UNGERECHTE - Beschlagnahmung von Tieren der Tierhilfe Korfu am 06.04.06 In Venedig 

ENPA,Italien 

Wie ist es möglich, dass die Organisation, die Zustände überall in den so genanten Tierheimen, für mich das grausamste, was ich je zu sehen bekommen habe, akzeptiert und tatenlos zu sieht?

Wie ist es möglich, das dort die Tiere verhungern, mit gebrochenen Knochen völlig mit Räude übersäht, sich selbst überlassen werden?

Die privaten Besitzer, ihr Tiere den ganzen Tag im Freien an Ketten angebunden halten?

Wo seid Ihr denn???????  Ihr so genannten ENPA Tierschützer?? Habt Ihr Euch mal die Mühe gemacht in Eure grauenhaften Auffangstellen zu schauen, was da abläuft??

Ich weiß es!!!!!!!!  Was tut ihr denn überhaupt für die Tiere?? Fahrt nach Deutschland und überzeugt Euch, was wir mit den Tieren machen.

Und beschuldigt nicht wirkliche Tierschützer die alles opfern, Zeit, Geld, Wohnung, Transportmittel und  Liebe um diesen armen Kreaturen ein artgerechtes und liebevolles Leben zu ermöglichen.

Es schreit zum Himmel, diese Ungerechtigkeit, Schlagzeilen zu machen, das ist Eure Masche, aber wahrer Tierschutz sieht anders aus. 

Ich habe eigentlich mehr Verantwortung von einer Organisation erwartet, die zu Europa gehören möchte.

Denn dazu gehört auch der Tierschutz, aber auf einer ganz anderen Ebene. Und diese Ebene habt Ihr bis heute nicht erreicht.

Es ist das letzte, Menschen zu diskriminieren, die sich um das Elend der Tiere, welches in Eurem Land statt findet  kümmern, so ungerecht zu behandeln.

Wir werden es weltweit bekannt geben, diese Beschlagnahmung der Tiere von den Tierschütern

Tierhilfe Korfu

Anfang diesen Jahres kam mit Hilfe der Tierhilfe Korfu unsere kleine Maja zu uns.Ein Welpe, der Dank dieser Organisation und des Einsatzes der für sie sowohl hier, als auch auf Korfu tätigen Menschen, nie in einem Tierheim leben musste.Sie durfte ihre ersten Lebenswochen in Griechenland im Hause von Menschen verbringen, die sich um sie, ihre Mutter und Geschwister kümmerten. Dann kam sie auf direktem Wege zu uns, ihrer neuen Familie. So wäre es wohl auch den gesuchten Hunden ergangen. Von Menschen, zu Menschen. Doch "Dank der ital. Tierschützer", müssen diese Tiere nun doch kennenlernen,was es heißt, im Tierheim zu leben. Erstmals die Welt durch Gitter sehen, wo doch hier ihre Menschen so sehr auf sie warten. Ich hoffe im Sinne der Tiere, dass es noch einmal Menschen gibt, die sich für sie entscheiden. Nämlich bei den ital. Behörden und Gerichten, damit die Hunde ihre Reise nach Hause so bald wie möglich fortsetzen können.

PRESS RELEASE

Signed by 53 Greek Animal Welfare Groups

Over the last three years the majority of animal welfare associations in Greece have been subjected to an organised attack from the organisation known as "The Confederation of Greek Animal Welfare Associations". According to information submitted in a court brief by their representative, Mrs Ioanna Garagouni, the Confederation represents a mere 12 of the 140 associations throughout the country. To the authorities, however, Mrs Garagouni maintains that she is the only formal representative of the animal welfare movement in Greece and she systematically ignores the majority of animal welfare groups who have opposing views to her own.

Mrs Garagouni and her associations regard animal protection as the exclusive right of local government bodies, maintaining that animal lovers have no right to act in this sphere and she denounces as illegal, all animal welfare associations who collect stray animals and offer them up to families for adoption.

As a result of its actions and the vague and arbitrary allegations made by the above group, the Greek State has been driven to measures that are marginal in terms of legality and that sometimes exceed the boundaries of the law, explicitly violating the individual freedoms and rights of animal loving fellow citizens who are arrested, libelled and slandered, subjected to disdain and forced to become involved in lengthy judicial battles.

The decisions of the Greek Justice System, which eventually vindicate the animal welfare volunteers involved in such battles, do not see the light of publicity, something that is exploited to the limit by the opposition.

