An illegal animal cemetery was discovered in the “heart” of the Gendarmerie Grove in Athens, following citizens’ complaints in the Municipality of Athens.
As the Municipality of Athens announced, this site is near the Municipal Veterinary Clinic, and was illegally used by 2021 for the burial of pets. It is noteworthy that new complaints have come with citizens from yesterday until today to indicate other points within the Gendarmerie Grove where dozens of animals are buried.
“We are in the Storage Grove. Yesterday, we received a complaint – which remains anonymous at present – that dozens of animals have been buried in the grove. Under uncertain conditions were found here, with the participation of municipal officials. As soon as we received this complaint, and in consultation with the Mayor of Athens Haris Doukas, we came to the Grove with a special workshop and conducted an autopsy, “Olga Dourou, Vice Mayor of Interrogation, Solidarity, Breakfast and Bourgeois.
As he explains, “the autopsy showed that there was really a skeleton initially and then we found others. We immediately called the police, which came here.
