Romania: Further Update 10/9/13 – Are Government Pockets Being Lined With Gold ?, Are the Romanian Government / Regional Authorities Using Nationwide Stray Animal Killing To Divert Attention Away From Gold Mine Public Protests In the Country ?

ROMANIA – Further Update 10/9/2013

The Greed of Gold and Stray Catching !

Gold is discovered near to the capital – people are taking to the streets in objection to the way it will be mined – using Cyanide – Is the Romanian government very much making a lot more with the press and media over the stray dog issue as a way of very much diverting attention away from their own dealings in the gold mine – and what will line who’s pockets with the money that is made from the gold mining if it does ever get to commence ?

So, regardless of what can be viewed as a bit of a cover up, which instead has attempted to get attentions diverted to the stray dog issue and the alleged killing of a child by stray animals, even this is very much in doubt now.

Here, we will provide you with some links; proof of the other side which the Romanian government don’t want you to see – instead, they only wish to divert attention away from their gold mine actions and instead concentrate on the issue of stray dogs (and cats).

See the information below in “Life for a stray dog in Romania” to see how much money is being given (largely by the EU) for stray dog controls.  Like other nations in Europe which we have exposed on this site; Romania government does not want to invest the money into the sterilisation of stray animals; thereby gradually reducing their numbers over time.

Instead, they wish to retain the current policy of capturing and killing as many stray animals as possible – it has become a very lucrative business for some.  It could be stated that their pockets are being lined with gold – and now they also have found a gold mine, well ………………………….

IT HAS COME TO LIGHT THAT THIS COULD BE A CASE OF THE ROMANIAN GOVERNMENT USING THE STRAYS ISSUE TO COVER UP AN INFANTS ATTACK BY A PEDOPHILE AND CHILD MURDERER TO GET A VOTE TO SUPPORT THE SLAUGHTER OF THE STRAYS

 

Gold mine links:

“Gabriel has been beset over the years by a series of problems in getting the green light for the project. Local citizens have been up in arms over what they say will be the virtual destruction of their village. Critics say the area’s heritage, including 2,000-year-old Roman mining corridors and Rosia Montana’s historic centre, are threatened, while environmentalists and the local public are concerned over the use of cyanide in the extraction process”.

 Information that has been supplied to SAV – un edited:

 Life for a stray dog in Romania

According to a calculation of Helping Animals in ten years, Romania has not only improved stray animals, but increased. And the profits are soaring.

 

  • In Bucharest in the period 2001-2007 has been spent almost 9 million to kill 144,000 dogs (62 euros per head).
  • In Arad in the 2008-2010 period 2,986 dogs were killed for 308,048 euros, or an average of more than 103 euros per animal,
  • in Slatina in the 2008-2010 period 1,111 dogs were killed by spending 205,500 euros, almost 185 euros per dog,
  • in Brasov in the period 2003-2008 were killed 20,000 dogs, to the tune of 1.45 million euros (72 euros per dog),
  • Constanta in 2008-2010 were killed 20,000 euros for the $ 1.5 million (75 euros per dog).

The result is that the massacres of stray dogs has increased.

*** Sterilization instead only costs 20-25 euros per dog. ***

Perhaps this is the reason why politicians and companies have no interest in the stray issue being  interrupted.

Dear all,

The case of the 4 year old child killed by dogs is becoming more and more blurry and uncertain for many people who are starting to ask questions and wonder.

The child was found approximately 1 km away from the park and in order to get there he would have had to walk a highly difficult road even for an adult! Especially for a child!? He should have passed a steep and then pass homeless people.

Furthermore, the majority observes the attitude and behaviour of the parents, which are constantly present in the TV studios, especially the mother who is awkwardly relaxed and untroubled. In order to counter-balance this relaxation, some journalists resort to shocking titles, by expressing their own suffering, by photos. There are more and more details which do not make sense and which do not fit the story. And the grandmother who lost sight of the child is not in any way legally accused or pursued, not even interogated!

