Greek municipalities get more funding for animal shelters
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
A program of the Interior Ministry will allocate 2.9 million euros to 18 municipalities of Greece for stray cat and dog facilities, it was announced on Tuesday.
The "Argos" program will gradually provide a total of 40 million euros to meet their new obligations, which include taking care of stray domesticated animals by building animal shelters.
"With today's decisions for funding, municipalities have already received nearly 5 million euros, against the 600,000 euros provided for annually under the old framework," Alternate Interior Minister Stelios Petsas said.
