They kill little dogs in Paphos as if they have no soul - The mass poisoning





Unfortunately, some of us do not have the right to be called people. How can they put up and want to kill dogs or other animals that do not blame them? It is, if anything, an act unharmed and inhuman.

Unfortunatelly the mass poisoning of dogs in Paphos continues and in every hunting expedition the hunters count big losses of their beloved friends.


In Androlykos, as you will see in the photo posted in Social Media Network, at the same place they left their last breath on the three dogs while many hunters try to save their animals with injections that they have with them for such occasions sometimes with success and unfortunately some not.

And it is not only in this area but everywhere in Paphos. Many hunters have lost their loyal friends in front of their eyes without being able to save them.

We condemn this crime because crime is about ... Will the guilty be found? It's definitely not people …

Totally agree with MM and why after being banned is "Lanate" still being used if indeed it was? this is a disgrace for Cyprus, I hope those who come here to holiday get to see this.

Yes hit Cyprus where it hurts, in the pocket.

Will anyone who feels strongly about this add to their FB page please. I can't post this picture, but I can and will share.

I've amended MM's post to include a link to the original article. If you click on that link you will be able to share it that way. It will be in Greek but it translates easily.

Here is the link again:

It’s shocking and terrible. I feel really sorry about the way some hunting dogs are treated. Some no doubt are beloved by their owners, but many are not. You see them after the 1st hunt in November, pathetic, emaciated, terrified. Some look as if they have seldom been fed, certainly many have not been trained properly if at all. Some have run off and just been abandoned, you see them on the roads. I feel that owners of these dogs should be compelled to micro chip and license all their dogs, before they have their own hunting license issued. That way owners might be more likely to look after their dogs and it would not be so easy to abandon then since the chip could be read.
I am dead against poison being used. But I do think that the government should support financially to encourage the neutering of both dogs and cats to stop them breeding. Strays do need to be rounded up though there would be less of them if these animals were all neutered, or most of them. Whatever people think something should be done about animal welfare. In the final analysis selective humane euthanasia of strays and old, sick animals is also another option,

It’s totally heartbreaking to view such a distressing scene, not all hunters treat their dogs badly those who take this activity seriously have good dogs they’ve paid lots of money for and this end they are trained, fed and exercised to perform in the field
Other so called hunters are idiots with guns who think that a starved untrained unexercised caged dog is going to perform .....then they abuse and throw it out . I agree that there should be a law passed that all hunting dogs should be chipped and registered, but like most laws passed it’s the actual policing of this.
It’s barbaric cowardly act against a defenceless animal to lay poison down it’s the most horrific way for an animal to die.

But this is unlikely to be a rogue hunter who didn't like his dog. There are several dogs in the picture so it would appear to be someone who has deliberately laid poison down for hunting dogs/dogs in general. That would probably be a non lover of dogs so chipping and registering the hunting dogs will have no affect on these peoples actions.

If the dogs had to be chipped and registered, hunters might look after their dogs.

I have seen dogs dumped by the side of the road, the drivers looking back laughing as the poor things chased after their vehicles, only to be shot by a neighbour of ours, not cleanly I might add, and extremely distressing to witness.


The life of an animal in Cyprus is seen by some to be totally worthless, a thing to be destroyed or injured at a whim or for amusement. They do not seem to comprehend or care that the animal suffers pain and torment before it's death. It's time it changed, and only the law of the land, and the church can change that.

... you say a neighbour of yours shot a dog, so you know the person involved. you saw drivers, driving off laughing, so you must of seen a registration no...If as you say. you witnessed these crimes, did you report it to the police?,,

[Firefly]

Yes knew the shot came from a nearby house, I suspected one of the men who lived at the property, but as I didn't see him actually fire the gun, I was unable to report him. I had three cats at the time, and I dread to think of their ending if I HAD seen and reported this man. No I did not see the reg.no. of the car over the wall just the driver and passenger's heads, as a matter of interest, what would have been the crime you refer to ?


And yes I did witness these incidents, I would not have said I did, if I did not, I'm not a liar !

I would imagine shooting at a dog would constitute a crime ?

I find it odd, that you feel very strongly about this, and quite rightly so, but would not take a minute and report these incidents to the Police.

[Firefly]

With what evidence ?


Conversation, Me:- a dog has been shot near my home, police:- Do you know who by ? Me:- No.


Me:- A dog has been abandoned outside my home, Police:- Do you know who by ? Me:- No.


Well I'm sure they would be really interested in that, so let's stop the 'stirring up trouble for the sake of it' posts shall we, you think what you like.

Your words ''I have seen dogs dumped by the side of the road, the drivers looking back laughing as the poor things chased after their vehicles, only to be shot by a neighbour of ours, not cleanly I might add, and extremely distressing to witness''

So Behave with your 'stirring up trouble'' I Asked you a reasonable question, ... I find it odd that you can find time to post on a forum, yet not spend a minute to ring the Police and tell them , one of your neighbours has just fired a shotgun, at a dog, Im sure they would of come out to investigate, and yes I will think what I like.

What a pity that you have nothing better to do than pick arguments, what a sad little life you must have. I have nothing else to say to you on this subject, or any other hopefully.
