Governments

A government is the system by which a state or community is governed. In British English (and that of the Commonwealth of Nations), a government more narrowly refers to the particular executive in control of a state at a given time—known in American English as an administration. In American English, government refers to the larger system by which any state is organized. Furthermore, government is occasionally used in English as a synonym for governance.
In the case of its broad definition, government normally consists of legislators, administrators, and arbitrators. Government is the means by which state policy is enforced, as well as the mechanism for determining the policy of the state. A form of government, or form of state governance, refers to the set of political systems and institutions that make up the organisation of a specific government.

States are served by a continuous succession of different governments. Each successive government is composed of a body of individuals who control and exercise control over political decision-making. Their function is to make and enforce laws and arbitrate conflicts. In some societies, this group is often a self-perpetuating or hereditary class. In other societies, such as democracies, the political roles remain, but there is frequent turnover of the people actually filling the positions.
Government of any kind currently affects every human activity in many important ways. For this reason, political scientists generally argue that government should not be studied by itself; but should be studied along with anthropology, economics, history, philosophy, science, and sociology.
On the surface, identifying a form of government appears to be easy, as all governments have an official form - complication is that a large number of political systems originate as socio-economic movements and are then carried into governments by specific parties naming themselves after those movements; all with competing political-ideologies. Experience with those movements in power, and the strong ties they may have to particular forms of government, can cause them to be considered as forms of government in themselves.

The dialectical forms of government

The Classical Greek philosopher Plato discusses five types of regimes. They are - Aristocracy, Timocracy, Oligarchy, Democracy and Tyranny - Plato also assigns a man to each of these regimes to illustrate what they stand for.
The tyrannical man would represent Tyranny for example. These five regimes progressively degenerate starting with Aristocracy at the top and Tyranny at the bottom.
In Republic, while Plato spends much time having Socrates narrate a conversation about the city he founds with Glaucon and Adeimantus "in speech", the discussion eventually turns to considering four regimes that exist in reality and tend to degrade successively into each other: timocracy, oligarchy (also called plutocracy), democracy and tyranny (also called despotism) - Source: Government

European governments turn a blind eye to the ongoing animal cruelty across Europe - the only thing that circulates in their heads is money - many times together with nepotism and corruption.
Stray animal problems have become fixtures of daily life in many countries - it is the forgotten animals - the lawless animals.
It could be your or mine beloved companion animal that are hit by a car and lies by the roadside, paralyzed in pain, dehydrated and starving - cold nights with slower heartbeat ..... alone ..... and no one cares .....
To save animals from the cruel everyday life would not cost any more than to institute laws and ensure that the laws are followed.

Politicians and many citizens do not want to acknowledge or see the gigantic cruel problem - the elevated animal abuse and suffering - therefore caught dogs and cats and brought to a life in prison - long or short time - most will be killed inhumanely - they are not seen as sentient beings - they are seen as vermin to be sanitized.
In this way, politicians do not have to create uncomfortable laws that citizens must follow, and can therefore easier fishing votes, to upcoming elections.
All politicians in government positions today and which are not doing anything about the ongoing animal abuse and suffering - are insensitive and unethical people that should be replaced.

Local Governments and Authorities
Local government is a form of public administration which in a majority of contexts, exists as the lowest tier of administration within a given state. The term is used to contrast with offices at state level, which are referred to as the central government, national government, or (where appropriate) federal government and also to supranational government which deals with governing institutions between states.
Local governments generally act within powers delegated to them by legislation or directives of the higher level of government. In federal states, local government generally comprises the third (or sometimes fourth) tier of government, whereas in unitary states, local government usually occupies the second or third tier of government, often with greater powers than higher-level administrative divisions.
The question of municipal autonomy is a key question of public administration and governance. The institutions of local government vary greatly between countries, and even where similar arrangements exist, the terminology often varies. Common names for local government entities include state, province, region, department, county, prefecture, district, city, township, town, borough, parish, municipality, shire and village.

Europe - notorious as the countries with cruelty to animals as culture.
The EU estimates that there are approximately 100 - 150 million (150,000,000) abandoned companion animals in Europe. There is currently no state common laws in the EU or collaborations between European countries, in order to improve the situation of this group of animals - the companion animal - to be helped by the EU, they must be subject to the EU treaties.
We think the EU is taking too little responsibility and we want that companion animals urgently be included in EU treaties - which most Member States of the EU responded positively about, in a survey request made by the EU. Basic protection by EU laws is a must and it is what the citizens of Europe demand. We know that 50% of all complaints sent to the EU, is about animals in distress. European citizens are trying urgently to call the EU's attention on atrocities taking place in Member States. Especially the abandoned companion animals suffering, then they are treated very cruel, and seen as vermin, and are subject to business and profit in what we perceive as, sanitation management. 
EU Member States, who year after year demonstrate a lax and disrespectful attitude to animal welfare - Member States that constantly violate EU agreements, do not follow conventions or laws - in this area - or do not have modern ethical laws. Those Member States should be punished vigorously, by the EU.
Is it callous aliens who rule European Union?
We do not understand how the EU can look at these atrocities and not vigorously working to mitigate the escalating cruelties - we really wonder what kind of people, who represent the citizens in the EU and Parliament?
Lacking these people total compassion for living beings and exist solely in their positions for the negotiation of money? Scandinavia and Western Europe feel alienated by the total disrespect for animals that exist in some Member States - a united Europe implicate that requirements of common law should be at all levels, particularly in the areas of ethics, then this especially unites citizens in a good way. 
Through the EU's disregard for citizens' wishes to raise animal welfare in the European Union, the EU commits ethical violations when States with high level of cruelty to animals affect the citizens psychologically negative, with anxiety and mental disorders.
Children forced to live in these States and witness the atrocities that are worse than horror movies causing nightmares for some and abetting atrocities to others. Studies showing that cruelty to animals and crime go hand in hand, why the EU through this indulgence also contributes to the increase in crime rates in the eurozone - Contact with the EU 
In addition, the EU Commission should embrace the wishes of a common better animal welfare, which shall apply to ALL animals in the European Union.
If the EU may face high levels of animal welfare, this will affect both people and animals positive in the EU and also in other countries - as we know is a urgent need.
