The black horse in the film is a mare that was terribly abused. She was cared for by Alex, a dedicated and devoted person for horses. In the film she is being walked by him, as a form of physio therepy to keep her joints moving and to stop arthritis setting in. Her leg had been badly damaged but she is getting on very well with his love and attention. I don't know if you meant that horse. He tends to all the horses.

do you know the black horse is that the horse with the funny hoof?

Have recently returned from Paphos and found this Shelter. Could not believe that there could be so many animals , yet no nasty smell !

Great to see the animals looking so content and well looked after. Thank Goodness for such caring people.

I will certainly tell everyone about this place.

Have posted a video of what I saw there a few weeks ago . Hope you find lots more help :)

Thank you so much for letting me know. I'm only a human and I only know a few words in your ancient language, so please be patient with me. My whole adult life has been to help animals throughout the world and I don't speak their language either - but care and love needs no words.

Thank U all so much for helping this animals

My dog Kismo is from Limmassol in Cyrpus !

I took him with me in '94 to Holland because he was chained up all day long

Now he is an old guy ! 15  he will become this month

He had a happy and good life so far

He' s wonderful !

Good luck! Hope to return to Cyprus one day and visit your sanctuary

Hi Ann,

Just wanted to comment on the video, great job.... Also would like to say i have worked for Paphiakos a while now and we couldnt do what we do without the generosity of the public and organisations who support us.. so thankyou.

Thank you Dominique. We are just a small grain of sand in a huge desert - but every effort is worth it for giving a better life to some, if only a few animals, who live in misery at the hands of some humans.

[eleni55555]

I couldnt watch all of it. its too depressing

[aposteriori1]

At least you tried. Many people don't even admit to its existence, and most don't even care. But there are a few wonderful people out there that do, and they make a huge difference to the lives of some animals.

[Indexilia]

Thank you for beeing here ! You have helped my cats and dog several times and most of all I feel that you really care. Is not just a "job" for you.

[guccik]

do you need any full time staff to look after the horses and donkeys ?

[aposteriori1]

Dear Guccik, at the end of the film, there is a telephone number, website and email address. Please contact them if you can offer any help on a voluntary basis, they would love to hear from you.

[dervit]

I'm ashamed to be Cypriot.

[aposteriori1]

No, dear dervit. There are wonderful Cypriot people who are helping the animals in a way that English and others cannot. Believe me, in every country, including England, there is much to be done. Never be ashamed, instead, do what you can. I feel that way sometimes about what's happening to animals in England right now, but at least we do have recourse in the courts. It will come here too.

very moving video... i hope people will wake up soon and understand that human life is not more valuable than the animals... we came to the world to live together, not to eliminate the things we found before us... thnx for this video

PLEASE CAN AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE SIGN THE PETITION AGAINST CRUELTY TO ANIMALS IN CYPRUS

the address is-- THEPETITIONSITE-- and search CRUELTY TO ANIMALS IN CYPRUS.... sorry but i am unable to post the addresss on this site. Thankyou Euxapisto

[aposteriori1]

I have already signed this petition a long time ago - and I'd sent to to loads of people also.

[soscty]

I can't believe how slow it is taking to get 2000 signatures.. I am disappointed that there has only been 50 in the last month!... This Video certainly "hits home" GREAT JOB!!

[EMyoume]

Beautiful video, well done! Does someone know which music it is that you hear on the video?

[aposteriori1]

I used 'Canon' by Pachelbel.

I'm sorry mboukia,but I thought your comment looked French, but I can't comprehend the translation. Is it possible to put it into English for me?

[MegastefZX12]

what you are making a video about cyprus aimal welfare and you can't even understand when someone types in greek?

anyway mboukia said:tell your friends about the video

[pointerspice]

You all do a fantastic job, this video made me cry and smile :(((

I hope you manage to continue doing such a wonderful job for all those animals!

[aposteriori1]

Thank you pointerspice for your comment - it's really encouraging. Please also take a look at 'The Curse of Ignorance' and see what you think. It's also very distressing though.
