Animals Left Starving in Aftermath of Devastating Fires in Greece

Wildfires during the past week in Greece have left little in their wake but a barren landscape. The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) estimates the fires killed 66 people and destroyed "more than 4,000 homes in 110 villages and nearly 500,000 acres of countryside and farmland". 

It will take at least 6 months to grow new crops. In the meantime the animals, most of which are free range, have nothing for food. Farmers and ranchers generally have no insurance in Greece.

There are also lost or stray dogs and other animals, frightened and hungry.
