Animal Welfare - Traditional views of Working Animals Versus Pets in Homes

Animals in Crete information attempts to explain the cultural differences in attitudes towards pet welfare between the local Greeks and Northern Europeans. Times are changing rapidly with many animal welfare centres established by local private  groups in the main towns. Each municipality has by EU law to establish and operate a dog rescue centre.

Animal Welfare is being taken more seriously by Cretan/Greek residents and expats alike to improve the well being of pets in their custody from retired donkeys, to stray dogs and feral cats. The podcasts cover a range of subjects from within Greece and overseas including RSPCA in Britain.
