Donkey Santury
« on: July 14, 2008, 05:15:34 PM »
As some of you will know I am very concerned about these poor donkeys thatJudy takes in to her donkey rescue. We need help urgently, a family have had a house built next door and asked for the donkeys to be moved, the council have agreed to this and only given Judy a few days. When she tried to talk to them she was told to tye the donkeys to a tree and leave them.
There is an on line pertition going and I would like to ask you all to have a look and then if you wish to you can sign it. You will find it ay Agni Travel on message board General holiday questions, title Can we save the donkey santury. Please Please read it and if you feel likeme sign it now, as we only have a little time left. Thanks Viv

Here is a copy of an email I received from Judy a few days ago.  Unfortunately I cannot attach the petition (I don't know how to!)but if you are concerned then please do as Judy suggests and drop and email to the people she mentions below....

"On 7th July, the Mayor of Paleokastritsa informed us that the Corfu Donkey Rescue is going to be ‘sealed’ within 20 days and 40 donkeys are going to be thrown out.  It is the job of the local authorities to collect abandoned donkeys but they never did their job.  CDR has been doing it for 5 years with no help or backing from government.  Now the shelter is threatened with closure. 


We are within months of securing land purchase but this takes time as we need to get licenses and planning permission and then fence and build stables. All of you, who know Corfu, know this takes forever!  The authorities say they cannot give us any time.  They are receiving so much pressure from only one neighbour who refuses to be patient.

 

The authorities totally under estimate the popularity of the work done by the shelter volunteers.  They under estimate the popularity of it for the tourists and even the Greek people themselves.  We are known all over Greece and world wide.  So rare is it to have a donkey shelter in Greece they cannot even categorize us.  We believe that common sense will prevail and all we ask for is more time to prepare a new place for the donkeys.

 

To help our cause please could you download the petition and collect many signatures. Then post it back to me before 21st July.     To Judy Quinn at Box 5210, Liapades, Kerkyra.  We haven't got much time so please do it now before you forget.

 

It would also help if you could send very polite emails to the addresses below.  Just a sentence to show your support of the work done at the shelter and ask them to give us the necessary time.

 

Mr Stefanos Poulimenos (Governor of Corfu)  grafeionomarxi@kerkyra.gr

 

Paleokastritsa Municipality (The shelters in this region)  paleomun@otenet.gr

 

Thank you so much for your support.  We can only do this work because you have helped us in the past.  Please continue that support and we can go into the future

I have sent a respectful but strongly worded email to both of the email addresses provided by Eileen and signed the petition too. My daughter will be very upset if the donkeys are binned!
A woman has the last word in any argument, anything a man says after that is the start of a new argument!
