I received a call that
said they heard on Chios
news that the mayor of
Chios, Dr. Broulis, was
handing out free poison in
a bid to get rid of the
rats in Chios on the
October 9, 2007. So I
started to mail this
around the world and got a
great response. This is
the letter I wrote:
Dear Friends,
It has become known to me
that on the 9th of
October, the mayor of
Chios, Dr. Petros.Broulis,
will be giving out free
poison to the residents in
Chios, Greece. He says it
is to kill the rats, but
we all know that this
poison is deadly and will
kill hundreds of stray and
even owned animals in a
terrible death. This is an
urgent plea to you all so
please write the the Mayor
and also the local
newspaper here in Chios
with your thoughts. Email
to
news@alithia.gr
Kind Regards,
Carly
Provan-Politis
President

Then after a few hours I
received over 500 emails and
then the TV and
Newspaper's here called
Alithia wanted to
go with me and interview
me live from the poison
handout.
So on October 9th, I was there
at 10am with the film crew
from Alithia, Antenna and
Alpha and we recorded how
easy it was to receive 2
big bag full of blue round
poison. Hundreds of Chios
residents were there for
it, even priests. I
spoke on the TV about the
animals that will suffer,
the environment and also
about children. I have a
son of 5 that would
believe that this was a
candy. It was aired on TV that
night and the media bomb
exploded. Everyday the
Alithia newspaper was on
our side, with pictures of
poisoned animals and
letters from around the world in
protest. But the Mayor of
Chios is yet to speak
about it!!!! I called him
but he will not speak to
me!!!!
12 October: Myself, Pepi
Bouse the vice president
of CAWS and a local
politician were called to
have a live debate on ET-3
at 9am today. It was
great! The lady journalist
was on our side like
thousands of others. She
attacked the politician who
made it clear that he was
out of line and that
what he did was wrong.
That he said they had done
this for over 9 years and
that everyone does it.
