"Greece might be trying to clean its streets by killing strays, but all the scrubbing in the world won't clean its image if the killings continue."--IDA President Elliot M. Katz, DVM
"Please join me in conveying outrage and shock over the compassionless treatment of animals in Greece," --Marijo Gills, founder of Welfare for Animals in Greece who documented the poisonings
"As the daughter of a three-time Olympic coach, I am appalled, as would have been my father, by the cruel and deliberate poisoning of thousands of homeless dogs by the city of Athens in its effort to 'clean up' the streets prior to the opening of the 2004 Olympic Games. To give starving dogs food laced with poison, as a means of population control, is simply barbaric. Their slow and excruciating deaths undercut not only the 'civilized' image of Athens, but the ideal of perfection towards which Olympians aspire." -- Myriam Alaux
