Google’s initiative dubbed “Grow Greek Tourism Online” will expand to six more destinations in Greece, it was announced at a press conference on Tuesday.The initiative will now expand to the Peloponnese, the Cyclades, the Ionian Islands, Macedonia, the Dodecanese and Attica.According to figures, 51 percent of EU households use the Internet for travel planning. In Greece, only 10 percent of international tourist arrivals come via the Internet due to the low web presence of the country’s tourism enterprises.
Pig owner prosecuted after refusing to have his beloved pet put downThe owner of one of world's oldest pigs has been prosecuted by the RSPCA because he couldn't bring himself to have his beloved pet put down when it fell ill. A court heard he didn't take Mr Pig to the vets because he couldn't come to terms with having the elderly hog euthanised.The RSPCA were tipped off and officials seized Mr Pig and had him destroyed without informing Mr Skinner, a retired pet shop owner.The first he heard about the death of his trusted pet was while he was being interviewed by RSPCA officers. Mr Skinner, a divorcee, lives in an idyllic old mill cottage in the village of Corfe Mullen, Dorset. The 13 bed, grade II listed property backs on to the River Stour and featured in the Doomsday Book.Mr Pig had the run of a nine acre island at the back of the cottage and could be patted and fed by guests staying at the B&B.

Dogs are left for some time either tied to their "bench" and benching areas are at times very empty. Dogs are quite often left in their travelling crate, where food could be very quickly and surreptiously given between the bars. We showed dogs briefly a few years back and still go from time to time. Cat showing is generally very friendly and mostly not that competitive, but mostly pretty much OK - even to complete newcomers. Dog showing distinctly cool and unwelcoming to newbies and can be pretty darned competitive.

Born out of frustration with beauty pageant style dog shows like Crufts which judge dogs on the basis of their looks, even when it’s those looks that can cause them to suffer unnecessarily, we created Ruffs!Ruffs, is our alternative dog show, which welcomes all dogs no matter what they look like, from the 'Golden Oldies' to the 'Perfectly Imperfect'.This dog show with a difference celebrates dogs for the right reasons - their health, happiness and welfare.
Ever wondered why the RSPCA refuses to attend Crufts? Or why the BBC will no longer air the dog show on any of its channels?Selectively breeding animals for exaggerated physical traits, obsessing over “pure” bloodlines and making close family members mate with one another isn’t just creepy – it’s a recipe for genetic disaster and causes immense suffering to dogs.
Fair point Tony.But I'd have KFC every time over KC.
Beautifully preened Springer Spaniel Max left his owner red-faced and the turf brown when he answered nature's call and submitted his own entry.While cheerily trotting around the prestigious dog show's arena with his owner Dylan Thomas, Max decided he had to go. There and then.
