If they are Cypriot owners, chances are, they haven't gone far. Sounds like they have returned already.

I was just concerned about the number of (seriously) abandoned pets which money-strapped Brits seem to have left littering the island ...

For example:

British pets abandoned on Cyprus find new life in Germany


Stray pets on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, abandoned by hard-hearted ex-pat British victims of the credit crunch, are finding new homes with animal lovers in Germany.

How matter of fact your first sentence is when you find they are NOT foreign. Your intelligence that you show occasionally falls down badly when your remarks are so biased.

Look you silly mare, nationality has sod all to do with animal cruelty, the behaviour of any 'persons' who show unbelievable cruelty/neglect/abandonment to a defenceless animal is always lifes 'bottom feeder,' fact, and those of us who do care would,nt give a damn WHO does it, its just more important to catch them and get them prosecuted, named and shamed and banned for life from owning anything that breaths

Not a single person has an excuse, I have witnessed far too much cruelty here in a short space of time BUT the important issue here is to get animal welfare police appointed to address the problem and the govt to put some money towards it, as it astonishly does,nt very much now

Those that are cruel to animals are no doubt cruel to their children too so we need to catch them.

Previous studies have shown that the bulk of offenders are male, and a study in New Jersey in 1983 shows that those who abuse animals also perpetrate domestic assaults and child abuse. It has been found there is a strong connection between animal abusers and serious criminal behaviour, and studies worldwide suggest serial killers started off as animal abusers,

Its obvious those that abuse animals tend to opt for ones unable to put up much resistance. Brave that they so are.

Suitable punishment for these people would be for them to be given to animal lovers for a few weeks to inflict misery on them. Tied up with no food and water for a while, might change their twisted little minds.

Sometimes O I wonder how you sleep at night, but then maybe with your active and unkind mind you probably don,t.

To be British and cruel to animals is an exception , to be Cypriot and cruel to animals is understandable , alas many of us have yet to realize the fact that these animals are consumed with the same feelings as we are . hunger , pain and above all love and devotion to their immediate family which is something that some of us humans simply dont have.
Bubbles did what almost every Brit would have done. Let us presume that she had rung the fire brigade, The conversation would have gone something like this : Re Sotiri , re akou re , eshi mian egglezza re che lali mou oti eshi enan shilloui che pina re !!! Na fai pou pano tou koumbare mou man'ehoun alli doulia na kamnoun gamoto ! Petis na pa na .....

You really do take the biscuit
You obviously have no feelings for this poor little puppy or it's welfare - and you jump onto any thread where you can slag off any other nationality, especially the Brits. For once in your life show some compassion and support you twisted wizened old witch

For all others - no further news re the puppy - yet!

[SSBubbles]

Hi guys
It appears that my neighbours have moved out of their apartment and abandoned their little puppy. She now has no food or water - the gate is locked and we are not sure if we can gain access. I called the police - to no avail. At this time of night the Government vets and Mayor's offices are naturally closed - no emergency contact numbers available.
Can anyone help us please - we are growing desperate. The man at one of the pounds said that he could possibly help us tomorrow - but what about NOW?
Location - centre of Limassol

are you going to try keep it? im sorry my knowledge is limited on this subject but get real seems to know a lot on it.. climb over try find another way in or ask some neighbours who might know them and have a key

palio - read all the thread and you will be up to speed.

Things must work differently in Polis...

Down here in far away Pissouri there is a huge problem of dogs abandoned by Cypriots....

I'm not saying that no expat has ever abandoned one or been cruel to animals but it is rare compared to the local problem.

I've rescued and re-homed fifteen myself and many in the village have done much more than me...

Each year the hunting season brings hundreds of abandoned animals that aren't up to scratch - the motorway between here and Limassol is strewn with the mangled carcasses of dogs that have either wandered onto it or just been left by the side of it...

We had a box full of puppies left outside our door - starving and dehydrated we couldn't save them all...

The local rescue centres are full of abandoned dogs...

Still, must be a local thing...

I got the gist of it Milti. It aint funny.....................or was it?

Let us hope that the puppy is now safe.

I am still laughing as Bubbles 'alleged' phone conversation. B would have given them a piece of her mind for sure.

It is a bloody disgrace that Cypriots treat their dogs so fucking badly , not all of them , but the majority. A dogs or a cats life matters nought . Neither does that of the birds . Sitting in my garden and listening to the birds orchestra is such a devine pleasure incomparable to any other sound one gets in the garden , yet these birds are hunted and killed because these thick uncouth peasants think its a delicacy , well if they listen for a second to song birds they will discover what a real "delicacy " is.
What annoys me more is that so many of us Cypriots are only too ready to demote these animal cruelty and offer equations with cruelty in other countries .I dont give a toss if the Brits , the Germans the Afghanistanis are more cruel than we are the fact of the matter is that we are cruel to animals and it takes a Cypriot Charlie to shout it out. Brothers start being civilized as far as animals are concerned , and stop this barbaric custom of killing song birds so that some pissed macho idiot can enjoy them as a delicacy, I say to him , go for AMELETITA , much meatier and ...no bones !!

There have been a number of articles recently suggesting this is a growing problem with money-strapped Brits, lacking rabies-vaccinations for their pets, inevitably leaving in a hurry and therefore abandoning their pets.

My point was that if these people of Bubbles' are Cypriots, they probably haven't left the island and as she has now said, it sounds like they have come back and picked up the puppy.

My wife was not amused when I told her you showed me your 'Ameletita last week. They indeed looked lovely and cooked by an expert.

When you respond to posts as 'what a load of bollocks', it gives it a whole new meaning.

I've been in Pissouri 7½ years... I can assure you the problem isn't caused by cash-strapped Brits leaving....
