Andreas Liodakis Illegal Dog Breeder in Chania Court

Using fake identities both for himself and the dogs Liodakis allegedly stole then sold the dogs for €150, sometimes stealing them back to sell them to other unsuspecting customers!The Animal Welfare Association of Chania had been vainly trying to incriminate him for 7 years, many people were aware of his atrocious activities & the terrible conditions he left the animals in, but where unwilling to intervene, fortunately another complaint submitted in August led to his arrest & the rescue of 20 dogs & 7 puppies, sadly due to the total lack of care given to the dogs by Liodakis one of the dogs died on the way to the veterinarian.

Liodakis is due to appear on 8th October 2014

Research questionnaire on Greeks behaviour towards animals

The Panhellenic Animal Welfare and Environmental Federation is conducting research into the behavior of Greeks towards animals. A questionnaire has been prepared and has been given to tourists in different touristic cities and places all over the country. The answers will be studied statistically and the conclusions and results sent to the Ministry and the authorities of the State, the mass media and the relative authorities in Europe. In this way they hope to show what happens in Greece as concerns the animals and how this behavior affect visitors and foreign friends. They hope that this announcement will improve the living conditions of the animals in Greece.

If it is possible, please answer the questionnaire & forward it to friends of yours (not Greeks), who came to Greece as tourists and return them completed to to Angela Nikolaou at nikolaouangela at gmail dot com by 15th August 2014.
