Greece
takes on the EU presidency with a mass poisoning
As
Greece prepared to take over the EU presidency from Denmark, 18 dogs and
some 40 cats were poisoned in Zappion - the area which hosts the EU
presidency in Athens. A similar incident happened last time Greece held
the EU presidency. The poisonings come under two weeks after a proposed
new law on animal welfare was released.
