Hundreds of stray dogs in Greece have allegedly ended up in dingy rooms in Germany and other countries in northern Europe for the purposes of bestiality. A Thessaloniki prosecutor found an animal welfare group operating in northern Greece guilty of trafficking animals for the purposes of bestiality and animal experiments.

The strays, collected from around Greece, either ended up dying at the hands of sexual perverts or were used in experiments. Lawyer Katerina Tzoli sued an officer at the Thessaloniki Airport who she blames for turning a blind eye when examining animal travel documents.

“Over 600 dogs have traveled over the last four years from around the wider area of Thessaloniki, and another 400 from the rest of Greece,” she says, pointing to operations around Serres, Volo and Drama.

Specifically, a German couple collected strays from neighborhoods and dog shelters, promising that they would be adopted by families. “There’s even a special site that shows photographs of dogs with families in northern Europe aimed at giving an air of legitimacy to the operations. The photos, however, are far from the grim reality with the helpless animals ending up in dark hotel rooms to satisfy the sick tastes of zoophiles, who used the animals for bestiality, while others ended up at labs that used them in experiments,” she charged.