We mention two typical cases which continue to feature in the media as “illegal export of animals”:

• The first relates to the transport of 58 animals by the Association, Noah’s Ark, in February 2005. On the order of the Public Prosecutor, Court of Piraeus (EG22-05/118/206/24-3-05), three volunteers were acquitted of all charges against them and the confiscated animals were ordered to be returned to the group on the grounds that the animals were intended for adoption in Europe and conditions of transport conformed with the Law.

• A second example is the confiscation in July 2005 of 7 animals that were being transported from Chios to Denmark. The decision of the Piraeus Court (AM 5711/2005) irrevocably acquitted the two defendants of the charge of trading in animals without the required authority, and the confiscated animals were ordered to be returned to their Danish owner. It is worth noting that Mrs Ioanna Garagouni, who was named as custodian of the animals, refused to return them with the result that an indictment has been issued against her for penal offences. The whereabouts of the 7 animals is currently unknown.

At the same time as animal welfare associations are accused of illegal collection and custody of animals, and of trading in animals, the responsible authorities, influenced by claims made by the Confederation, proceed to carry out directives that are either not forecast, or are even prohibited by the law. The Greek Veterinary Association denies citizens the right to register more than two animals in their name. Airline companies deny passengers the right to travel with more than two animals and veterinarians are subject to directives that compel them to provide the personal details of customers who ask for pet passports, i.e. are called on to infringe their professional code of confidentiality.

We denounce the actions of the Confederation and request that the Ministry of Rural Development check its legality and the authenticity of its authority to represent animal welfare, in order to establish that the Confederation does not express the views of the majority of animal welfare workers in Greece.

Dear Sirs/Madams, 

A person by the name Ioanna Garagouni recently sent you an email, signing as President of CONFEDERATION OF GREEK ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETIES (2550/82). I would like to inform you that this person DOES NOT represent the greek animal welfare societies, even thought the title that she uses may lead to this wrong conclusion.  

I am attaching a recent official announcement of 53 greek  societies (I am afraid it is in Greek) explaining that CONFEDERATION OF GREEK ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETIES is ONE SINGLE society and NOT a confederation! The 53 greek animal welfare groups denounce her opinions and action in animal welfare. According to their statement, Ms Garagouni has NO AUTHORITY or right whatsoever to act on behalf of greek animal welfare societies. She is undergoing many lawsuits and is awaiting trial, BEING ACCUSED for illegally confiscating and illegally hiding from their owners 7 dogs that were travelling to Danmark. This xenophobic lady completely IGNORED the Greek Justice Court order (decision ÁÌ 15711/2005) to immediately return the dogs to their legitimate owners.

We are having a lot of trouble with this lady in Greece, at the moment. And it is ONLY THE NAME of her organization that helps her MISLEAD authorities in Greece (and now she is trying to do the same in Italy) to believe that she has the right to do so.  

I am available for any future help. Please consider the fact that most greek animal welfare societies are sending dogs to Germany and other E.E. countries for adoption , since the owners there are more responsible than here in Greece. The issue that has to be addressed is WHERE the dogs were going, and I have been informed that they had already been adopted by families in Germany. This is what the law should examine. Please do not let the dogs wait anymore in asylums. These dogs deserve a better chance than dying by poison, car accidents or diseases in the Greek streets. And this is their future if they come back to our country.

 I am confident that the Italian justice will ensure THE BEST FUTURE for these puppies. 

Sincerely, 

Klea M., Editor in Chief, GAV dog  magazine  

PS.  I am attaching this lady’s email so that you know what I am referring to.

Guten Morgen , Frau Engelhardt,
Die Katastrophe mit Ihren Hunden läßt mir keine Ruhe! Ich habe heute 
eine mail an einen Freund im Vatikan geschrieben ,mit der Bitte eine 
Kontaktperson zu nennen ,die evt. vermitteln kann.
Sicher haben Sie schon Kontakt zu Kollegen ,die Hunde aus Italien 
vermitteln und sich mit den itl. Verhältnissen auskennen.
Auf der Seite www..... habe ich einen Arzt  gefunden, der vor Ort mit

den deutschen Tierhelfern in I kooperiert u.sich sicher mit den ital. 

Rechten auskennt:
Dott. S. C.    

Ich hoffe, Sie haben schnellstens Erfolg und die armen Tiere  kommen 
schnell frei !

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Areti Papastavrou and I am representing an Animal Welfare Society in Greece, Athens, with the name Animal Welfare Society “ARGOS”.

