Το έχουμε ψιλο-σχολιάσει. Έστειλε η ελληνική πρεσβεία της Ουάσινγκτον το παρακάτω δελτίο Τύπου και νομίζω ότι προσφέρεται για πολιτισμένη συζήτηση με αρκετές πτυχές. Π.χ. 1. τα αδέσποτα αυτά καθαυτά σε συνάρτηση με τους Ολυμπιακούς και 2. οι μέθοδοι που επιστρατεύονται για να καθησυχαστεί η διεθνής Κ.Γ. για τα αίσχη που ακούει. Το δ.Τ. είναι αυτό κι εγώ υπογραμμίζω (δήθεν προσεκτικά επιλεγμένες) λέξεις/φράσεις:
It is with great surprise that we hear reports that Greece intends to kill 15,000 stray animals in time for the Olympics. We assure you that there isn’t a shred of truth in these reports.
On the contrary, with the cooperation of local authorities and animal protection societies, all stray animals have been collected, sterilized, vaccinated, tagged and the healthy ones have either been returned to their natural environment or have been adopted. [έλεος, τι λέει; και πώς ερμηνεύεται πρακτικά το "returned to their national environment; ποιον δουλεύουν;]
Under the threat of harsh penalties for those who mistreat or abandon animals, Law No. 3710, passed by the Greek Parliament last year, requires pet owners to register and identify their animals. It provides the means for local authorities to neuter, vaccinate, identify and re-release strays, and the funds for extensive public campaigns to educate people on responsible pet ownership and to promote love of animals. [ωραίο αυτό...] Under this law, all animal abuse complaints are directly and immediately dispatched to the responsible Public Prosecutor.
In addition, the amount of 4 million Euros has been provided by a recent Ministerial Decision for the establishment and modernization of animal shelters, particularly for local government entities (municipalities, rural communities, prefectures etc.) and for outlining operating regulations for such shelters. The decision also includes the first-ever regulations for pet shops, a continuously growing sector in the country.
With one of the most progressive legal framework and action plan in the European Union, the Greek Government has called upon all Greek people to take on the responsibilities of the competent law so that pets and stray animals can be dealt with in the most humane and effective manner.
Εντάξει, εντελώς "νίπτουμε τας χείρας, όλα γίνονται όπως θα έπρεπε, με σεβασμό προς τα ζώα" φάση. Ως προς τα κονδύλια κ.λπ. ας μας πει κάποιος που ξέρει, αλλά ό,τι και να ισχύει... εγώ δεν έχω δει τίποτα. Αδέσποτο έχω να δω καιρό στο δρόμο (μπορεί να είναι τυχαίο βέβαια), αλλά τι λέει αυτή εδώ για εκστρατείες...
