In spite of Greece's seductive focus on alluring images of pristine, sandy beaches, sacred antiquities and expensive, global, fantasy public relations campaigns, brutality exists in the shadows, the back alleys and the local garbage dumps where animals are tossed like putrid trash to die, suffering and alone. There seems to be an overwhelming amount of Animal Neglect, Animal Abuse, Animal Cruelty, Animal Torture and Animal Murder incidents in Greece and throughout the world.

Too many farmed animals are exploited and cast aside like vermin when their years of "production" have come to an end. Most Greek abbatoirs (slaughterhouses) are never examined by authorities for killing with compassion and animals for food are brutally slaughtered. Greek abbatoirs are a vision of hell.

The poisonings of dogs and cats (allegedly authorized by the municipality) is immoral and uncivilized. Reports of widespread animal abuse and poisonings in Greece continue to circulate.

The ensuing global concern will gather momentum - via the Internet and international media - and in consequence will wreak havoc on the expectations and projected financial outcome from tourism and trade.

Yet this tragedy could so easily be avoided if the Greek government were truly willing to implement nationwide humane reform. Instead, Greek officials disdainfully salute the world with their collective middle finger.

To date, the government's response to nationwide incidents of cruelty towards animals appears to be a perpetual state of inertia and bureaucratic indecision. Legal humane proposals sit idle before parliament while the defenseless animals are taking the proverbial bullet for inhumanity.

Tens of thousands of innocent, unprotected, abandoned animals are suffering and dying agonizing deaths by poisoning, hanging and shooting, as well as by starvation and neglect.

With all of the revenues gained from trade and tourism, not a cent has been spent to alleviate the suffering of sentient beings.

Tell Greece It Is Time To Step Up And Start Protecting The Animals Of Greece!!! It Is Time To Instill And Enforce Stricter Laws And Penalties Against Animal Cruelty In Greece!!!

Greece's gross national product depends upon tourism. Please caution family, friends and associates to avoid vacationing and spending hard earned money in any venue with a proven record of brutality and neglect and the issue of neglect in Greece is horrifying. Turn your compassion and horror into an active, powerful force and a profound influence for change.

Please Sign The Pledge To BOYCOTT ALL TRADE, TOURISM AND PRODUCTS OR MERCHANDISE FROM GREECE, UNTIL GREECE INSTILLS AND ENFORCES STRICTER LAWS AND PENALTIES AGAINST ANIMAL CRUELTY!!!
