Those who voted for Euthanasia and those who did not even bother to vote are a disgrace to Romania and to its EU membership – please contact them (details below) and show your disgust at their prehistoric attitude towards stray animal numbers management.

Dear all,

Yesterday was the vote of the Committee for Public Administration on the management of stray dogs legislative project:

– 6 deputies voted for sterilization and return

– 16 for leaving the choice of the management method up to the city halls (we know that euthanasia will be chosen by majority of mayors) – the proposal of PDL (Bucharest prefect + Sulfina Barbu)

– 8 did not atttend at the meeting

Although by

the lobby made we won the leadership of important parties, Liberal (PNL) and Social Democratic Party (PSD), which has informed their members that the party line will be sterilization, only the members of PNL voted for sterilization and the PSD members (except one) either have voted for euthanasia or they did not attend at the meeting.

Today the financial interest for the business “stray dogs” and / or the cowardice of those who have voted for the mayors to decide the management method, believing that all sides will win: animal lovers, non-animal lovers and mayors.

Also yesterday we submitted, in printed form, to the Commission, the Chamber of Deputies and to all parliamentary groups, the petition of the website of FNPA which raised in a record time 28,000 signatures (only from Romania) as well as another petition (from the diaspora) with 7000 signatures. Next days we’ll also bring the petitions to the Government and ANSVSA.

We found out the Chamber of Deputies have seen thousands of petitions and letters. Thank you all. We should not stop! All recognized that never such lobby was made as for a law like this one

And yet … not all is lost.

The draft law will go again, in the same form, to the plenum of the Chamber of Deputies. There you will see the political will. We hope that they will vote again and return to the Commission and the members of the parties which are in opposition with PDL party (the Governamnetal party) will comply with the policy directive.

Vote situation:

For Sterilization – Thank You for the Correct Approach to Stray Animal Management.