On the contrary, the entire fault is attributed to the NGOs!!!!!!

 A continuous and intense campaign, full of lies, calumnies, accuses, unimaginable scenarios regarding the animal lovers, especially the NGOs, is undertaken by the televisions, especially by “Antena 3” (please, send protests to site@antena3.ro ).

The animal welfare NGOs are merely „bastards who steal the state’s money”, which have „turned rich by exploiting the strays problem”, which have „done businesses with the mayors for huge amounts of money”, „impostors, fake animal lovers, only ruled by their own interests”. The loss of credibility towards the NGOs has occurred and thus the people are starting to talk about the NGOs like entities for which the „truth” is only now surfacing. Fake statistics, images with „fearsome” strays, interviwes with „terrorized” citizens, have fully occupied the TV broadcasts these days! Fake histories, forged documents are presented to the population!

 For 10 days the televisions are debating and are histerically yelling and screaming on the same subject!

 A campaign without precedent in Romania, led mainly by Antena 3, hides INCREDIBLE POLITICAL STAKES AND INTERESTS! An unimaginable vizual and psichological pressure! A mediatic destruction which was never met before!

 We have managed to defeat a political force by stopping mass euthanasia in 2011! Now their strategy has changed by creating such a public pressure, which, supposedly, will put pressure on the political bodies! The loss of credibility of the NGOs, of the animal lovers, currently represent the priority of the country! Once these occurred, they lead to the meeting of various objectives having collosal financial implications!

They have manipulated the collective mentality in such a way that the people themselves have massacred strays in the streets, people are abusing and hitting them, the public dog pounds are emptied over night, a national dog cathing procedure has begun, the dog catchers even enter the properties of the people. They have entered so deeply in the psyche of the people that the people have started to denigrate each other, to mutilate one another!

 TODAY (10/9/13) , at 12:00 AM, THE MASS MURDERING OF THE STRAYS IS BEING DECIDED!

The protests against the gold extraction by cyanides in Rosia Montana has brought 10.000 people in the streets, for 9 days. This is a protest without precedent in Romania but still the televisions only rarely present this subject. Nonetheless they are constantly debating the subject of the child killed by the strays!

Only the joint and distructive forces they resorted to in a premeditated manner show us just how high the stake really is!

We need foreign pressure and interventions, in any ways possible!

We hereby kindly ask you to organize protests in front of the Romanian embassyes/consulates, please attempt to show in the foreign press the diabolique interests of the statal authorities in Romania as well as the way in which they meet their objectives! The corruption has surpassed all limits in Romania and it can no longer be controlled!

Thank you!

 Liebe Freunde,

 Der Fall des 4-jährigen Kindes, der von Hunden getötet wurde, erscheint nun zunehmend unglaubwürdiger für die meisten Leute, die sich immer mehrere Fragen stellen. Das Kind wurde ca. 1 km von dem Park weit entfernt gefunden, und um dahin zu gelangen, hätte es einen sogar für einen Erwachsenen besonders beschwerlichen Weg hinterlegen müssen! Umso mehr für ein Kind! Es hätte einen steilen Hang überwinden und dann an Obdachlose vorbeilaufen müssen. Zudem bemerken die meisten nun das Verhalten der Eltern, die laufend in Fernsehsendungen zu sehen sind, und insbesondere das der Mutter, die merkwürdig entspannt und gelassen scheint. Um dieser Gelassenheit entgegenzuwirken, helfen manche Journalisten nach, indem sie den eigenen „Schmerz“ verkünden oder Fotos vorzeigen. Immer mehr Sachen passen nicht ins Bild. Und die Großmutter, die das Kind nicht beaufsichtigt hat, wird in keiner Weise beschuldigt oder zumindest befragt. Doch die ganze Schuld haben die Tierschutzorganisationen zu tragen!!!!!!!!!

