Animal rights group PETA accuses Greek authorities of covering up what it calls the 'cruel' treatment of donkeys on Santorini island which is a popular tourist destination
"Greek authorities should be stepping up and stopping donkeys from being marched into the ground in Santorini, not covering up the cruelty of forcing them to carry heavy loads of tourists up hundreds of steps," PETA director says.Animal rights group PETA has accused Greek authorities of covering up what it called the "cruel" treatment of donkeys on the popular island of Santorini and blocking its efforts to highlight their plight.
PETA, which published footage from 2018 showing animals being whipped with sticks and overloaded, accused local authorities of blocking its campaign on buses and taxis depicting an exhausted donkey next to the words "Donkeys Suffer for Tourists. Please Don't Ride Them." The group said about 100 out of 2,000 donkeys and mules are being used for tourist rides on the island.
"We care about their well-being," Zorzos told Reuters, adding that the municipality had no jurisdiction over any campaign on buses or taxis.
