ASPROPIRGOS CTVT
July 2017. Do you believe in ghosts? Is the industrial suburb of Aspropyrgos really full of invisible creatures? Animal Action Greece Hellas decided to investigate the mystery…and ended up meeting Bongo, Beaglena and Blacky. These three, all-too-real ‘ghosts’, were each suffering from CTVT (Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumours) – the oldest type of cancer known in nature – and […]
EQUINE PROJECT- CORFU
Where do the abandoned donkeys on the island of Corfu go? Our Equine Team discovered the answer to this question on October 3rd-4th 2017 when they visited the island and treated the donkeys of a very unique shelter. The Corfu Donkey Shelter was founded by Judy Quinn, an Englishwoman who was moved to help after seeing the plight […]
EQUINE PROJECT- KASOS
Summer 2017. Just this one case made the difficult journey to Kasos worthwhile for me, for equine vet Kleopatra, and for the star of this particular show, farrier extraordinaire, Giannis Brastianos. When we first spotted this poor girl, lying in a field above Ammoua, she didn’t get up as we approached and Kleo became concerned. When […]
EQUINE PROJECT – NAXOS
On April 27th-28th 2017 we sent Michael Gaganis and Giannis Brastianos, one of our great Equine Project duos, to visit the island of Naxos and examine as many working equids as possible, treating any that needed our help. One of the issues in the area is that people have cut down on the use of […]
EQUINE PROJECT – PAROS OUTREACH
On April 29th-30th 2017, our vet, Michael Gaganis, and farrier, Giannis Brastianos, visited the island of Paros where they examined and treated 40 working equines. Sadly, Michael and Giannis came upon many cases of “hobbling” that had resulted in many deformed hooves. Giannis treated all animals immediately and together with Michael they tried to persuade […]
EQUINE PROJECT – SANTORINI OUTREACH
Between the 8th and 9th of June 2017, Kleopatra and Aris, members of our Equine Project team, were on the volcanic island of Santorini where they provided care to 41 equids. Kleo and Aris examined and treated the retired donkeys and mules of the SAWA shelter, which is the only one on the island. Once […]
STOP THE TRUCKS
Eurogroup for Animals’ #StopTheTrucks campaign has received overwhelming support, exceeding its target of 1 million signatures to call for an end to long distance live animal transportation. #StopTheTrucks, which calls on EU decision makers to reduce and ultimately end long distance live animal transportation, exposed the many shortcomings of the current live animal transportation rules, which leave […]

Lobbying and Campaigning
Joining forces to create a favourable political environment for animal welfare… One area we focus on is lobbying EU institutions and the Greek State to deliver clearer and more consistent welfare legislation and stronger enforcement. In particular we recognise that, even though there are signs of improvement, there is still a lack of both political will and […]
