Cruelty to animals exists because the majority of Cypriots have yet to understand that animals DO have a right to be treated humanely and that they too have feelings. Animal welfare is a lot better now with the Brits showing the way , in Paphos for instance there are animal sanctuaries looked after by British men and women.
To accept that there is cruelty to animals and then justify this by saying that there is also cruelty in other nations is pure nonsense. The question here is not whether cruelty exists in the UK , where incidentally such cruelty is abhorred by the entire nation without the excuse that it also exists in other countries.
It seems to me that a great number of Cypriots will defend any action that is abhorent by immediately justifying such action because it also exists in other countries.
When something barbaric takes place in Cyprus we must strongly condemn it and do our best to eradicate it.

A recent example of how Brits can take it on the chin and not defend the indefensible was the scandal of British MPs expenses fiasco. Heavily criticised on this forum as indeed elsewhere , but not one single Brit justified the MPs greed by telling us that such abuses of power also exist in Cyprus , and they do exist .
As a Cypriot I face the fact that animal cruelty exists widely and I make sure that those around me are treating animals in a humane kind fashion.

As always milti the voice of sense and reason, you know that many of us British immigrants have Cyprus at heart but don,t have to endure its problems silently. The rest just don,t get it, and frankly they need to come back to live here and see for themselves. Look back thru my posts I am a strong defender of Cyprus and its unending great lifestyle BUT I don,t have to be silent on its faults and won,t be, until they are all ironed out.

Obviously Paphitis finds the fact that I disagree with shooting down civilian aircraft over northern Cyprus hilarious. He also finds it amusing that I do not consider war as an option for solving the Cyprus problem !
Neither do I consider cruelty to animals in Cyprus as excusable which no doubt further amused our Paphitis.
ps.
Hope you had an enjoyable holiday in Cyprus .

Don't tell me you are hallucinating again!

When are you going to realise that if these talks fail, the RoC is left with only one other option which is to suck up to the Yanks, French, Germans, Australians, Canadians, Russians, Chinese, NATO, EU (please note that I exclude the Poms because they have zero influence or relevance in this modern day world ) and spend 50% of all GDP on the most advance weapons systems available and lie in wait for the perfect opportunity! Its either that or permanent partition.

And no I don't support or condone shooting down airliners, unless it has hostile intentions (is hijacked)!

i hope that any brit who leaves their dog behind/dumps a dog when leaving cyprus would be made to pay in the courts.
that also goes for any cypriot who does the same in the uk.

And you really think that the Yanks , French, Germans, Australians, Canadians, Russians, Chinese, NATO, will support war as a solution do you !!!!
My philosophy has already produced a major victor as in the ECJ , more will follow.
Are you really suggesting that even the Chinese will support a war against Turkey ?

[Svetlana]

Now, I don't know if ex-pats leaving Cyprus are abanding their pets or not, but most I know, who have dogs etc love them to pieces and would only 'abandon' them if they really had to.

Why are they being left behind? I suppose if people are leaving because they are in dire financial circumstances, the cost of transporting a pet at this time is a serious consideration.

And where are these people returning to? They are unlikely to have homes in the UK to go to. So they will be returning to stay with relatives, in hotels, or renting an apartment/house, while they get their lives in order again. In all these cases, having a pet may well be out of the question, So, I would suggest that most pet owners leaving their pets here only do so because there is little option.

Has anyone any numbers on these 'abandoned pets?

Listen Ozzieitis although I have just had the pleasure of a visiting Ozzie for a month and you are after all an immigrant too like moi

Born and bred in Oz sweetie...Was born an Aussie and will die an Aussie and a Cypriot at heart!

Have to say I agree with some of the above, but Australians are after all just the prisoners of mother england are they not?

Absolutely not!

Who do you always rely on us to bail you out of the mess you always create?

If they do get into war with any of the surrounding countries which really love them Who will they call on to help? seen as they have an inferior military to many countries their size although brave men in the past I know.

No idea what your talking about.

Australia has one of the most advance and effective Armed Forces in the world and our defence industries are second to none.

As for the economy in Oz its merely a drop in the ocean compared to most, it does have only a few to support after all, and the gold was ravaged out of New South Wales very quickly at the time of its discovery.

I think we are a trillion dollar economy...one of the largest exporters of everything you can think off.

BTW, Australia is the only OECD country not in recession....

Besides most of the worlds most deadly snakes and spiders It has an abundance of fliesthat make ones lives a msery, sharks and deadly sea creatures oh and Rolf Harris

Yes, our spiders and snakes are nasty...but if they are effective at keeping the Brits out then I think I can live with that!

Not to mention searing heat, bush fires, cockroaches, drugs and crime and australian hating mullahs who seem to get as much airtime as the ones in UK

Not quite as hot as Cyprus but yes Australia is a continent of extremes.

