 The Greek billionaire Mr Stelios Hatziioannou has donated a large amount of money to the abused donkeys of Santorini. The 40-year old owner of EasyJet and EasyCruise maritime companies has pledged the sum of £24,000 to the Santorini Animal Welfare Association for that purpose. He is also prepared to donate a further £1,000 every time an abused donkey is rescued and rehabilitated.
Mr Hatziioannou, who has been a regular visitor to Santorini since his childhood, says he has personally come across the maltreatment of the island's poor donkeys at the hands of their abusive owners, a memory that is rankled in his mind for many years now. That is how he decided to make such a donation in order to help himself in the protection and welfare of these donkeys, who have been for decades the trademark of Santorini.