Die Fernsehsender, ganz besonders Antena 3, führen eine kontinuierliche und intensive Lügen- und Verleumdungskampagne, mit Beschuldigungen und unvorstellbaren Szenarien gegen die Tierschützer und insbesondere gegen die Vereine. Die Tierschutzvereine seien „Widerlinge, die das Geld des Staates verschwinden lassen“, die „sich an Straßenhunde bereichert“ hätten, die „für Unsummen Geschäfte mit den Bürgermeistern abgewickelt hätten“, „Hochstapler, falsche Tierliebhaber, alle nur vom Interesse getrieben“. Der Verlust an Glaubwürdigkeit ist somit erzielt, so dass die Leute nun über Tierschutzvereine reden, als ob jetzt alle „Wahrheiten“ ans Licht gekommen seien. Falsche Statistiken, Bilder mit „wilden“ Straßenhunden, Interviews mit Menschen, die von Hunden „terrorisiert“ worden wären, überfluten die Medien diese Tage!! Es werden lauter falsche Geschichten und gefälschte Dokumente vor den Augen der Bevölkerung herumgeführt!

Bereits seit 10 Tagen besprechen und behandeln die Fernsehsender dieses Thema hysterisch.

Eine in der Geschichte Rumäniens noch nie dagewesene Kampagne, die besonders von dem Fernsehsender “Antena 3” (please, send protests to site@antena3.ro) geleitet wird, verheimlicht UNGLAUBLICHE POLITISCHE INTERESSEN! Der psychische und visuelle Druck ist unerträglich, der Lynchmord durch die Medien beispiellos!

Es ist uns gelungen, eine politische Macht zu besiegen, indem wir die Einführung der Euthanasie in 2011 verhindert haben! Nun hat sich ihre Strategie geändert, es wird Druck auf die öffentliche Meinung ausgeübt, der soll nun angeblich weiter die politische Entscheidung beeinflussen und begründen. Die Verleumdung und Schlammbewerfung der Tierschutzvereine und Tierliebhaber sind nun die Hauptziele der ganzen Bevölkerung, und sobald dies erreicht wird, führt es zur Umsetzung von Objektiven von höchstem finanziellen Interesse!

Das kollektive Gewissen wurde derart manipuliert, dass die Leute nun eigenhändig Hunde auf der Straße massakrieren, vergiften, mit dem Brecheisen erschlagen; die städtischen Tierheime werden über Nacht geleert; eine nationale Kampagne für das Einfangen der Hunde hat begonnen, Hundefänger dringen auch in den Höfen der Menschen ein. Das Bewusstsein der Menschen wird derart überrumpelt, dass diese sich sogar gegenseitig verleumden, angreifen und verstümmeln!

HEUTE WIRD DIE MASSENTÖTUNG DER HUNDE BESCHLOSSEN – 12:00 AM !!!

Der Protest gegen die Einsetzung von Zyaniden für den Goldabbau in Rosia Montana hat seit 9 Tagen 10.000 Menschen auf die Straßen getrieben. Obwohl es eine noch nie zuvor dagewesene Protestaktion in Rumänien ist, reden die Fernsehsender nur höchst selten davon, und behandeln fast ausschließlich das Thema des Kindes, das von Hunden gebissen wurde und gestorben ist.

Nur der Umstand, dass diese Kräfte alle sehr kalkuliert, konzentriert und mit verheerenden Wirkungen zum Einsatz gebracht werden, verrät uns, dass der Einsatz, um den es eigentlich geht, enorm ist!

WIR BRAUCHEN DEN DRUCK VON AUßEN, IN JEDER FORM!

Bitte organisiert Demonstrationen und Protestaktionen vor den Botschaften und Konsulaten Rumäniens, stellt der ausländischen Presse die schäbigen Interessen der Staatsmächte Rumäniens vor, und die Art, in der diese ihre Ziele erreichen! Die Korruption ist im Moment in Rumänien so hoch, dass sie komplett außer Kontrolle geraten ist!

