ΑΜΕΣΗ ΑΝΤΑΠΟΚΡΙΣΗ ΣΤΗΝ ΕΠΙΣΤΟΛΗ ΤΗΣ ΠΦΠΟ
Αναγκαζόμαστε για μια ακόμη φορά να προσφύγουμε σε σας, ευχόμενοι να δώσετε γραπτές και αυστηρές εντολές κυρίως προς τις Αστυνομικές Διευθύνσεις Δωδεκανήσου, Κυκλάδων,Πελοποννήσου, όπου, επιτρέψτε μας να πούμε, κάτω από τις μύτες των Αστυνομικών Τμημάτων συντελείται καθολικά και κατ εξακολούθηση η αξιόποινη και εξαιρετικά επώδυνη για τα ζώα πράξη του παστουρώματος αυτών και βαρύτατη κακοποίηση που διώκεται ποινικά. Παστούρωμα, όπως γνωρίζετε, είναι το δέσιμο των ποδιών του ζώου ( κυρίως παραγωγικών και ιπποειδών) μεταξύ τους, συνήθως ένα μπροστινό και ένα πίσω της ίδιας πλευράς ή τα πόδια ανά δύο δεμένα (διπλή παστούρα). Ακόμα πιο βάρβαρη πρακτική είναι το δέσιμο των ποδιών του ζώου με το κεφάλι, κάτι που συνηθίζουν ιδιαίτερα σε βοοειδή.
Κάθε καλοκαίρι λαμβάνουμε συνεχώς καταγγελίες από τουρίστες, Έλληνες ή αλλοδαπούς, οι οποίοι ταυτόχρονα διαμαρτύρονται για την αδιαφορία των αστυνομικών, όταν προσφεύγουν σε αυτούς . Είμαστε απόλυτα σίγουροι, ότι, αν τα αστυνομικά τμήματα είχαν στοχοπροσήλωση στην μαρτυρική για τα ζώα αυτή πρακτική και έπρατταν κατά νόμο και ΑΥΤΕΠΑΓΓΕΛΤΩΣ, το φαινόμενο θα είχε εκλείψει .Όμως συμβαίνει ακριβώς το αντίθετο, με αποτέλεσμα όλα τα ζώα να είναι παστουρωμένα.
Δείτε την απάντηση που λάβαμε και το περιεχόμενο της .
Τέλος, αξίζει να τονισθεί ότι, στο πλαίσιο διαμόρφωσης πλήρους εικόνας επί του υπόψη ζητήματος, οι περιφερειακές Υπηρεσίες θα υποβάλλουν περί τα τέλη Σεπτέμβρη στο παρ’ ημίν Αρχηγείο αναφορά αποτελεσμάτων (έλεγχοι/παραβάσεις) για περιστατικά κακοποίησης ιπποειδών – παραγωγικών ζώων, κατά το χρονικό διάστημα από 01/06/2021 έως και 19/09/2021.
IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO PFPO’S LETTER
DATE: 15/08/2021 PROTOCOL NUMBER: 1615/21
To: Leader of EL.AS., General Michalis Karamalakis
Notification: Supreme Court Prosecutor’s Office
Subject: Request for an Animal Pasteurizing Directive
Dear General,
We are forced to appeal to you once again, wishing to give written and strict orders mainly to the Police Directorates of Dodecanese, Cyclades, Peloponnese, where, let us say, under the noses of the Police Departments the crime is universally and continuously committed and extremely painful for animals act of their pasteurization and severe abuse that is prosecuted. Pasteurization, as you know, is the tying of the legs of the animal (mainly productive and equine) to each other, usually one front and one back of the same side or the legs in two tied (double pasteurization). Even more barbaric is the tying of the animal’s legs to the head, something that is very common in cattle.
Every summer we constantly receive complaints from tourists, Greeks or foreigners, who at the same time complain about the indifference of the police when they turn to them. We are absolutely sure that, if the police departments had aimed at this practice for the animals and acted in accordance with the law and OFFICIALLY, the phenomenon would have disappeared. But the exact opposite happens, with the result that all the animals are pasteurized.
For your convenience, we attach a relevant circular of the Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure, as well as an opinion, which was provided to our Federation by the competent Professors of the Veterinary School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, K. M. Papazoglou and N. Diakakis.
We ask you, as we have said, to issue an Instruction or Order to the AT, the Directorates and the Regional Directorates, as they campaign, so that this practice disappears completely, asking them to inform you regularly about the results of their actions. .

Dear Ms. Bombolaki,
Following the no. 1615/21 from 15/08/2021 of your letter, we would like to inform you that, with the care of our Directorate, an order was issued to all the competent existing Services, with the main objective of protecting productive animals and equidae, through the intensification of police controls and the strict implementation of existing legislation.
To this end, reference was made to our previous orders for the general application of the current legislation on animals, as well as the Circular Directive 1837/108300 of 02/08/2018 of the Ministry of Rural Development and Food (protection of working equidae). In addition, guidelines were given – instructions to raise staff awareness of incidents and complaints of animal abuse, so that the Greek Police can actively and effectively assist in the elimination of such abusive behavior and in improving the living conditions and well-being of those in question.
Finally, it is worth emphasizing that, in the context of forming a complete picture on this issue, the Regional Services will submit at the end of September to the previous Headquarters a report of results (inspections / violations) for incidents of abuse of equidae – productive animals, during the period from 01/06/2021 until 19/09/2021.
Yours sincerely,
Stylianos VARDIABASIS Brigadier
