The illegal horse transport was denounced by the Panhellenic Equine Protection Association “Ippothesis”. This time an unlucky horse was found by chance in the carriage of a truck in the port of Aegina. In fact, the man who allegedly owns the truck had covered the animal with tarpaulins so that it could not be seen!
A volunteer of “Hippothesis” told documentonews.gr that “They found it by chance while they were waiting at the port of Piraeus. I have filed a complaint with the Piraeus Prosecutor’s Office. We don’t know where the horse might have ended up.”
As characteristically uploaded by “Hypothesis” on its official account on Instagram:
To this day, no equine registry exists in the country. The Mitsotakis government and the Ministry of Rural Development stubbornly refuse to engage in dialogue with equine protection associations, such as “Hippothesis”. It is reminded that there is an EU community regulation. for the registration and traceability of equines since 2008.
According to what Ms. Roussou had stated in Documento last February: “From all the complaints, we can see the ignorance of the control authorities and their apparent indifference, especially for equines. And the HYPAT refuses to implement the EU regulation on the registration and traceability of equine animals since 2008”.
Today in our country 80% of equines are not marked. The owners are unknown, and the perpetrators of the state-responsible abuses and murders are also unknown.
