Protect the abandoned cats and dogs in Greece

At todays hard face of Greece's economic crisis, where the unemployment is at 26%, the 21 % of the population is living below poverty level, and more than 3 million people are living without heating and medical care because of poverty , the most innocent victims of this austerity and economic crisis ,are pets.At Corfu where we live, abandoned dogs and cats searching at the rubbish for something to eat, living at the roads while raining in winter shivering from the cold ,and desperately searching for some water during summer, is a common nearly everyday scene.The greatest majority of them have been abandoned from previous owners and are friendly.They are in great need for food ,medicines and be sterilized. They need a shelter and people to take care of them.
We do hope that through public awareness,
through contacts with local ,national and international press and media,
people who really care and have the willpower to help on a volunteer base,
could take action through taking care of abandoned cat and dogs , collecting some food and medicines and help performing a sterilisation program.
Cats and dogs, can be our best friends .They give us their devotion ,their friendship, their kindness.Lets give them our care .
