Cruelty in Crete/Greece, SHOCKING - PHOTOS ARE HORRIFIC

Πριν λίγες μόλις μέρες έγραφα για τον σκύλο που τυφλώθηκε από τον ιδιοκτήτη του στην Κρήτη. Και πάλι στην Κρήτη κάποιος πυροβόλησε έναν σκύλο στο κεφάλι. Δείτε τις φωτο στο άλλο σάιτ που παραπέμπω:


"This poor dog was shot in the face and left in agony for days. She was found - inside the Agios Silas Church.
I've never seen anything like that in my life and hope I never will again. The vet wants to do everything he can to help us with the prosecution.
On closer inspection he found the small round shot balls so it was a shotgun but at close range - he may have been holding the dog while he did it because the vet said the barrel must have been so close to her face to cause that injury.
The amount and size of the maggots in her face showed she had been there for four or five days - god knows how she didn't die of dehydration alone, never mind the horrific injury and infection.
The smell was so bad we were almost sick in the car going to the vet.
She didn't flinch or growl or anything when I had to pull her out of the narrow space she was wedged in between two walls at the church.
The old church caretaker found her inside the church yesterday when he went to clean and put her outside. He phoned George this morning then Jill and I went to get her.


Today is a holiday in Heraklion, I didn't know when I called, and every shop, including the vet, was shut but when I phoned him he came in and opened up the surgery for us.
The vet was horrified and as soon as he saw her he asked if we wanted to put her to sleep and I said just sedate her first and take a closer look and then we will see. After he checked her over and removed all the maggots I asked what he thought. I said if she will not have a chance for a good life we will put her to sleep but if she can recover we have to save her - he said we should try to save her. First we thought she had lost one eye but it is ok - he was worried the maggots had reached her brain but they had not. She has lost some teeth but he said her jaw will be able to work so she will be able to eat eventually, if she can get through these first few days.
When I got home from the vet I thought she was already dead in the back of the car- she was completely limp as I picked her up and laid her down in her bed. The most important thing was to get some liquid inside her. All those days with not even water should have killed her. I made a solution of honey and warm water and, with a syringe, squeezed it in the good side of her mouth and it just poured out again. After two more attempts she swallowed - I couldn't believe it. She swallowed about 7 or 8 tiny 2.5ml syringes of liquid but is so exhausted I left her her quiet for an hour and by then the chicken soup was ready and she swallowed more than 10 of the 5ml syringes of that. She's got to take antibiotics and pain killers and they are so strong she can't have them on an empty stomach.
She is so low I don't know if she will survive tonight - if she does I think she has a good chance. Even if she does not make it she will die knowing that not all people are murderers and someone loves her. She deserves this chance whatever happens.
I don't know what to do about finding and prosecuting (hopefully hanging) whoever did this but first I am going to try.
Reaction to this tragic dog has been of utter disgust for the person or persons who did this.
This is just one example from a shocked reader,
HI JOAN THIS IS REALLY DISTURBING AND CAN ONLY BE ADDRESSED IN ONE WAY THE CULPRIT SHOULD BE NAMED AND SHAMED TO STOP THIS HAPPENING AGAIN OR AT THE VERY LEAST MAKE EVERY PERSON IN OUR COMMUNITY AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING.
I SUGGEST THAT WE GET THESE PHOTOS MADE INTO COLOUR POSTERS AND STATE THE FACTS OF THE CASE AND OFFER A 2,000 EURO REWARD LEADING TO THE ARREST AND CONVICTION OF THE CULPRIT THESE POSTERS SHOULD BE DISPLAYED ON EVERY LAMP POST AND EVERY ESTABLISHMENT THROUGHOUT THE AREA IT WILL ALSO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF THE VALUABLE WORK YOU AND PAWS DO I WILL PERSONALLY PAY THIS REWARD FROM MY OWN POCKET SO IT WILL NOT BE A BURDEN ON P.A.W.S FINANCES "