 

Besten Dank!

THE WAR HAS BEGUN

– How the Romanian Government are using the death of a young child to misuse public funds and begin the vile massacre of Romanian Strays

URGENT – CHECK OUR PETITION UPDATE – IT HAS COME TO LIGHT THAT THIS COULD BE A CASE OF THE ROMANIAN GOVERNMENT USING THE STRAYS TO COVER UP AN INFANTS ATTACK BY A PEDOPHILE AND CHILD MURDERER TO GET THAT VOTE TO SLAUGHTER THE STRAYS…HOW LOW WILL THE ROMANIAN GOVERNMENT SINK TO GET THAT VOTE?

NEW FOOTAGE BY JOURNALISTS FOLLOWING THE ROUTE THE 4 YEAR OLD WOULD HAVE HAD TO TAKE TO GET TO WHERE HIS BODY WAS FOUND…A ROUTE BY THE GRANDMOTHERS STATEMENT WOULD HAVE TOOK HIM 45 MINS TO MAKE  ( SHE STATES OUT OF HER SIGHT FOR JUST 45 MINS)


YOU WILL SEE IN THE CLIP THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK FOR A 4 YEAR OLD TO COMPLETE. PROVING THE COVER UP AND HOW ROMANIA’S GOVERNMENT WOULD RATHER PROTECT A PEDOPHILE AND CHILD MURDERER IF IT GIVES THEM THE EXCUSE TO MASSACRE THE DOGS AND MAKE SOME EASY MONEY. 

 

THE WAR HAS BEGUN

A few days ago sadly a young child and a sibling was in a Romanian park was left unsupervised by the grandmother. Sadly the boy was attacked and killed by a stray dog the boys name was Ionut, his brother also was bitten but this was not fatal . We do not know what provoked the attack, or who was to blame

This most certainly was an awful thing to happen to any child, to any family. Across Europe we know this is a rare occurrence. However this single child’s death has given the Romanian government the perfect excuse to declare war on the strays and line their vile pockets with public money.

 The Romanian government right now are cruelly catching every stray they can see in every town and village and horrifically battering, poisoning and stabbing them to death. Tiny puppies, pregnant bitches NONE are being spared the barbarity

For every dog caught, killed, cremated the local dog pound invoices its local city hall on average 120 euros each dog, the city hall then take from the public purse (local tax payers) and sends a nice hefty cheque back to the dog catchers and city pound that are normally related in some form or another to the mayor of the city hall or the mayor is on the dog catchers payroll.

 

Now do you see why they need public backing, why the scaremonger tactics?

They are not asking for the citizens permission to kill the dogs, they are asking the citizens if they can con them out of the taxes they pay the city halls!!!

THIS ENTIRE EXERCISE AND SCAREMONGER TACTICS IS A BLATANT MISUSE OF PUBLIC FUNDS, SOMETHING THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION CAN STOP AND INVESTIGATE

……………………………………………………………………………………………

Please help us to stand up for the strays of Romania and end this one sided, unfounded and barbaric massacre now by completing the following I whatever order you wish:

Step 1 – Educate yourself on the situation, read the information and stats below to understand why this barbaric war on the strays is a smoke screen and why it needs to be stopped.

 

Step 2 – Click here and sign the petition adding your own personal comment to why this must be stopped. Give your voice to those that cannot speak for themselves.

 

Step 3 – Share and cross post this red alert on yours and others social pages. In emails and anywhere that will help this red alert go viral as soon as possible.

 

Step 4 – For even greater impact, make your way through the emails and telephone numbers, face book pages and so on, contacting the people in power that can and should stop this vile war from continuing. Some example letters have been provided below. (Please do change and add your own words. This really will have a greater impact than a generic letter sent by others)

 

………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

 

STEP 1

(EDUCATE/ARM YOURSELF WITH THE FACTS)

 

Romanian Government lies:

LIES – Romanian stray dogs are dangerous and MUST be eradicated by all means necessary.

