“Takis Shelter”, the shelter created by Takis Proestakis in Ierapetra, was visited among others by Kyriakos Mitsotakis during his visit to Crete.

On the occasion of this visit, the ND president recalled in his last video on TikTok how he met the “star” Peanut and highlighted the initiative taken by his government for companion animals.

“Today I visited my friend Takis, it must be the largest and best organized animal shelter in Greece”, Kyriakos Mitsotakis says initially and adds “I also remembered the visit to the animal shelter in Ilioupoli, when I met Pinat. When Pinata chose me. It has become a Star, but through the little star it allows us to highlight aspects of our policy that concern animal welfare.”

“We have also made animal abuse a felony, in addition to mandatory chipping now, mandatory DNA testing of animals so that we can know where a stray animal came from. It’s an innovative policy that no other state has implemented, we’re at the forefront,” he also says in the video, which ends with the message “Pineat approves!”
