Little Momo has recovered from her traffic accident injury and has now found a home with a family who already has a rescue dog!
We wish her all the best in her new ventures and hope many more dogs have similar happy endings!

The Cretan Animal Welfare Group took part in a demonstration lead by the Hania Animal Protection Society, protesting against any form of animal abuse on the 19th of June 2010.
Percussionists, representation of barrel dogs living conditions, sounds of animals used in experiments and NGOs from across the island preparing banners… these were just a few of the things creating the atmosphere during the run up to the demonstration walk on Saturday afternoon in Chania Market Square.
The media took great interest in the event and were present to take statements from the organizing committee which would be aired on Kydon, Creta Channel and Kriti TV!
With the temperatures soaring to a staggering 30+ degrees Celsius, passionate advocates of animal welfare marched through town with police escort, chanting, holding banners and distributing leaflets! Onlookers congratulated us, some looked puzzled but none remained indifferent.
‘Science has proven that animals are sentient beings. Humans, as animals with the ability of logic, have a moral obligation to respect, protect and not abuse other animals.’
Thank you to everyone who helped organize and participated in the event!

According to Europgroup for Animals, Greek central authorities have been criticised by the FVO for failing take sufficient action to ensure the welfare of animals in its import/transit control system and border inspection posts. For example, the authorities were unaware of legislative requirements for the entry of birds and pet animals.

English (Ελληνικά παρακάτω)
*Note: if you are going to Chania for the protest, please let us know if you need transport or if you have space in your vehicle!)
The abuse cycle in Crete and beyond continues.
The indifference and the talk of future plans by the people responsible also continues.
This is why we react in various ways including demonstrations.
We CALL on each socially sensitized citizen from the whole country to be present and say ”enough now” to animal abuse in our country and of course Crete, which seems to be at the forefront.
The demonstration meeting will take place in the Market Square of Chania, 19th of June (Saturday) at 11.00 am. Join us in the most central part of town with lots of happenings, barrels with chained dogs, hung dogs, painful screams of animals used for experiments, percussionists, advocates from animal welfare societies, pet shop marches, cyclists and car drivers with pictures of abused animals and placards will roughly be the content of this meeting and demonstration.
It is worth those from beyond Crete spending a day and some money to join us in protest.
Please, all of you who receive this message, send it to everyone who may be interested and help us create more noise.
Thank you.
We believe that on the 26th of June, there will be a national demonstration outside municipal buildings against abuse. Please be present there too!

*Σημείωση: εάν πάτε στα Χανιά για την διαμαρτυρία, παρακαλούμε ενημερώστε μας αν χρειάζεστε μεταφορικό ή εάν έχετε κενές θέσεις στο αυτοκίνητο σας!)
Ο χορός των κακοποιήσεων στην Κρήτη αλλά και παντού καλά κρατεί.
ΚΑΛΟΥΜΕ τον κάθε κοινωνικά ευαισθητοποιημένο πολίτη από όλη την χώρα, να δηλώσει με την παρουσία του στην συγκέντρωσή μας ” το φτάνει πια” στις κακοποιήσεις κάθε ζώου στην χώρα μας και στην Κρήτη , που μάλλον κρατάει τα σκήπτρα.
Στην συγκέντρωση, στην πλατεία της Αγοράς στα Χανιά, στις 19 Ιουνίου , ημέρα Σάββατο και 11 η ώρα τo πρωί, στο πιο κεντρικό σημείο της πόλης, πολλά δρώμενα, βαρέλια με αλυσοδεμένα σκυλιά, “κρεμασμένα ζώα”, cd με φωνές και ουρλιαχτά πόνου πειραματόζωων,κρουστά τύμπανα, χαιρετιστήρια φιλοζωικών φορέων του Εξωτερικου, σταμάτημα της πορείας έξω από τα pet-shops ζώων, ποδηλάτες και αυτοκίνητα με φωτογραφίες κακοιποιημένων ζώων, συνθήματα και πανώ θα είναι το περιεχόμενο περίπου της συγκέντρωσης και πορείας.
Αξίζει να θυσιάσουν και οι εκτός Κρήτης μια ημέρα και λίγα χρήματα για να συμμετάσχουν
στην συγκέντρωση.
Παρακαλούμε πάρα πολύ, όλους τους αποδέκτες του μηνύματός μας, να το στείλουν όπου
μπορούν και την επόμενη εβδομάδα να προσπαθήσουν καθημερινά να προπαγανδίζουν την
συγκέντρωσή μας.
Ευχαριστούμε,
Πιστεύουμε οτι και στις 26 Ιουνίου, στην πανελλαδική προσπάθεια που γινετε για τις
κακοποιήσεις, με συγκεντρώσεις εξω από τα δημαρχεία, να κάνουμε αισθητή την παρουσία μας.
