With a new intervention, the Prosecutor’s Office of the Supreme Court is trying to stop the phenomenon of wild abuse of companion and working animals that occurs throughout Greece, placing our country on black lists among countries in Europe.
After the new incident of brutal abuse and killing of a dog with a metal rod that was revealed in Megara, the deputy prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Anastasia Masoura, responsible for the observance of animal protection legislation, intervened with an order for an investigation which she sent to the director of the First Instance Prosecutor’s Office of Athens Antonis Eleftheriano.
The relevant chief prosecutor is mobilized whenever brutal incidents of animal abuse are revealed, as was the case with Oliver in Arachovaan incident which is still being investigated without success, in terms of identifying the perpetrator as the reports of some veterinarians, that the unfortunate dog was the victim of a pack of dogs, are not confirmed by the initial examination of the dog by the veterinarian of Itea who was the only one who saw him Oliver alive, while they do not convince the prosecutors either, as Mrs. Masura has sent a double order to the competent authorities both for the claim of the existence of a pack of dogs in Arachova, and for the scientific documentation from a veterinarian-politician of the area, that Oliver did not abused by a human but by a pack of dogs.
An intervention had recently been made by Mrs. Masoura with an order to search in depth and to shoot four horses in the area of ​​Grevena, which were then dismembered and about 750 kg of meat was removed.
The prosecutorial interventions of the Supreme Court, in addition to the attribution of criminal responsibilities to animal abusers in application of the current legislation, are also strengthened by the scientific data, which demonstrate that those who abuse and torture animals have risks in their personality and almost always resort to violence and against other vulnerable groups, such as children, women, the elderly.
