Suggestions?
spay and neuter programs work the best.
and again i ask---i thought lanate had become illegal in cyprus. ?????
Apparently not GG. As far as I know it can still be purchased.
The Government doesn't seem to be interested in funding a spay and neuter program.
I think that their alternative method of sorting the problem out is the issuing of lots of student visas to Chinese nationals (taking into account what I have seen on the news in the last couple of days)!
maybe i am a bit too american, but i believe a government is run by the people, for the people, so maybe the people should start speaking up.
even without a government funded program, it is not all that expensive to spay or neuter a pet. cheaper, by far, than the alternative.
i do recall seeing sometrhing a few months ago (within the past year) that there was a spay/neuter program being started in some of the larger cypriot cities. maybe you should look into that again, and ask the media to start covering it, and other pet issues.