Hardly no crime when compared to UK, much less racism, and very cosmopolitan. And, we can afford to buy food for our pets...

BTW, we don't hate anyone, we are just security conscious, and please note how successful we are at weeding out terrorists due to our superior and effective law enforcement agencies and intelligence services.....unlike the UK! That is why you Brits and Yanks keep begging Australia for assistance as you people can't organise a shag in a brothel.

Its also isolated from Europe and practically everywhere else, leading to long ways to travel to soak up some culture.

Who needs culture when you have Aussie Rules...

In fact it all belongs to the wonderful Aborigines and they have rightly now renamed Ayers Rock, Ulurhu as that too belongs to the indigenious people.

I am Aboriginal!

Captain James Cook should have turned around and gone back, like all men though he had something to prove so claimed it as his own.

Captain Cook was another English pansy! Besides, it was the Portuguese that discovered Australia first....

The Ozzies too have a very strange accent and so loud

Poetry in motion....forget the Shakespearean toffee nosed pretentious English crap.

The Brits who leave their animals imho are the lowest shits, as they at least should have known about animal welfare, being taught it in the UK for so long. They should be brought back to Cyprus and made to pay for their evil crimes, trouble is they won,t be made to pay here will they? Hopefully they will be tracked down and prosecuted in the UK. I know one at least that will be hearing soon, with my help

But I already new that the English were the lowest shits, whether they abandon their pets or not...

And yes sweetie...Cyprus does have animal cruelty laws and is probably more effective at enforcing these laws than Britain. We Cypriots are not as simple as you tend to believe.

Ozzieitis I don,t think anyone in Oz is lowly just you

Thanks!

From one tart to another

Oh that's just great....Now I need to have a shower...

BTW...Do you follow the Ashes?

WTF is The Ashes??!!! Oh don,t tell me its that mans game Crikeyite!! Errr No.

Glad your having your annual shower, your visit here recently was obvious to all of us

If you are Aboriginal I take back all I said and bow to your superior intelligence, but you seem to lack sense and forward thinking and your heart being in Cyprus seems to be very hard

Seen as your Ozzie born and bred then perhaps its better that you stay there then, as it seems I know more about Cyprus than you do.

I will one day though come over when I have weeks to spare and have a look around your country, mind you would,nt want to live there for a second and still don,t understand why people do. Its full of male chauvanists I,m told

On a serious note the Cyprus Laws on animal welfare are woefully inadequate and as with many things in Cyprus certainly NOT enforced, but then not living here how could you possibly know that important bit of info.

Post us a pic of your hat with the corks eh?

Yes stupid!

When are you going to realise that world politics are fluid.

I will just give you one example. Indonesia invaded East Timor and occupied it for decades slaughtering thousands of indigenous Portuguese. Australia could not give a damn, until oil and gas was discovered between Timor and Australia. All of a sudden, Australia decided to land its SAS in to secure a beach head. F-18s secured the airspace, F-111 were on standby to soften any targets, Orions were searching for Indonesian Submarines, and the a the Naval LSH and LST fleets were sent in. Dili Airport was secured and then troops were also air lifted in. The Indonesians fled from Timor and there were few skirmishes between them and us. East Timor was effectively liberated in a week with Australian forces securing the countryside village by village.

Things change overnight, but in order to capitalize, some hard work is needed by Cypriot diplomats!

Capish pazano?...

Since when did Cyprus have any diplomats?

You have much to learn Milti, and Cyprus is just a victim of natural selection if everyone is like you, because this world is a jungle where only the strongest and fittest will survive. America and Australia already condone war. We average one war every damn 2 years. We are so far away and yet we are the most war afflicted nation on earth, even more so than Israel. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq1, Iraq2, Afghanistan, Solomon Islands, East Timor, and Somalia. So who is next? North Korea, Iran or will Cypriots start engaging their brains and utilise the very precious resource they have recently discovered within the EEZ and start mentally engaging these countries that will turn on Turkey in a flash provided the carrots you dangle before them are large enough? Will your politicians keep behaving like lunatics which will inevitably allow Turkey to consume you?

Are the Timorese so smart that they convinced Australia to go to war with Indonesia, which is the world's largest Islamic country on earth with its population of 200 million? How on earth did they pull it off?

And don't think Timor did not cost Australia dearly. Aside from Iraq and Afghanistan, Timor is the main reason for the Bali Bombings and why the whole Islamic Jihadist world is gunning for us as we speak!

Your stupidity is mind boggling Miltiades!

Get it through your thick head...Cyprus is running out of options and drastic measures need to be taken before all your resources are wasted without benefiting Cypriots at large apart from providing them with short term wealth. You have something that drives the industrialised world, and it is up to your politicians to awake from their deep slumber and use it as an effective weapon!