The problem with stray dogs in Greece, and especially on the islands, is very severe and you probably know it. There are too many abandoned dogs and a serious lack of funding.

It may be a reason for the inappropriate conditions that you discovered during the transportation of dogs to Germany, from the island of Corfu, which you recently stopped.

 As you say, the conditions during transportation were not correct and we do not question your good intentions. What we ask, here in Greece, is to let the dogs continue their trip to Germany, making sure that the conditions are correct, this time, because in Germany they have already found caring homes that will adopt them, as you, probably, already know. 

Caring about the dogs’ safety and well-being is one thing, and you will find everyone on your side. But talking about experiments in Germany is an unforgivable action, and I sincerely hope that it was the Italian Media that started this rumor, and NOT your organization.

For every dog from Greece, which is adopted in Germany, there is signed a contract and a strict control is done by the people of the organizations. We have all the addresses and we get always pictures. Of course we can visit the dogs and their new families any time we wand.

The stupid rumor that is spread around the world that Germany needs dogs for laboratories is a complete lie, that came up by reporters in order to shock the public opinion and also to sell their stories. And they made a good job, but please don't let that continue, as our dogs really need this help otherwise all of them will die helpless on the streets.

If it was true, don’t you think, that the public prosecutor in Germany would have stopped such transports long time ago? 

Please, note that Tierhilfe Korfu is a well respected German Welfare Organization that does an excellent job on rehoming animals that have suffered so much in the Greek streets. 

You have the same problem in Italy also. The Italian stray dogs as well the abandoned dogs cannot find a home in Italy. There are many organizations even in Italy, which they work with German animal welfare organizations. Beside the local help (spaying, vaccinate etc.) they offer. They also try to find homes for many unwanted Italian dogs in Germany. 

Please, let the dogs from Corfu continue their trip to Germany. 

As for the Italian families that wish to adopt dogs from Greece, we are sure there are many unwanted stray dogs in Italian shelters they are waiting for a nice home.

Also, any help from your organization to Greek Animal Welfare organizations will be greatly appreciated. I am in contact with 56 of them, and they are all in great need for volunteer help! Please consider helping us help. 

Please, let us know if there is anything we can do to help solving the problem.

Sincerely,

Animal Welfare Society “ARGOS”, Athens

Tierschutzverein ”ARGOS”, Athen

To Whom It May Concern 

I am a resident of North America and have recently adopted a dog that was from Greece. The animal I adopted was in good hands while with the Greek rescue group Tierhilfe Korfu.

It is an embarrassment for your country to behave in such a manner. My husband is of Italian descent and finds your current behaviour outrageous and shameful.

Let these dogs who have already endured enough continue on their journey. Do you really think that if they wanted to use the dogs for experiment, Germany would have to go to Greece to get them. Please look after your own animals from which I hear are plenty on the street that need care. ENPA is making fools of your country.  

Betty K., Toronto, Canada

Last Friday April 7^th a transport with dogs on their way from Corfu to their new adoptive families in Germany and Holland was stopped by the Italian police near Padua.

The police stated that the ventilation of the van was insufficient.

An Italian vet who was asked by the police to examine the dogs found all the dogs to be in good health, and all the paperwork was also in good order.

 The Italian animal welfare organisation ENPA said the transport couldn’t continue and placed the dogs in three shelters around Padua.

Now some Italian media are making accusations that these dogs are meant for vivi-section in Germany and that the ENPA saved these dogs from it. This is completely untrue.

All these dogs were already rehomed, new owners are waiting for them in both Germany and Holland.

In Holland Stichting AAI (www.stichtingaai.nl) has been rehoming dogs from shelters in Greece, Turkey and Spain for 12 years already. We can show you the home addresses of each and every single dog that ever came to Holland. They all live in families in normal homes and finally have a wonderful life. Stichting AAI is an organisation that depends on donations from people and spends all the money it gets on the welfare of dogs. All the people that work for the organisation do so on voluntary base.

In Germany the organisation Tierhilfe Korfu (http://www.tierhilfe-korfu.de/) works in the exact same way.

Yesterday (April 11^th) a judge in Italy said the dogs have to stay in Italy. The reason is not clear. One of the lawyers hopefully finds out reading the court papers in a few days.

We ask you all to please investigate this case. The allegations that the dogs are used for vivi-section is terrible one!! Their new owners are still waiting for them and these dogs have the right to a normal life in family!!

This email goes to various Italian media, the Italian ambassies in Germany and Holland, the Dutch and Germany ambassy in Italy and various animal welfare organisations.

