Interview with Vesna Jones, founder of the charity Greek Animal Rescue, talking about the plight of stray animals in Greece on the BBC World Service 9th December 2011.
2012 - A number of shepherds on Skyros Island Greece (this is common at more locations in Greece) have a cruel habit of using dogs as a tool to restrict the movements of goats and sheep in open spaces meaning that the dogs act as "fences", "scaregoats" or commonly known "alarm dogs".
Consequently the dogs are forced to live chained up on deserted roads and tracks and barely seeing anyone. They are often left without food or water and they often do not have a shelter. They suffer from neglect and abuse.