The Romanian government claim that their stray dogs are a terrible threat to public safety( using the death of a poor child to spur this war), so we compared recorded stray dog attacks in other European countries in comparison to Romania’s. We then compared the human population of each of those countries in comparison to Romania’s. After all if dogs are a threat to humans, we must take into account the human population in comparison to the attacks.

 

This is what the Stats prove:

 

FACT – Despite having a higher amount of strays on the streets in comparison to other European countries , they have a lower year on year rate of dog attacks ( See our data at end of this red alert) to the majority of other EU countries.

 

FACT – You are no more likely to be attacked by a dog in other European countries than you are buy a stray dog in Romania.

 

FACT – You more likely to be attacked by a owned pet dog in Germany, UK or Italy than you are from a feral street dog in Romania ( see stats below) The Romanian Government are lying not just to its own people but to the rest of Europe.

 

 

This cruelty MUST STOP 

This massacre MUST STOP 

This Fraud MUST STOP 

This lies MUST STOP 

 

The European commission already have a petition from (Kendra Pinder) Action Aid for Animals on the table that was presented last year that is still open, warranting an investigation into Romanian Governments misuse of public funds they need to action this immediately.

The European commission MUST ACT NOW and demand a stop to this massacre pending a full investigation into the basis of this war on strays. This is NOT about controlling the population of domestic strays, this is a cover to commit fraud of their own countries citizens taxes on a mass scale by the Romanian Govenment.

 

FACTS AND FIGURES PROVING THE WAR ON STRAYS BY THE ROMANIAN GOVERNMENT IS BUILT ON LIES

 

Germany Dog Attacks 303.031 – Population 82,302,465

Italy Dog Attacks 213,446 – Population 60,550,848

UK Dog Attacks 221,583 – Population 62,035,570

France Dog Attacks 222,147 – Population 62,787,427

Ukraine Dog Attacks 175,485  –  Population 45,448,329

Spain Dog Attacks 148,091 – Population 46,076,989

Romania Dog Attacks 82,189 – Population 21,486,371

Belgium Dog Attacks 38,045  – Population 10,712,066

Austria Dog Attacks 30,054 – Population 8,393,644

The Romanian government states its strays are so very dangerous towards humans.

YET other European countries who have a higher rate of dog attacks, or lower Human population but higher dog attack ratio advocate sterilisation NOT BARBARIC AND UNFOUNDED MASSACRES.

This is because unlike Romania WE DO NOT use our domestic stray population to defraud our citizens.

RMNA0001

LATEST NEWS from that given below –

FURTHER, FURTHER UPDATE and Actions – 9/9/2013

Things are changing all the time folks.  This is new breaking news:

FURTHER UPDATE 9/9/2013 –

NOW DECLARATION MADE THAT CHILD WAS NOT KILLED BY DOGS BUT BY PAEDOPHILES !

If Mr. Tudor’s theory is correct then it seems the child was sexually abused (found with pants down) and killed by paedophiles – NOT by dogs.

Please have a look – all those in Romania /able to read Romanian!

 (translation. from below article)… Corneliu Vadim Tudor has launched exclusively for DC News, a hypothesis according to which the child of four years dead in the Park Tei has not been killed by dogs, but violated and killed by one or more persons, and the report medico-legal does not submit such things, because it would have been done in a hurry, to pressure from the public opinion ….

 Bratu Iulian / 06 Sep 2013 16:48 Europarlamentarul Corneliu Vadim Tudor a lansat, în exclusivitate pentru DC News, o ipoteză conform căreia copilul de patru ani mort în Parcul Tei nu a fost omorât de câini, ci violat și ucis de una sau mai multe persoane, iar raportul medico-legal nu prezintă aceste lucruri, deoarece ar fi fost făcut în grabă, la presiunea opiniei publice.

