:: About CIDAG ::
This coalition of Greek and Foreign animal welfare/rights groups was launched in June 2002 with the objective to lobby the Greek Government, EU politicians and MEP's to solve the problem of the ever-increasing stray dog and cat population in Greece by: implementing a nation-wide spay, neuter, release and identification program; an educational program on responsible pet ownership; enforcing existing animal protection laws. We currently count 31 member groups and 45 supporters.
In December 2002 a New Bill appeared on Greek TV, introducing high penalties for animal abusers, nation-wide spay/neuter and release program for the strays, identification and registration for owned dogs. We sent our proposals for improvements on the New Bill in January 2003. Very few were included in the Law 3170, which was voted by the Greek Parliament in June 2003. We will continue to lobby the Greek Government for improvements and enforcement of the Law.
On January 30th 2003, CIDAG handed over 49.000 petition signatures to the Greek Embassy in Brussels, Belgium. There was a parallel demonstration in front of the Greek Embassy in London, United Kingdom. Additionally, we handed over 16.000 signatures to the Ministry of Agriculture on October 4th, 2004.
