I am a Greek citizen living in the US. This issue is so repugnant that I am embarrassed to be Greek. Let these poor dogs go to a better life. What can be gained from this?
Greece is a very nice country, but what they do with animals is not good.
How is it possibble that in a country that's member of the EU, cats an dogs have a bad live?
About the 58 dogs: I hope that the authorities let them go SSAP to Germany. But it would beter when all the animals should have a good future in Greece!
I hear so many terrible things that happen in Greece. What a shame as I certainly wouldn't want to visit Greece knowing there are so many atrocities happening there.
Every time I hear about the atrocities in Greece, I am more and more clear about my desire never to travel there. My folks were planning a vacation to Greece with their friends, and when I told them this week about the way your country condones animal cruelty and neglect, they are now traveling elsewhere. Your country's lack of compassion and care for those who can't speak is truly an abomination. If you'd like to improve your image, I urge you to let the dogs go to their REAL homes OUTSIDE of your nasty country.
A country is judged by how they treat their animals, Abraham Lincoln. This is why we in the US are not a third world country. Behavior like this sets examples to the rest of the world just how backwards you people really are!
To the Greek authorities
Word has reached Canada that you are holding 58 dogs that were on their way to Germany. This is tio kindly request that you allow them to travel onwards towards their new adopted homes.
Release the dogs now! I will spead this information to all my friends and family so that they know what kind of people the Greeks are! People with no compassion for animals.
"Greek authorities..." Are these authorities waiting for some kind of payoff? The greatness of a country, all countries, can be judged by its treatment of its animals. We did not miss the despicable and horrifying "clean-up" for the Olympics, which we did not watch. Nor will we, our friends and relatives, be touring Greece until changes are made in these matters. It is clear that your system is fully corrupt; because of that, innocent animals and the families who want the (you don't!) are suffering. Clearly, the history of Greece's treatment of animals is beyond gruesome. I have seen the pictures, the videos. Don't you have better ways to spend time? The energy, time and money expended to hold these animals could certainly be spent in making sure these animals reach a loving destination, something you have been unwilling to provide thus far. Please honor the reputation of your country by behaving as civilized persons, not as primitives. Allow these and other animals to be released, give your conscience a rest. Restore honor to your country.
Here we go again with your choas! Why don't you just give the poor animals to the people that they belong to and stop this nonsense. You are NOT treating these poor defenseless creatures in the right manner anyways, so just let people who have warm hearts and kind souls to have them!!!!!!
DOGS ARE THE ONLY CREATURES ON THIS PLANET WHO ARE CAPABLE OF AND WHO GIVE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. THE GREEK PEOPLE ARE AND HAVE ALWAY'S BEEN AN HONORABLE PEOPLE, PLEASE DO THE THE HONORABLE THING, RELEASE THE DOGS.
There is NO GOOD reason NOT to release these dogs. I was actually just planning my trip for the summer to Europe. I've decided to hold off on visiting Greece till I see it's stand on the treatment of these dogs and others!
There is nothing to be gained by detaining thoses dogs. Please let them go to their homes. The only decent human beings are those who are kind to all animals
There is no reason for Greek Authorities in Pireaus to detain these poor dogs. They are a gift of God and should be allowed to be put in loving homes. They have a chance to do that now and you are stopping them. Please release these dogs now. What happened to the Greece that was the cradle of democrasy? If you would do that to these poor animals you will be doing it to people next. I will never set foot in your country and neither will any of my constituents if you continue to use these practices. Please release these dogs now and let them have a good life. Their lives are in your hands, don't add anymore guilt on top of the guilt you already have for the way you treat your animals! Release these dogs to go to their homes, even they will be happy to leave your country!
There is too much advance in science for your country not to sterilize all your dogs so you don't have to resort to such dangerous and inhumane killings of your overpopulation of dogs. Don't you know that children can be exposed to the poisons you put out for these dogs? How irresponsible.
You are abusing these poor animals. You should be tried in a court of law. Turn these animals over to the rightful owner. What you have done is called theft! The animals have suffered enough. Do the RIGHT thing!
I always thought to visit Greece because I love the look of the white houses by the see among other reasons BUT I was ignorant of how the way you regard your animals. Now, I know that I will never step in your soil and wish for you the fate of the animals in you hands.
I have no words for this crime. Mehave like a member of the EU.
There are enough animals suffering in your country. Let these dogs go.
You have no right to abuse these poor animals.
If you want the hate of the world you must go on with your ILLEGAL action. If you want to loose a lot of tourists you must go on. We will punish you with the only thing you are interested in. Money. I will boycot Greece and a lot of dutch people will do the same.
Please follow the good example of many other countries in the world & realize that animals deserve compassion and kind, humane treatment. Please release these dogs so they have the opportunity to know love & good homes. If your sadistic abuse of animals continues, I will never visit Greece (nor will anyone else I know). Thank you for your consideration.
I am very fortunate to be able to travel anywhere in the world.I just want the Greek government to know that I will never travel to Greece simply because of the way animals are treated there.I also want people to know that there are a lot of Greek people that love animals and that gives me some hope for the future.
Unfortunatelly,the representatives for animals welfare in Greece are a bunch of old ladies, who offer, practically nothing...
Arche Noa, you have our support!
let these dogs go to loving homes waiting for them..the money you are making this organization spend while you detain their animals could be spent saving other animals.
Dreckschweine, auch Euch werden die bösen bestrafen!
Hoffentlich fährt Euch auch einmal ein Auto über die Beine oder besser wäre es, wenn man Euch die Knüppel über Eure dummen Schädel haut! Eben so, wie Ihr es sonst mit den armen Geschöpfen macht!
Man sollte Euch die Gelder aus der EU streichen. Wir wollen nun unsere Hunde wieder zurück. Ihr habt keine gesetzliche Handhabe, diese Tiere zu behalten.
