kitties!!!!the plight of the feral cats of greece
november 24th, 2008
many visitors to greece are struck by the sight of legions of cats roaming the streets, dozing in the sun at archaeological sites, and loitering around tavernas looking for a handout. This is so common that many travel sites remark on it and offer advice to travelers about what to do when approached by stray animals, which they claim are generally healthy and unthreatening. Some find this a charming aspect of the travel experience, and web sites and blogs abound with photos such as the ones you see on this page. Others, however, have less pleasant experiences.
Many of the problems facing animals in greece are worldwide problems—abuse, neglect, inhumane farming and slaughtering practices, abandonment, hoarding—but traditional at udes toward animals and lackluster (or nonexistent) governmental involvement have created a crisis situation in greece. Travelers seeking a holiday in the sun encounter diseased, starving, and injured animals that seem to receive no care and to belong to no one. This is especially troubling to visitors who come from countries that closely regulate pet ownership and licensing and are quick to impose sanctions on neglect or abuse. Tourists often feed stray cats but after the tourist season the animals must fend for themselves.
It is typical that pets are allowed to roam at will. Spaying and neutering is not the rule, widely considered to be unnatural, and the inevitable result is frequent litters of unwanted kittens, many of which are killed outright or thrown into the trash. Abandonment of unwanted pets is also widespread, both by citizens and by tourists and visitors who take up with animals during their stay only to discard them when they leave. Stray animals are, at best, ignored and, at worst, brutalized and killed. Poisoning is very common. It is widely believed, although denied by authorities, that thousands of stray dogs and cats were poisoned to clean up the streets and parks before the 2004 olympic games in athens. Municipal shelters are full of animals in appalling condition, with little or no medical care and minimal food and shelter. Many localities have no facilities at all.
As a rule, cats are not valued, even considered to be vermin. They are preyed on by dogs and other predators and killed by householders whose property they invade. Malnutrition, exposure, and contagious disease take a heavy toll. Ocular and respiratory infections are endemic.
After its inclusion in the european union, additional pressure was placed on the greek government to bring its animal policies in line with those of the eu and to enforce existing laws. In 2007 the european commission reported greek authorities to the european court of justice for continuing lack of action for animal welfare. A commission statement added: “the decision to take this action against greece follows persistent shortcomings identified in the field of animal welfare over a number of years. The standard of animal welfare in greece remains below par and the necessary legislation has not been adequately implemented. Therefore, the commission has no alternative but to refer the case to the court of justice.”
as a member of the european union, greece is bound to wide-ranging eu regulations regarding the treatment of animals. The eu regulates the transport of animals and issues “passports” to traveling pets. Welfare groups sometimes are able to transport strays to other eu countries for adoption. Unfortunately, they have been hampered by widespread rumors that the animals are wanted for laboratory experiments or fur rather than as pets and have had to battle with a resistant bureaucracy. There have been numerous instances of officials delaying the removal of animals from greece.
The response to government inaction is the formation of many small shelters and welfare societies by both greek citizens and expatriates. A number of these efforts are affiliated with groups from the uk, germany, scandinavia, the netherlands, elsewhere in europe, and even canada. As a rule these groups are focused on one island or locality. Some have adopted colonies of feral cats and follow trap-neuter-return programs, treating diseased animals, giving inoculations, and neutering to control breeding, often with the help of volunteer veterinarians and technicians from sponsoring countries. Local groups also attempt to find permanent homes for kittens and cats that are tame enough to be adopted. Feeding stations are established that both sustain the cats and provide a means of monitoring their condition and numbers. Some hotels will allow feeding stations to be set up on their grounds.
Education outreach includes the distribution of pamphlets, referrals for veterinary care, and programs for schoolchildren to demonstrate proper care for pets and also to inculcate compassionate at udes toward animals. Other efforts involve write-in campaigns to pressure the greek government to enforce existing animal control laws and to make acts of abuse prosecutable offenses.
There is evidence that programs are becoming effective. Gradually the resistance to neutering is waning. In some localities, at udes are more benevolent and local customs include care for homeless cats. Faced with a deluge of negative publicity, greek animal advocates are working to rehabilitate their country’s shameful image in the eyes of the world.
I fear it won't be possible to ever discuss Greek basketball reasonable at this forum, because KBP will turn any such thread into a troll show. how do you discuss, for example, a player like Spanoulis, when KBP will jump in and flood the thread with posts claiming that Spanoulis is as good or even better than Paul, Williams and Parker? and if you disagree he will throw any insult available in the internet at you.
