal lifes. I have so little respect left for Greece in the matter of animal rights, so please show me that I am wrong!
