And yes, my Swedish friend Jonsered and I look forward to committing a felony or few in your neighborhood.Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-35935850406542526702012-06-07T15:15:54.538-04:002012-06-07T15:15:54.538-04:00Hi Lil and Kathy - thanks for your comments.

It will probably be more effective than our axe.Yrsa Sigurdardottirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889410114439001207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-70594839804125495382012-06-07T06:36:35.756-04:002012-06-07T06:36:35.756-04:00Sorry for your loss, Yrsa.

It strikes very close to home. <br /><br />Stray dogs and cats are rampant on Mykonos, and uncaring folk--both local and tourist--make the situation worse. On top of it all, the municipal government refuses to do anything to help, leaving it all to the Mykonos Animal Welfare society, a volunteer organization supported now entirely by donations. <br /><br />MAW battles everyday for the rights of the abandoned, poisoned, and hunted. In fact, just this morning I received this petition from MAW aimed at getting the local government to take responsibility for the care and treatment of the animals of Mykonos. <br /><br />http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/assuming-resonsibility-for-the-animals-of-mykonos-by-th.html<br /><br />Let's make a neighborly deal: You sign the petition and I'll stop by with my chainsaw to help out with the cages.Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-5552887444221846602012-06-06T22:52:50.435-04:002012-06-06T22:52:50.435-04:00That is very sad.

Harm happening to animals, especially those we cherish is awful. <br /><br />There is no contradiction in wanting to protect animals from harm and also wanting people to come to no harm. It's caring about living beings.<br /><br />I can understand how you and your spouse feel. Hack up the darned cage. Why does anyone want to capture stray cats anyway -- unless their owners are found or new homes are found for them. Hack away!kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-71033141782567734852012-06-06T21:24:43.347-04:002012-06-06T21:24:43.347-04:00Oh Yrsa, this is so sad.

I'm sorry, you really can't save them all, no matter how much we'd like to.lil Glucksternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288522126331817172noreply@blogger.com
