rounded up, dumped into a truck and driven 'out of sight' ... then

chained to trees and left to their fate .... or would have been, had

one vigilant Greek woman not recorded with her camera and exposed

" STRAY CRIMES "

 

After having read the articles on how the largest British animal

welfare organization (the RSPCA) disapproves of the way Greece is

handling the strays in view of the Olympic Games, the residents of

the city of Herakleio were stirred up at the sight of tens of

wounded animals. The people report that the municipal employees

were stacking the strays in a truck to remove them from being in the

way for the torch race.

 

The municipal employees of Herakleio tied the strays under trees and

bushes. According to the local residents the strays were

transported, piled on each other, in a truck and during the drive

they started fighting and biting each other.

 

One of the locals had her camera and recorded a dog dying a slow

death after being bitten on the throat and the chest. Another

puppy had lost its eye while several other dogs remained wounded and

chained to tree trunks.

 

***and a report on a separate incident:

 

On Tuesday morning members of animal welfare groups met with the

chief of the local police station of Aghia Marina, at the

establishment where the journalists will be set up during the

Olympics. They reported that tens of animals have disappeared on

this site and they claim that there is an organized plan to wipe out

the animals. A little later, when they asked to see the animals,

the animals were gone.
