Residents and tourists of the village of Megala Chorafia in the Peripheral Unit of Chania were confronted with an abominable spectacle that does not fit the human mind, when passing through the central square they saw the lifeless body of a dog hanging from a hook.
According to the president of the Panhellenic Animal Welfare and Environmental Federation, based in Galata, Chania, Natasa Bombolakis, the corpse of the unfortunate animal was photographed by frightened tourists, “but also by a municipal cleaning official who knocked it down! “Another citizen took it out of there.”
In fact, speaking to GRTimes, states that the hanging of animals and especially dogs, in Crete is a common phenomenon that had stopped for some time, but now seems to be returning. “About a year ago, two other dogs were hanged in the area. In fact, the first one was completely inhuman, as before he hung it, he scratched it and took out his nails. In fact, the perpetrators were arrested, but the specific issues, despite the tightening of the law, have stuck somewhere in the prosecutor’s office “, he emphasizes characteristically.
Impunity encourages perpetrators
Asked what might be driving the perpetrators into such heinous acts, Ms. Bombolaki states that “when the animals are dominant as in the latter case in the Great Fields, often this kind of killing of animals has to do either with real estate or with livestock disputes. “It’s a message that is being sent.”
He adds, however, that “there are also cases involving stray animals, where there is simply perversion. Every murder hides a perversion inside it, especially when it has to do with animals that are not to blame for anything. But what everyone needs to understand is that the motive for the perpetrators of such acts is impunity. What should I do if the law stipulates that such cases have been reduced to a crime, when the perpetrator remains unpunished and is awaiting trial. Such heinous acts require immediate and exemplary punishment. If we really want to address this issue and see the essence of the problem, we have to stop there. On the issue of impunity “notes the president of the Panhellenic Animal Welfare Federation.
The issue has been taken over by the Security Directorate of Chania
In the meantime, the authorities of Chania have launched an investigation to locate and arrest the perpetrator. “As I told you, this particular dog was dominant and its owner was found and has given a statement. “There are speculations as to who may have done it, but this remains to be clarified by the Chania Security Directorate, which has taken over the case,” she told GRTimes. Bombolaki.
