There are still committed people in the country trying hard to change the daily conduct and mentality of how animals should live in Greece. It is about time to realize that our "pets" are sentient beings and to improve their living conditions. This is one more PUBLIC AWARENESS TV Spot focusing on this effort and produced pro bono for SAWA: "Pets are not refundable items! They need daily interacting and caretaking. If you are considering getting a dog take into account that it needs to be walked at least two times a day no matter what the weather! It is illegal and inhumane to keep your pet on a balcony or a terrace, in a cage or on a chain! You have to take into account the costs for taking your dog to a vet and buying good quality dog food, your dog cannot live on bones and leftovers! Can you cope with all the above? If you are often away from home? When you leave to go study or on holidays? Before you make the big step get informed! Speak with your vet and your local shelter. If you are absolutely sure you can proceed to this commitment then adopt a stray and save a life!" A very big thank you to Elias Eliadis for the montage and the production of our TV spot http://www.elichord.gr
