Two Puppies Beaten and Left to Die In Ioannina Greece
Two puppies in Ioannina Greece were found beaten with wood on March 6. The perpetrator is said to be one of the night watchmen at the local hospital and because of the screams of the puppies and the proximity to some of the hospital wards, the incident was witnessed by members of staff and hospital visitors. The police were called. Nothing happened and none of the supposed witnesses will come forward to say who committed the crime. One puppy was killed. The other was left half dead with serious head injuries. Her cries could be heard all over the hospital grounds. Despite this, no efforts had been made to help her apart from some milk and bread being left by nurses. The puppy is semi conscious, unable to eat or drink and was found curled up on top of her dead brother. She is about 3 months old. It has been snowing, cold and rainy. She is warm tonight
thanks to rescuers but whether she will live remains to be seen.
Ioannina is one of the areas where inside/out is concentrating our educational work to help stop these kinds of tragic events from happening. Please consider joining us in Greece in May on our Humanitourism™ adventure in Greece. Be a part of changing the tragic lives of these dogs.

Greek people are cruel and heartless. I will never spend tourism dollars in that country.

Not all Greek people are cruel and heartless, there are individuals and small groups who are fighting to change attitudes there. And many of these behaviors are based on ignorance, which is why our focus with Humanitourism™ is to provide education. We work together with Greeks trying to make change in their own country. If you feel strongly about not spending tourism dollars there, I would urge you to write a polite letter to the ministry of tourism and let them know that Greece’s treatment of animals must change if you are to spend money in their country.