Dear ENPA members,

To our great concern, we hear that your organization has been involved in preventing a transport of 39 Greek dogs en route to new homes in Germany. We understand that the animals were stopped near Padua and have been impounded in shelters in Rubano, Frapiero , Presina

The 31 members of our coalition know Mrs Pandis and are very familiar with the excellent work she does in saving stray animals in Corfu. We also know the German organization, Tierhilfe-Korfu, who assist Mrs Pandis by finding and checking homes for these dogs, who would otherwise be left to die on the streets. We assure you that neither Mrs Pandis nor Tierhilfe-Korfu are involved in selling animals to experimental laboratories.

As colleagues and neighbors, you will no doubt be familiar with the animal welfare situation in Greece. Thousands of animals live in appalling conditions on the streets and equal numbers of owned animals live in inhumane conditions. Rehoming the enormous number of strays here in Greece is impossible and it is only logical to accept the help of other EU countries who have no stray problem and who can provide homes for animals.

When well respected animal welfare workers such as Mrs Pandis, who devotes considerable energy and time to save animals, are falsely portrayed as criminals and when, in addition, time is not taken to check facts, resulting in incorrect information being supplied to the media, it damages all our reputations. More importantly, it prevents other animals from being rehomed abroad – their only opportunity of a secure future. This current situation has caused undue distress to both the animals and those responsible for them.

We ask you to offer every assistance to Mrs Pandis, Tierhilfe Korfu , and the persons transporting the animals on their behalf, so that they may continue their journey without unnecessary delay.

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

We are writing to you after receiving disturbing information from our Dutch colleagues regarding the transport of dogs from Greece to the Netherlands and Germany for rehoming.

We are a well-known animal shelter in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, which has existed for more than 100 years. Every year we take in and rehome approximately 800 dogs and 1400 cats. We are a “no kill” facility where animals are euthanized only for untreatable diseases and conditions or for incorrigible behavioral problems.

If necessary, for example if an animal stays too long in one shelter, animals are transferred to other animal shelters in the Netherlands where they meet a different public. We frequently work with other organizations specialized in animal care and protection, including the AAI Foundation in Amsterdam and her sister organisation in Germany which transports dogs from Greece to the Netherlands. Our animal shelter is under the supervision of the Minister of Agriculture and the Dutch Society for the Protection of Animals (Nederlandse Dierenbescherming).

Under an agreement with the City of Amsterdam we provide shelter for stray animals and receive financial compensation for those who are not reclaimed by their owners.

We are also an officially registered shelter for animals that are sequestrated by the Dutch police en Justice department.

We are particularly distressed to learn of the suggestion that animals transported to the Netherlands and Germany for vivisection, laboratory experiements, and other such cruel destinations. This is completely untrue.

Animals here are rehomed with extreme care. This is also true of the AAI Foundation and her sister organisation in Germany mentioned above. In our opinion, this foundation is a very trustworthy organization and selects new owners for the animals very carefully. Wij can absolutely vouch for them.

In view of this, we do not understand why this transport can not continue to its destination. If there are mechanical problems, they can be solved. It is of most urgency that the young animals are rehomed in private families.

If however you continue to have doubts about the above mentioned foundations, we are prepared to shelter the animals ourselves in Amsterdam and rehome them as soon as possible. We will have no problem at all to do that as we are so strict in our policies of neutering that young animals are very seldom available and so are easily rehomed.

We are convinced that rehoming in Holland is far easier than in Greece or Italy.

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

my name is Wolfgang G., I'm german and l live with my family since 4 years here in Korfu/Greece! We love animals at all, and so, we are from the beginning of our stay here helping the dogs and cats here on the island!! We are spending a lot of money for feeding, sterilationes and other neccessery things.
In the last years, there was growing up a small privat organisation   -      www.tierhilfe-korfu.de       -   
This organisation is looking for families, which want to take a dogs of the "South" and give them a better live, then they have in Korfu!!

Normal we make the transport of the dogs with the airlines, but in the wintertime, there is a big problem with the flight connections to Germany.
Thats why we decided, to make transports with a van, to bring the dogs to their new families!!

And here is the big problem that we have today:

My wife and a english driver started yesterday morning with a van and 39 dogs for a trip to Germany!! This transport was stopped in Italy, in the near of PADOVA, from the police and a group of the ENPA!!  It was not allowed to continue the trip, the dogs are all now in 3 several animal-shelters and it is not possible to take them and bring them to their new owner!!!

