Where is Dr J when you need him

What I don't understand is, are there animal shelters in the South, and if so what is the problem, and if not then why not?

Just look after them there and find them new owners and make regulations about who can and can't own pets, simple really.

Ironically, the British do a great job with their system over there and Cypriots should take note.

to be fair i have seen the same situation regarding stray and abandoned dogs on your side as well Shahmaran

I absolutely HATE the way they deal with animals on my side!

But then they never claim to be European in the first place, nor I believe they could possibly afford to do anything about it at the moment.

The South is filthy rich and surely they can afford to open a few pounds and surely they must have some EU regulations and laws for animals.

WE have MANY animals living on the streets and if they are lucky they will be living around nice people such as me who feeds them every day and takes them to the vet.

If they are not, then the chances are they will either survive on their own or die soon or later

There are a number of animal shelters run by charities. The problem is that the ones that do not practice euthanasia are always full and have no room for newcomers.

Culling is definitely an option that should be looked at to get the number of strays down to a manageable number.

There is me thinking you would have more humane methods being an EU country and all that

Why kill!?

Sterilize them, stop them from reproducing if you must, but don't stop them from living their lives, how barbaric...

So what, sterilise them and let them continue their wretched existence? I wasn't talking about shooting them on sight, capturing them and then "putting them to sleep" humanely.

You think animals cannot have a life of their own outside someones garden or apartment flat?

Or they are not able to look after themselves unless they have a collar around their neck with a human dragging it around like a decorative item?

What is humane about "killing" a perfectly healthy animal because you do not think they are living a decent life?

Cyprus apathy and complete indifference to the situation.

Nobody wants it to change, animal cruelty is here to stay.

Hi there
Just a question, where can we walk the dog without problem?
I know on the beach is impossible, and some garden as well, today an agent of the municipal parking or a traffic police was tellling me that I am not allow to walk my dog on the parking!!!! even I have a bag with me, so anyone can tell me where can I walk my dog legally?
In France, we are allow to walk our dog everywhere as long we have a bag and hold the dog with lead or leash
Thanks
Yves
