Stray dog situation in Romania. Animal cruelty (August 2011) 

Take note Serbia – there seem to be so many similarities – a mirror image almost.

—————————————

Dear all,

In June, a Written Declaration in the European Parliament (26/2011) was launched by Romanian MEP’s, Daciana Sarbu and Adina Valean,  Elisabeth Jeggle (German MEP), Raül Romeva i Rueda (Spanish MEP) and Janusz Wojciechowski (Polish MEP), concerning “the management of the dog population in the European Union”; asking Member States to adopt relevant strategies on this that include “measures such as sterilisation of owned and stray animals, dog control laws and the promotion of responsible pet ownership.”

To be adopted the declaration must be signed by at least 378 MEPs (up to now 140 signatures have been obtained); the lapse date for the declaration is October 6.

The society “Ärzte für Tiere e.V.” (doctors for animals) (contacts: Dr. Rumi Becker – Ärzte für Tiere, presse@aerztefuertiere.de, Sonja Gollwitzer, s.gollwitzer@gmx.de

have launched a petition in this respect:

and also call upon all animal welfare organizations from across Europe to unite, thus putting pressure onto the EU to act. They would like to form one delegation that will personally submit the signatures to Brussels.

A European wide law gives much more chance to animals. It is more efficient to concentrate all our fights in a single place than to divide them in every country with problems. Moreover there are more chances the law to be respected, controlled, and followed by the Governments of member states.

It is the case of Romania, who has a good animal protection legislation, but the corruption and ignorance of authorities make it almost impossible. It is a case that in Romania, known by cruelties against animals, where tens of thousands of animals are left to be born onto the street every year, only to run the stray dog business – a real industry funded by the public budget.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Carmen Arsene