This act is unbeleavable, the people from ENPA are working in this situation, like my wife is a criminal!!  Now the dogs are in an italian shelter, is this a perfect solution??? Only a few hours away, there is waiting a new and better life for this poor animals!! Sorry, I don't can express my self really good in the english language, but I'm very angry about this things whitch happend today in Italy!!

My wife and I where only thinking about the dogs. There are a lot of puppies on this transport. We have organized all perfect in Germany, and now this bad situation.

Please help this dogs, please help us.

She don't will go back to greece, before she have the information, what will happend with the dogs!!
I think the dog-shelters in italy a full enove with dogs, so please contact your partners in Padova and let the dogs free to take them to Germany!!

With kind regards

Wolfgang G.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

mit Entsetzen habe ich auf der Homepage Seite der

Tierhilfe-Korfu gelesen, dass gerettete Hunde aus Korfu von Ihnen

beschlagnahmt wurden.

Da ich als Tierschutzhelfer (Kein Mitglied dieses Vereins) schon öfters Vorkontrollen

für diesen Verein gemacht habe, kann ich Ihnen 100prozentig versichern,

dass nach für die Tiere passende Familien gesucht wird!

Vorwürfe anderer Art sind vollkommen aus der Luft gegriffen und unwahr!!

Ich bitte sie nochmals die Tiere sofort in die Hände der o.g. Hilfsorganisation

zu übergeben.

Helfen Sie den Hunden in Italien, die auch Ihre Unterstützung benötigen!!

Es werden so Gelder verschwendet die für den Tierschutz überlebenswichtig sind!

Mit freundlichen

Grüßen

Eva V.

Sehr geehrter Herr Purini, 

mit Entsetzen, habe ich über das Internet die Nachrichten erhalten, dass diese so genannte  Tierschutzorganisation ENPA am 06.04.06 in Venedig, eine Beschlagnahmung von den Tieren, der Tierhilfe Korfu veranlasst hat.

Welch grenzenlose Verleumdung, sich diese Organisation ENPA dort schuldig macht!

Wie können Sie ( die ENPA ) Menschen so niederträchtig verurteilen, wenn sie über die Beweggründe, ihrer Handlungen überhaupt gar nichts wissen.

Jedes Tier, ob alt, krank, jung oder schön, bekommt hier ein artgerechtes und liebevolles Zuhause. Welches vorher mit vielen Mühen und Wegen verbunden, vorkontrolliert wird. 

Leider habe ich in Italien, und zwar in ganz Italien viele, sehr traurige Auffangstellen sehen müssen, dessen Zustände jedem deutschen Tierschützer nicht mehr in den Schlaf kommen lässt.

Wo ist denn diese ENPA, wenn es um die Belange Ihrer Tiere in Italien geht. Wo Tiere verhungern, in glühender Hitze angekettet, ohne Wasser und Nahrung, einsam ohne Menschen.???????

Zusammen gebundene Tiere in ihrem Exkrementen, dahin siechend. Wo ist denn dann die ENPA, sehen sie das eigene Elend nicht, was tagtäglich vor ihrer eigenen Haustür statt findet??????

Bevor Sie ( die  ENPA ) solche Menschen diskriminieren, sollten Sie sich vorher davon überzeugen, auf welcher Ebene hier Tierschutz betrieben wird.

Sie können das bestimmt bestätigen, weil sie es ja miterleben, wie viel Wert wir unseren Tieren hier geben.

Daher bitten wir Sie sich umgehend dafür ein zusetzen, dass die 39 Korfu Hunde sofort zum Weitertransport frei gegeben werden. 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen Anna G.

wir sind entsetzt und können garnicht beschreiben was wir für eine wut im Bauch haben. WARUM nehmen sie den Hunden die Chance auf ein schönes zuhause?????? Ein zuhause wo sie schon sehnlichst erwartet werden!!!

Können sie den Hunden ein solches zuhause geben????

Warum leben bei ihnen soviele Hunde auf den Straßen müssen Hungern werden schrecklichen qualen ausgesetzt oder gar getötet????

Ist es den nötig Menschen soviele steine in den weg zulegen die den Hunden nur gutes wollen? Warum gibt es kein miteinander im sinne der Tiere??? Warum erkundigen sie sich nicht bei Familien die einen Hund aus ihrem Land haben und überzeugen sich selber davon das es ihnen hier viel besser ergeht als in ihrem Tierheim oder auf ihren Straßen. Wir hoffen das die Hunde so schnell wie möglich den weg in ihr neues zuhause fortsetzen können und appelieren an Ihr mitgefühl.

