My uncle is involved in an animal shelter back in Cyprus which caters for animals ranging from dogs to donkeys! I asked him last time I was there if he would take me to do some shots of them but he couldn't make it but I'm hoping when we move back I'll be able to help them out in some way.
I'm really sad to say this but far too many people on the island mistreat their animals
When I was there last time they had a story on the news where someone had gone into a shepherd's goat farm and put fuel on the goats and set them alight. How awful is that? When I lived out there we had to have antidote in the house in case our dog ate anything whilst we were outside that had been purposely poisoned. His mother was poisoned - someone threw a chunk of meat into the yard laced with poison, she ate it and died - it ate away at her insides like acid. My uncle's dog was poisoned twice. The first time they got her to the vet on time but the second time she didn't survive
My uncle also has a horse that he saved from someone who was mistreating it. I've seen dogs chained up on the shortest, heaviest chains and the only time they're let out is at hunting season. It really is horrendous what people are capable of.
