Apparently some of the wild dogs you see about the place aren’t actually wild after all.
Nooo, indeed not.
A surprisingly large number are latch key dogs.
They’re allowed out to walk themselves - though how would you know seeing as they are all (homeless and homed) without collars and genitalus intactus if you know what I mean.
Now, this presents a problem.
KAR - Kyrenia Animal Rescue - bunch of Brits, backed by the RSPCA who go about ‘rescuing’ and re-homing strays and stuff - have a policy of rounding up the wandering dogs, and if they are happy and healthy they just remove their unmentionables and simply return them to exactly where they found them.
The logic behind this is simple: -
a) they can’t pick up all strays as they’ve got nowhere to put them
b) a lot of the strays are doing quite nicely thank you in the wild
c) there is a real need to reduce their numbers and so by removing their you know whatsit bits they can’t reproduce!
So, at the end of the day everybody’s happy (a bit sore for a few days but happy).
BUT...KAR have inadvertently been upsetting the locals by whipping away the assets of countless latch key dogs.
I mean, imagine your surprise...you’re a Turkish Cypriot, you’ve a big manly dog - we’ll call him Steve for the sake of it (the dog, not the Turkish Cypriot) - you’re proud of just how much testosterone Steve has as his manliness is a testament to your manliness I should think...and you’re about to go to work and so you let Steve out for the day to go and play with friends.
Little do you know that while you go about your working day Steve has been scooped up, sedated, snipped and placed back on the streets to find his own way home.
You arrive home expecting big butch Steve to swagger in and regale you with stories of how many girl dogs he’s sniffed today only to find he’s morphed into Stephanie right before your eyes...no longer is your pride and joy genitalus intactus - no siree Bob, his assets are dawggone!
And, yes, you can imagine this has been causing a little tension between us do-gooding settlers and the locals who were quite happy before we waded in and started meddling with the unmentionables of the local wildlife.
Trouble is, on the whole Kyrenia Animal Rescue are heroes...I guess they just need to be a bit less enthusiastic with their scalpels!  |

We have a 5 year old Poodle.He roams free in the area around our street socializing with the other dogs of the neighbourhood and has a girlfriend or two who he some times brings home to share his food and show them his collection of bones, hidden everywhere in the garden.He is jealous, lively, crafty and tries to appear like a threat to passers by though he never actually attacked anybody.Barks a lot,eats well and has his siesta in the summer.He loves souvla, halloumi and bitches.He is small but thinks he is a Great Dane.In other words he is very Cypriot.
When he was younger my wife mentioned castration. I just looked at her and she never brought up the subject again.I didnt want a eunach in the family, lazing about looking like a fat monk and scoffed at by other dogs  That would really break my heart!! If he ever gets into trouble imregnating somebody, i ll take the responsibility on his part and adopt the little bastards..... |

Women always seem so eager to catrate male dogs, that should worry all men.  |

I have a 100 pound white boxer who thought he was a werewolf and barked at everyone. One time he even got a hold of one of those little lapdogs in the park and used it as a basketball. It was then that we decided to whack his peepee.
He whimpered and cried for a few days and it looked as though he was going to settle down. Now, two years later the bastard thinks he's King Kong and behaves like him too. I called the Vet about it once and he said it could be "residual Testosterone". Two years later? My dog must have had some balls. |

 @Xenos' story...
On the original posting: I don't see any point to complain for the locals.
If they are afraid that their dogs get 'treated' - well, just put them a collar and end of story. |
