Take it up with the RSPCA who say...

"We cannot allow this senseless slaughter to proceed. "

It a a cull to stop the spread of bovine tb. Implemented by government with special license. There is animal cruelty in the UK, alot goes un noticed some is prosecuted. If you call a small fine and a small ban on keeping animals for a short period a punishment.
I know of a cypriot hunter who was fined £1500 and had his gun taken, for shooting a hare out of season.

Well that proves that animal cruelty is a punishable offence in Cyprus.

GG, I hope you read this.

Did you email the links I posted, to your friends GG or are they not interested in American animal cruelty like yourself?

my friends are very interested in animal cruelty.
i forwarded the link about signing the petitition, becaus THAT is what THIS thread is about--animal cruelty in CYPRUS.

Thanks for being honest...

Btw, seeing you love animals so much, are there any plans to start an international petition against the United States for being the world's premier perpetrator of animal cruelty?

the USA is also the worlds leader in prosecution of people who abuse and neglect animals. but this thread is about CY and not USA, so stop trying to sidetrack the thread.

Why are you skirting around the issue yourself. Why not start a petition for cruelty to animals in the USA? I will sign that as well. Willing to sign a petition in Australia as well if that helps.

Why are you so happy to highlight animal cruelty in CYPRUS and yet overlook the USA?

the thread is about CY, not USA...that's why. maybe both you and GR should learn how to read.

Do you see a need to start a petition for the USA or not?

I for one am willing to help you guys in the USA and judging from those links, you probably need all the help you can get. My primary objective is animal welfare. Is that your primary concern as well?

Bafidis,

My opinion on a USA petition malarky is that in the US of A, there are laws against cruelty to animals. Where evidence is provided action is taken and culprits are punished. Would you say if this is the case in Cyprus? It certainly is not in parts I know. Its who you know in Cyprus, which decides who is prosecuted or not.

[purdey]

Yes of course it is punishable. It is just not emblazened over the press like it is in the UK.

Bafidis, since when is hunting classified as cruelty. I hate hunting but I would have regarded them as different offences.

[15] 'Water-skiing' donkey owner faces charge
By a Staff Reporter
A DONKEY owner who tied his unfortunate animal to a raft and had it towed behind a speedboat off Larnaca faces prosecution by the Veterinary Services, it was reported yesterday.

The unsavoury stunt was recorded by television cameras and splashed across TV screens on last Tuesday evening. The donkey had its four legs tethered to the makeshift raft while his grinning owner rode on his back across the waves.

The owner told reporters he wanted to get into the Guinness Book of Records with his stunt but, as Phileleftheros newspaper reported yesterday, he is now having the book thrown at him by the veterinary service.

A government vet said the animal had been ill-treated and could have drowned if it had ended up in the sea. The owner is expected to face charges of animal abuse.

Hi Deniz,

The above proves that cruelty to animals is punishable in Cyprus, as it is in the USA.

As for nepotism, well I beleive that this disease is not only evident in Cyprus but it exists all over the world, including the USA. If this were not the case then OJ Simpson would be in jail.
