Opposition leader Gravanis criticizes municipality over stray dogs

Antonis Gravanis, head of the main opposition Joint Vision List of the Municipality of Komotini, criticized the municipal administration for stray dogs.

“Under the responsibility of the Mayor, citizens are exposed to the same images. It seems that for the last four years, Garanis seems to have failed to realize that this situation created by stray animals is within its responsibility,” said Gravanis. – we see you boasting. However, this dire situation is getting worse day by day. Of course, this situation is not only painful for citizens; It's painful for animals too. At the same time, the Mayor holds the neighboring municipalities responsible for the situation our municipality is in and condemns it. However, he took the initiative to solve this problem and did not take any joint action or cooperation. The reason why the problem continues to grow despite the efforts of the animal hospice supervisors is the ineffectiveness of the Mayor.

Gravanis, who made suggestions for the solution of the issue, said in his statement:
“Our recommendation; We recommend that a Supervisory Board be established immediately for stray and owned animals, consisting of a veterinarian, hospice staff, and any representative of the police force. Within the scope of the powers to be given to this board, it will be checked whether the owners comply with the laws in animal care (such as neutering, chipping, etc.), starting from the villages and animal breeding facilities. In fact, this Board to be established will collect and sterilize stray stray animals in a timely and complete manner when necessary. In addition, sterilization will be taken care of under the responsibility of the owners of the owned animals, and if there is financial impossibility, the municipality will bear the costs of sterilization.

We would like to remind you that we have presented our proposal that we have mentioned many times on the gradual reduction of unclaimed street soldering irons. However, our proposal is not implemented within the personal responsibility of the Mayor. We would like to state that the municipality should organize a campaign to inform and sensitize citizens. The main goal of the campaign is; informing people who own animals in cities, villages, barns, etc. about the law and fulfill their obligations.

Our priority is the cooperation of all relevant organizations and communities, animal welfare associations and even other Municipal council groups. In this way, a more efficient and successful policy will be guided by everyone. In particular, we ask from the municipal authority not only the respect of the citizens, but also the respect of the animals. Countless creatures live on the streets of Komotini, without care and protection. Of course, it is impossible to predict the outcome of this. Do you think these creatures deserve such treatment, sec? Minister?"
