Tragedy for Animals in Nafplion
It was a tragic weekend for the stray animals in Greece. In addition to the terrible beating of the two puppies I reported earlier, there were numerous poisonings of both dogs and cats in another village. Sadly, this is a continuing reality in Greece, which is why we are working with local Greek animal advocates to educate the population on this cruel practice, as well as sterilization and humane treatment.
On Saturday 6th March, 3 cats were poisoned and died in Kapodistriou Street, prior to that 4 more cats poisoned in Pronia, 2 cats found poisoned behind the hospital and 2 dogs died together, both poisoned, in the old town of Nafplion. This is just an example of crimes committed in the last week. Please write, politely, to the Mayor of Nafplion, Mr. Panagiotis Anagnostaras expressing your concern and disgust as these are not isolated incidents, in fact becoming quite common place in his Municipality now. You might also point out that this may likely have a negative impact on tourism. His email address is nafpldim@otenet.gr