Liebe Frau Engelhardt,

liebe Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter der Tierhilfe Korfu,

ich bin einfach nur entsetzt von der Beschlagnahmung der 39 Hunde aus Korfu. Jeden Tag gehe ich auf Ihre Homepage-Seite und denke: „Das wird sich doch geklärt haben!“ Leider muss ich dann feststellen, dass die Tiere immer noch festgehalten werden, wo doch in Deutschland schon liebe Menschen und ein gutes Zuhause auf sie warten.

Unser Hund, den wir im Februar durch die Tierhilfe Korfu bekommen haben, macht uns sehr froh und bereichert unsere Familie. Darum sind wir auch total wütend, dass Ihre Arbeit so blockiert wird und die Tiere so unnötig leiden müssen.

Wir bewundern Ihre hervorragende Arbeit und Ihr Engagement und wünschen Ihnen viel Kraft, diesen schwierigen Kampf um das Wohl der 39 Hunde und auch der vielen anderen Hunde aus Korfu durchzustehen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Egride signori,

(scusi, mi italiano non est molto bene)

mit großem Bedauern und Entsetzen habe ich gehört, dass Sie die 39 Hunde in Ihre Tierheime gesteckt haben. Das verstehe ich nicht!

Es ist doch bekannt, dass es meistens deutsche Tierschützer sind, die sich aufopfernd um die armen ausgesetzten, halb verhungerten Tiere in sämtlichen Ländern weltweit kümmern. Wieso hindern Sie diese Menschen an ihrer Arbeit, die ihr Herz, ihr Geld und ihre Freizeit opfern!

Kümmern Sie sich bitte um Ihre Straßenhunde, die mit offenen Fleischwunden in der größten Hitze ohne Futter, ohne Wasser leben müssen! Ganz zu schweigen von Ihren Tierheimen und Tötungsstationen.

Und bringen Sie Ihren Landsleuten bei, dass Tiere Wesen sind mit Seele, Gefühlen und Schmerzen!

Sicher gibt es leider auch in Deutschland Tierquäler (wie es in jedem Land solche und solche Menschen gibt). Aber die machen es hinter verschlossenen Türen (und werden dafür bestraft, wenn man sie hoffentlich erwischt) und nehmen ganz bestimmt nicht eine teure, anstrengende Fahrt nach Korfu auf sich!

Ich selbst kenne Hunde, die von Korfu nach Deutschland und Holland vermittelt wurden und die jetzt ein sehr schönes Leben haben! Selbst dass ein Hund, der lebenslang Medikamente braucht, nehmen diese Menschen in Kauf.

Ich habe Italien und ihre Menschen immer sehr geliebt und schon oft dort Urlaub gemacht. Aber nach dieser Aktion, tut mir leid, gebe ich meine EURO sinnvoller aus.

Hello Uta,

I heard through a friend from Denmark about the terrible state those 39 dogs are in by Italy. Terrible to stop those poor animals in there way to good homes!

I took 2 cats from the Greek isle of Thassos in 2004 from the animal care organisation over there.

It is very sad that animals who are finally able to live a happy life are stopped to do so!

Much help is needed in Greece for the animals, but also in a lot of other countries!

Keep up the good work! 

Met vriendelijke groet,

Hallo Frau Engelhardt,

ich verfolge seit Anfang April Ihre Berichte über die ungerechtfertigte Beschlagnahmung Ihrer
Hunde in Italien. Ich war und bin erschüttert!
Was ich aber jetzt lesen kann, schlägt dem Faß den Boden aus. In Italien haben die Tiere ja
nicht mehr Chancen auf eine gute Vermittlung als auf Korfu und statt sie ziehen zu lassen,
müssen sie jetzt in irgendwelchen Heimen herumvegetieren. Ich darf mir nicht vorstellen, wie
es diesen armen Tieren dort gehen mag. Ich selbst habe eine Hündin aus Spanien und wir
"kämpfen" heute noch mit einigen Ängsten. Ich hoffe nur, dass, falls sie überhaupt die Hunde
frei bekommen, was ich Ihnen von Herzen wünsche, diese armen Tiere nicht großen Schäden
davon tragen werden. Wo ist die ach so gerühmt EU, so etwas darf nicht passieren.
Auch wenn ich nicht viel tun kann, außer Geld zu spenden, haben Sie meine volle moralische
Unterstützung und ich wünsche Ihnen viel Kraft bei Ihrer weiteren Arbeiten.

Liebe Grüsse aus Oberhausen
