Anybody ever figure out why some people poison cats and dogs? If we get to the why then things might get easier.

Is there any protection for farmers parallel of the British Countryside act which allowes farmers to shoot dogs that worry livestock? With no such self protection available farmers have to do something.

Think someone gave CBBB a big wooden spoon for christmas....Likes to try and stir it up. Best ignored I think.

You didn't say "Start an Animal Rights Liberation Front and go round quietly knocking off the sick B>>>>>>> who are poisoning these defenceless animals...! "?

Does that not suggest killing humans because of the way they treat animals?

I know I have been here for a while, but I still understand English, which is more than I can say for some of the ex-pats that post here.

Under…“Phallism Under Christianity”

“I have referred to the great temple of Aphrodite at Paphos, in Cyprus, where a white conical stone, anointed in feast-days, was the emblem of the goddess. Paphos is now Kuklia: one of these miserable villages which for two thousand years have sprawled over the site of all the glory of the Greco-Roman world. As late as 1896 a British traveler, D.G. Hogarth, describing his visit to Kuklia ("A Wandering Scholar in the Levant"), wrote that he found the peasants of the district still, once a year, solemnly anointing the corner stones of the ruined temple of Aphrodite! They recited charms, and made passes through perforated stones, to remove the barrenness of their women and increase the virility of their men. Moslems and Christians joined in the phallic rites, and both said that they did this "in honor of the maid of Bethlehem." ”

I hate the use of poison, it's very cruel. Our local dog charity (KAR) are recommending that you take your dog out wearing a muzzle so they can't pick up scraps in the street. But I have also seen the damage that packs of stray dogs can cause. Some village women keep chickens, and they get (and rightly so) angry when they lose their stock. Other people get angry when rubbish is strewn all over the road. There is a pack of dogs in Kyrenia which use one of the main roundabouts as a "resting place" and cause absolute chaos when they decide to move on.

Culling would be preferable to slow death by poison, and then education to teach that it is not cruel to neuter dogs. As for the hunters who shoot their "underperformers" thats a different thing, but I would rather the animal be shot, than left up in the mountains to die of thirst and starvation. With regards Cyprus being a cruel country, I don't think it's any worse than other countries, my friend came back from 3 years in Gambia with some real horror stories!!!

But i do feel like nothing will happen till a child gets poisoned....

You are deliberately missing the point of all that has been said to you ... or just incredibly thick!

Nothing you have said suggests this problem only occurs in Cyprus, EU or not! It happens worldwide and it certainly happens in the UK and France etc ... or should they not be in the EU?

So what is your point? Have you made some great discovery that proves Cypriots are the only "race" on Earth that appear cruel to animals?

Now you are appearing like an insult to the poor dumb animals you are supposedly concerned about .....

[JimB]

On a side note - have the local police arrested that hunter yet for shooting his dog three times?

[Oracle]

Is the "three times" essential to making it a criminal offence or do you just enjoy repeating it?

Sadists ....
