interesting article in the paper regards locals on rhodes culling the cat population,poisend by the taverna owners et al once the tourista"s have gone home.noticed this on a couple of othe islands ive visited,thera,ithica and the mainland too.wondering if the cat population on crete has reached epidemic proportions yet?if so are they at it too.the only sighn of cat control i ever witnessed was ethelabia the mother of georgos the one time resident of the bar under mirthios youth hostel,throwing a few kittens over the edge of the car park.please note i like animals and am just as worried as you about their treatment in greece.greeks on the whole do not form the sentimental bond to animals that we do,witness the large amount of dogs left in barrels etc ,with meagre and sporadic rations and rough tratment at the hands of their owners.
please report back on current cat situation.
