Well, there's a typical Cypriot response eh? you are notjust animal haters, you are Brit haters too arn't you? AND I aint English, AND I aint broke, far from it. Cypriots are a bunch of ignorant morons, look at you trying to take the heat off your countrymen by pointing the finger at ISOLATED cases elsewhere.Cruelty is the NORM in Cyprus, teach your old YA Ya's, they live in ignorance. Members of the EU? what a joke. Turkish Cypriots treat their animals with respect, treat other humans with respect, they deserve to be EU members, YOU don't.
Oracle, I challenge you, explain why the Cypriot poisons animals with Lanate??? pet animals that is, cats and dogs who belong to family's??? make them suffer such torture???

Lanate poisoning of dogs and cats does happen here in the North - there are weekly warnings about it in the newspapers. The main problem is the amount of strays, if this problem were tackled more effectively then maybe the poisonings would stop. I am sorry about your cats, and those who put the poison down should be punished, but animal cruelty isn't just a Cypriot thing, and you cannot tarnish a whole country for the actions of a few. I lived in a small village when I first moved here and I was always amused by the chickens running around loose (we didn't get many of those in Southend) , but over time I saw this less and less - and do you know why? It was because of stray dogs. And who encourages these packs of stray dogs? Its foreigners who think they are being kind by feeding them. Packs of dogs would normally be driven off - certainly not encouraged. Its altogether a sad situation, but one that could be put right with a sensible programme of neutering.

Cypriots are a nation who poison animals with Lanate. I have just had three of my cats poisoned in this way, my grandson had to watch his pet cat suffer then die. If I could find the perpetrator, I would purchase this Lanate, as you can easily, and stick it up his sick Cypriot axxe, see how they like it. This happens on a daily basis over the island, the Vet told me this. Well, I will not live amongst barbarians, my family and I are off back to civilization, and will never, ever, return to this place. Cyprus is a third world country, full of ignorance, so, why would any civilized person want to live here? when I return home, I will be making people aware of what the Cypriot really is like, a complete contrast to what the holiday maker see's, and I was one of them! I must have been bloody mad!!!

Another Cyprus basher. Pray tell us where this paradise is you are returnıng to.

All is clear now - a kuntish tnct lover - need we say more?

Now, now Bill. She is just ignorant. Poisoning goes on in the north too. Someone please tell her. She /he is not wanted there either.

Could it be the UK? Where they are not only cruel to animals, but abuse children too!!

Very sorry to hear about your cats Trustme. Its difficult to generalise but the attitude of most Cypriots I know is "it's only an animal". A considerable number of Cypriots have visited our home over the years, I don't recall one ever making a fuss over our cats or dog but most Brits loved them to bits. One of my cousins wouldn't stay with us because we kept the dog in the house, another told we could leave our dog in her garage if we called round. When peple have this sort of attitude its easy to see how some will go one step further and poison "nuisance" pets. Animal cruelty exists all over the world but anyone who denies the "it's only an animal" attitude of Cypriots can't see the reality on the island. If Cypriots really care about animal poisoning Lanate would have been banned years ago.

Maybe it's just simply a hygiene issue. I've never clashed with any other culture as much as the GC and Greek one for fastidiousness in that department. One of my close English friends was laid low, with a selection of antibiotics, for over a month, recovering from Campylobacter caught by kissing her puppy.

You are so right Jerry , this attitude I encountered many times , my dog comes to work with me every day apart from Saturday when he has a day off.
He has his own flat bed in my office and acts a s a guard dog too since we operate Western Union as well .
At home he has his own bed in a spare bedroom .
Boxers are so boisterous but Max is now 11 years old and has become grumpy , a bit like me !!!
He is quite ok with customers but lately he doesn't like to be stroked by strangers , Deniz has met him a few times !!!

And we had this discussion before. Those meat eaters who pretend to be "animal lovers" are hypocrites. How many chickens did you eat this year? Watch the following video and then remember that you are driving the demand for these things and that these methods of killing were probably not invented in Cyprus but by some "animal lover" countries

What is the relevance of this to the poisoning of cats in Cyprus, stupid ?

Thats right, and I am terrified of his innocent glare at me. He thinks my skinny legs are his next lunch.

Just kidding. He is lovely, really. One day he was not there and I was saddened. He was only being exercised by Yiannis the second.
