The Greek government has had many years to address this problem humanely, but is doing the last ditch attempt to polish one very bloody halo! With the thousands of people from other countries flocking into Greece, why couldn't they initiate an adoption program ahead of time? Like Puerto Rico & Dominican Republic have initiated with North East states that don't have a 'dog problem'? Satos (slang for street dogs) have been rescued off the streets for quite a few years now, and never last more than a day or two in area shelters here. Even badly injured and mange covered ones are rescued and adopted out after they're healthy. Why can't other countries do this as well?
