i Live in Northern cyprus where animal cruelty is rife. I run a restaurant here. The polotical situaTION IS NOT GOOD HERE AT PRESENT , SO PEOPLE ARE LEAVING IN THIER DROVES THEREFORE LEAVING THIER ANIMALS TO FEND FOR THEM SELVES. ITS HEARTBREAKING AND A FEW HAVE BEEN DUMPED ON ME. WHICH TO DATE I HAVE FOUND 18 DOGS AND 7 CATS NEW HOMES.THE ANIMAL RESCUE ARE NO HELP AS THEY ARE OVERSTRETCHED. THEY HAVE A POLICY OF NEUTERING AND RETURNING DOGS ONTO THE STREET. THESE DOGS ARE TAGGED SO YOU IDENTIFY THEM AS STRAYS. XMAS DAY 2 TURNED UP ON MY DOORSTEP AT THE RESTAURANT AND MY CUSTOMERS FEED THE. AS A RESULT THEY CAME BACK EVERY DAY, I FEED THEM UNTIL MY NEIGHBOURS COMPLAINED. AS A NATION THEY DO NOT LIE DOGS. I HAD NO CHOICE SO HAD TO STOP FEEDING THEM. THEY MOVED ACCROSS THE ROAD BUT HAD STONES THROWN AT THEM CONSTANTLY. IT BROOK MY HEART. I BEGGED AND EVEN OFFERED TO PAY THE ANIMAL RESCUE TO TAKE THEM IN. NOT A PRIORITY I WAS TOLD. JUST START A FEEDING CENTRE. THE RESTAURANT IS ON A MAIN VERY BUSY ROAD, I WORRIED FOR THIER SAFETY. ALSO POISIONING IS RIFE HERE.SO THIER SAFETY AND SURVIVAL WAS PARAMONUNT TO ME. NO LUCK. ANYWAY LAST MONDAY A VERY ANGRY FARMER AND THE LOCAL POLICE STARTED THROWIUNG STONES AT THEM AND CHASED THEM DONE THE ROAD WHEREBY THEY SHOT THE GIRL JILL. THESE TWO WERE INSEPERABLE BROTHER AND SISTER. I CALLED THEM JACK AND JILL. JACK RAN OFF AND I HAVE HIM HIDDEN AWAY SAFE UNTIL I CAN FIND A HOME FOR HOM. HE HAS LOST THE WILL TO LIVE AND IS IN A VERY BAD STATE. THE ANIMAL RESCUE WUILL STILL NOT TAKE HIM AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I CAN KEEP HIM HIDDEN BEFORE THE NEIGHBOURS RING THE POLICE.THEY WILL SHOOT HIM ALSO. I SOMETIMES WISH THEY HAD GONE TOGETHER BUT HE IS SUCH A LOVELY THING. GOD I ONLY WISH I HAD MONEY SO I COULD SET UP A CENTRE TO ELIVATE THE CRUELTY HERE JILL YOUR DEATH WAS CRUEL AND UNJUST. I WILL LOOK AFTER JACK FOR AS LONG AS I CAN. .I SPEND 3 AND A HALF WEEKS SINCE YOU WERE DUMPED ON ME TRYING TO CARE FOR YOU BOTH AND WAS WORRIED FOR YOUR WELFARE. REST IN PEACE JILL.JACK MISSES YOU SO MUCH BUT HE IS IN THE KENNEL WITH HOLLY AND SHE IS HELPING HIM COME TO TERMS WITH YOUR PASSING. I FEEL HELPLESS AND WISH I COULD HAVE DONE MORE TO HELP YOU.GOD BLESS YOU LITTLE GIRL XXXXXXXX
