There are 4 email addresses listed so we can still tell them how we feel about their barbaric ways of ridding themselves of unwanted strays. Here's the article

THIS IS A CRITICAL URGENT ALERT

Two activists (Marijo Gillis and Diane Alden) are now in Athens meeting with
members of the Greek government in an attempt to get Greece to change its
laws and policies toward animals.

If you didn't already know, Greece has been systematically exterminating
its homeless animal population to "clean up" the streets prior to the 2004
Olympics. They have been killing animals by poisonings, crushed glass left
out in food, hangings, burnings, and more. The situation these animals face
is so horrendous it cannot be put into words. If you saw the pictures, you
would be sobbing, as I have been.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE RIGHT NOW.

PLEASE, the timing is critical.

The government, the Olympic Committee, Marijo and Diane will be holding
press conference about this issue on Thursday to announce whatever decisions
are made regarding the future of these animals. PLEASE take a moment to
write a few lines to the authorities telling them:

"Change your laws and stop killing animals. We will boycott Greece and the
Olympics and tell everyone else we know to do the same. Greece is not the
Cradle of Civilization, it is the Cradle of Devastation"

or something similar.

Send your thoughts to:
kdionyssis at hotmail.com
spsafiol at athens2004.com
embassy at greekembassy.ca
simera at megatv.com

PLEASE SEND YOUR MESSAGE OVER AND OVER THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND ASK
EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO DO THE SAME.

Greece must be stopped from this horrendous massacre and only massive public
outrage will stop them.

YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN. Let's give Marijo, Diane and all the innocent
animals our best shot. Thank you.