I'm sorry for you and your people, but Greek and Greek basketball will be a synonym for jokes and trash talk, as long as he is around.
let us stop insults please
A guy with a pink ass talks about gots.
Keep it up sissy.
Every time you kill a kitty, God kills a... Oh, wait, that can't be right...
You are a ing fake European. Everyone knows it. You have obviously NEVER in your life even seen a European basketball game.
maybe he doesn't have comcast.
o, Kettle? This is Pot....you're black.
I just want to say that I really like me some penguins. If I could get a large enough freezer I would get about 12 of them.Penguin Facts
The penguin is an interesting creature which lives in the Antartica. Here are some facts about it.
Penguin Facts
Penguins are cute little birds with legs that are set far down on their bodies. They waddle and hop over rocks. Sometimes they even push themselves along on their stomachs when they are on the snow.Penguins are "countershaded" that is, they are darkly colored on their backs and white on their bellies. Penguins can camouflage themselves very well because of the countershading. As they swim through the water, predators looking up from below are unable to view their white bellies against the light surface of the water, the predators above also have trouble seeing their black backs against the darkness of the deep water.
Penguin Facts
* Penguins are flightless birds.
* Most penguin babies have fluffy feathers.
* Penguins are able to stay underwater with the help of their bones which are solid and heavy.
* Penguins have a breastbone and huge paddle muscles which help them move at speeds of 25 miles per hour.
* While traveling at fast speeds, penguins leap out of the water every few feet. This action is called "Porpoising." Porpoising helps penguins breathe. The chances of being spotted by another animal is also greatly reduced because of porpoising.
* About 75% of a penguins life is spent in water, where they do all their hunting.
* Most of the time penguins breed in large colonies called rookeries.
* Penguins closer to the Equator feed on fish while those closer to the Antarctica eat more squid and krill.
* Penguins stay warm with the help of a thick layer of blubber and a waterproof body covering.
* Smaller penguins inhabit warmer climates whereas larger penguin species are found in warmer climates.
* Penguins are found on every continent in the southern hemisphere, from the tropical Galapagos Islands off South America to the Antarctica.
* There exist about 18 different species of penguins in the world.
* The natural enemies of penguins are seals and killer whales.
* Adult penguins incubate and feed their chicks in turns, once they have hatched.
* The King and Emperor penguins lay one egg each while other species lay two.
* The fairy penguin is the smallest and is 16 inches tall and weighs 2.2 pounds. The largest is the emperor penguin which is 3.7 feet tall and weighs 60 to 90 pounds.
Despite threats from other animals, penguins and their habitats are also threatened due to global warming, oil spills, pesticides and construction. Various organizations are doing their best to prevent global warming and save these beautiful creatures and their habitats.
ah ja. jetzt wird es wirklich lustig. dass du keine zwei Worte Griechisch sprichst, wissen mittlerweile ohnehin alle hier. das eine Wort, das du offensichtlich in jeder Sprache nachgeschlagen hast, reicht halt nicht aus, um als Grieche durchzugehen. aber für den el "größter Schwachkopf aller Zeiten" stehen die Chancen gut. Du bist wirklich ein bedauernswert armseliges Würstchen.

thanks for keeping us up on SPURS news, seeing as this is in the SPURS forum...
Gosh, Greece is so impressive and good, beating 3rd rate eastern european tiny counties...cant' wait until they start playing some real teams. But maybe by that time, this thread will be in the correct FORUM.
Because SPURS fans might (or might not) give a crap about the GREEK NT.
Just saying.
Latvia is not a low level European team idiot. They are predicted by odds makers to make the quarterfinals of Eurobasket. Serbia is ranked 5th in the entire world dumb ass.
Then GTFO of the thread and stay out of it.
I request for the mods to stop allowing the endless lies, racism, hatred, filth and trash that is posted here DAILY degrading Greece, Greek culture, Greek people, Greek basketball, etc.
There are forum rules in place for now allowing such to be done to other countries here and so this ing racist towards Greece needs to stop. I have had enough of it. I have asked nicely many times for it to stop and it never stops.
I have argued and told people to off and stop it and NOTHING. It just never ends. This site has become a pure racist site with extreme hatred and lies towards anything related to Greece and it needs to stop.
PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
*crickets*
Are we in the Spurs forum twilight zone here ?
