I have just sent this message to those 2 emails

Subject: Tourism is Greece

Dear Sir

I am completely disappointed with the news that have appeared in mass media about cases of horrific cruelty to animals that happen in your country. Greece is a beautiful country, with its monuments and landscapes, but not enough to make me go there to spend my holydays. The compassion and humanity of people is also important. I'm sorry to tell you that I, my family and friends will boycott tourism in Greece, as long as such atrocities last in your country, that become hell for innocent animals and that I `m spreading these horrible acts to the whole world.
Hope sincerely you take strong and quickly action against this situation. All world is taking knowledge about the way animals are treated in Greece.

Thank you for your attention

Cristina Seiça

Coimbra, Portugal

Now I `m going to write a similar letter to the Prime Minister

Julie, believe it, they are very cruel to animals in Greece. Check the following URL and you will read and see the truth.

http://www.wagny.net/#/theillusion/4522002182

It says on the web site that a petition of 80,000 was sent to the government but the atrocities still continue.

This particular case is really bad, it looks like they barbecued the dog first and then they hung it.

I don't understand how the EU allows such countries to be members.

Eleni M makes a good comment.

in additon to writing to the e-mail addresses given plus to PM of Greece -does anyone know who the relevant EU minister is for us all to write to as this refelcts on the EU.

I will send e-mails and faxes. I agree - If we can letters and e-mails en masse are more effective than a petition.

Another option - can we get this to the UK media -I am sure a lot of the tourist in Greece come from the UK and they are a nation of 'dog lovers'.The Daily Mail does a lot of expose stories re cruelty

We need to do all we can - like in China etc we musn't cave under the sheer volume of cruelty

Greece and China (among others) has been off my travel list for a long time for their abhorrent treatment of animals. My vacation would turn into some kind of stray and abused rescue event instead of enjoying myself - to no effect bc I couldn't get them out of the country.

No, I won't comment. Don't think you all would understand. But, in all you do on this site and in these News stories, keep an open mind. If you would like to know how I see this, send a mail with subject 'What's the Comment?'. Will give you a clue tho, I DON'T like what I see here.

Please remove the photo because it is from CHINA not from CHANIA and has nothing to do with the terrible event there! You actually harm animal welfare instead of helping by publishing wrong pictures!

To Patricia N.and Julie Van Niekerk:

If you think that all Greeks do that you are seriously deluded. There are actually Greeks here in Greece who actually care about the wellbeing of strays.

My mom's office in Thessaloniki actually gather money and at the end of the month they give everything away to people who have shelters for the stray dogs and cats so they can be fed, vaccinated and neutered/sprayed.

Not every Greek is as evil as the people who did this to the poor dog.
