The funny thing is piratis... we are superior, you have just proved yourself to be inferior in your mentallity, and you sounded all of about 7 years old.. just a need to be right regardless of putting any real thought into your statements, nor anything very intelligent to add to the thread. I am in no doubt there will be another tirade of purile rubbish to counteract what i am saying but it doesnt hold any power because your credibility has already been discounted. so rant away, i have already moved off to find someone that has something far more intelligent to say.. ! gone!!!

Huh? But I have Cypriot parents, so what are you talking about? It has nothing to do with racism. You're the racist one, for so quickly assuming that I am British and have British parents. Although I must admit, I get on better with English people, as they have a general fondess for dogs and cats, such as myself. My remark towards Olga, simply meant that she has moved to Cyprus, an island that she regards as paradise, and everything seems so rosy to her at the moment. That's how it was with my brothers Russian wife. She moved here, thought the people were friendly and warm.. and then after a couple of years, reality hit her, and she was more aware of the darker side of many Cypriots that live here.

I am ashamed of many Cypriots... and those who share the same views as me, also feel the same.

doglover, I already answered your question:

If you consider an animal your private property then you should keep it with you or within your property. If somebody comes within your property to harm your dogs, cats etc then this person is violating the law and can be prosecuted.

If you leave your dogs around shitting and peeing at other peoples properties and maybe endanger some people (some dogs are not always friendly) then if something happens to your dog will be your fault.

However from what you said ("start killing the donkeys and goats") it is even more obvious that you don't care about animals, just for your pets, therefore why pretend to be "animal lovers" and such?

So If your problem is that somebody has harmed your property (your pet) then you are right. Beyond that you have no right to call yourself "animal lover" and accuse others of being cruel with animals etc, as you are not any better.

For me the life of an animal in a farm that is scheduled to be slaughtered tomorrow so that you and your dog will eat it, has the exact same value as the life of your dog. Do you have a problem with that?

Errrr, where in my posts did I say "I am an animal lover" ???? I don't think I generalized, including cows and pigs in that category. Could you please quote me on that, dear? And yes, I have every right to fight for something I feel so strongly about. Especially when psychotic people lay down poison for dogs that don't belong to them, knowing that they are putting a dog through so much agony, including the owner that will grieve over them.

I said that I love cats and dogs, and can't stand people mistreating them. That was what my original post was about. Dogs and cats are usually considered to be domestic animals in most countries. How could a billion people be wrong?

The funny thing is piratis... we are superior

Thanks for proving my point.

My remark towards Olga, simply meant that she has moved to Cyprus, an island that she regards as paradise, and everything seems so rosy to her at the moment.

And what do you know about me, doglover? What made you think that I have come to Cyprus recently? I've been here for several years, and know perfectly about the "dark side".

In every country there is a "dark side" and in every country there are some idiots that torture the animals.

But my point is the same, if you say you love animals for real, love them all and not only those "privilleged".

[doglover]

No no Piratis... don't take her wrong. What she meant was... we are superior than YOU.

What is wrong with you? Why can you not comprehend what it is I am actually saying? You said you have a dog and cat... let's say I came and poisoned them, and you saw them have their last breath. Would it not make you even MORE aware of the cruelty to animals in Cyprus, and make you want to do something about it?

And when I say 'animals' you know which animals I am referring to. Dogs and cats. If you really were aware of the dark side of Cyprus, then you would admit that it is a serious problem here, and agree that the government needs to stand up and take action.

And no Olga... there is nowhere near as many cases of dogs and cats being poisoned in the UK. There are SOME sick individuals that murder dogs and cats, as well as other animals... but only because there is something seriously wrong with their brain chemistry. Like I said... English people generally love cats and dogs more than Cypriot people do!

[doglover]

And Olga... if I were to meet you in person, I would grab you by your hair and shake you about... to bring you to your senses, and make you realise the real problem at hand. = poisoning of dogs and cats in Cyprus.

[doglover]

"In every country there is a "dark side" and in every country there are some idiots that torture the animals. "

There aren't only 'SOME' sick idiots here that poison dogs and cats. This is a small island, and the population isn't as great as other countries. Like I said... people report their pets being poisoned EVERY DAY. It IS a big problem here, due to the mentality and upbringing.

If it was one case of a dog or cat being poisoned each year, then I would have to agree with you, but since it's not... please keep quiet.

rrrr, where in my posts did I say "I am an animal lover" ???? I don't think I generalized, including cows and pigs in that category. Could you please quote me on that, dear?

Your title is labeled "Animal Cruelty in Cyprus " Suggesting that in Cyprus animals are treated in any way worst than any other country, when in fact thats not the case.

I said that I love cats and dogs, and can't stand people mistreating them.

I can understand that, I feel the same. Indians can't stand it when we eat cows. Koreans love their dog meat etc. This means that people are different not that some are better than others.

Therefore when you come into a different country than the one you are used to, then you have to accept the different ways of your new country and not to pretend that you are "superior" and that others should do what you do.
