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.

Lana


Lanate will break down before the produce ever arrive to the market so this will pose no danger to people.

Using them as suicide cat bombers against the Turkish Army might work well... :D

At least they could be put to good use! :lol:

and people should stop feeding hungry people too.

and people should all just mind their own business, and if they see someone who has fallen, they should just keep walking right past them.
