Hundreds of marchers, many leading their pet dogs, took to the streets around Poland to protest against cruelty to animals. Animal rights defenders want increased penalties for cruelty to animals and aree launching a citizens' legislative initiative by collecting 100,000 signatures. Marches were held in Gdansk, Lublin, Poznan, Kalisz, Torun and
Olsztyn.
What is the situation of animals in your country? Animal Planet seems to show that cruelty and/or neglect are rather widespread.

Poles generally like animals and hate animal cruelty, as do I.

Mind you, much of Poland is agricultural, and rural people often have a different, rather pragmatic, attitude to animals than city dwellers, which I suspect the marchers were.

Yeah, Burek na krótkim łańcuchu (what's a good English equivalent of Burek? - Fido, Rex?) on a short chain attached to his ramshackle buda is still pretty much the norm, innit?

OK, I have to admit that it is very a common picture in Poland. I hated it too but it's good to see that people are trying to put an end to the animal cruelty.