FURTHER UPDATE and Actions – 9/9/2013

Appeal to stop the systematic slaughter of stray dogs in Romania

06/09/2013

Dear President Băsescu,  

The Members of the European Parliament Intergroup on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals are deeply sorry for the recent death of a four-year-old boy who was attacked and mauled by a pack of stray dogs, after his grandmother had lost sight of him. This is a very sad casualty which should not have occurred.

The incident has raised again the unresolved issue of stray dogs in Bucharest and throughout Romania. We are aware that the dog that is being primarily held responsible for the attack had been released from a public shelter by a small animal rights organisation in Bucharest, thus violating the rule not to release a dog known to be aggressive. As a result, all animal welfare organisations are now blamed for protecting dogs more than people forgetting the very valuable work which has been done for years by organisations such as Vier Pfoten or Save the Dogs who have been running neutering campaigns and education programmes to fight against the abandonment of stray dogs.

In 2011 a large majority of the European Parliament adopted the  by Daciana Octavia Sârbu, Adina-Ioana Vălean, Elisabeth Jeggle, Raül Romeva i Rueda, Janusz Wojciechowski on dog population management in the European Union which calls on Member States to adopt comprehensive dog population management strategies which include measures such as dog control and anti-cruelty laws, support for veterinary procedures including rabies vaccination and sterilisation as necessary to control the number of unwanted dogs, and the promotion of responsible pet ownership.

A large majority of Romanian MEPs have also signed this declaration.

Your call for a systematic mass killing of strays goes against the will of the democratically elected Romanian MEPs. This is something which we consider as profoundly undemocratic and unacceptable in the European Union.

The Members of the Animal Welfare Intergroup call on you not to promote the legalisation of systematic mass euthanasia of stray dogs. This will cause a horrible and useless massacre of dogs which goes against the values and objectives of the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union.

We hope that our voice will be heard and look forward to your reply.

The Members of the Animal Welfare Intergroup

 

Ask the Romanian Government and Parliament to stop killing stray dogs

Urged this week by President Basescu to legalize mass killing of all stray dogs, it is expected that the Romanian Government and Parliament will take a quick emotional and tragic decision on September 10th. The demand of the President comes after recent tragic casualities. In the meantime animal haters have started mass violence and killing of stray dogs even in Bucharest, the capital of Romania. Authorities are tolerating these actions.

Betreff: Mass killing dogs back in Romania! Please, PROTEST against the massacre!!

Dear all,

In September 2, in Romania, a child was killed by dogs. Too little mentioned, the 4 years old child was left too long unsupervised by his grandmother, so he came from a park, far away, on a private fenced land, where dogs were.

The all televisions and newspapers is CONTINUOUS talking about this tragedy , do shows, stories , interview people who feel disturbed by dogs, show false statistics, distorts reality, inflamed the entire population.

On the contrary, despite the pain, father and grandfather of the child were talked about the dogs like “they are also poor beings”; they don’t consider the dogs to be guilty but condemns the authorities because they did nothing for a correct management.


AUTHORITIES USE THIS TRAGEDY CLAIMING THE KILLING OF ALL DOGS!

Yesterday, the Romanian President, Traian Basescu , urged the Government to elaborate an emergency ordinance that all dogs be killed. In parallel, President of the Chamber of Deputies asks for urgent draft legislation providing for killing dogs.

For 20 years in Romania the dogs were tortured, captured and taken to “shelters” – extermination camps, where if they did not die of hunger and thirst they were killed by cruel methods. Hundreds of thousands of dogs died in the camps of the City halls, however huge amounts of tens of millions of Euros are „spent” (fictively) for „managing” the stray dogs.

The problem was not solved in the street but even got worse because nowhere in the world the mass killing was a solution.


Although it has been shown both by the experience of other countries and own (Oradea) that sterilization of stray dogs is the only solution for the disappearance of stray dogs , the Romanian authorities have totally ignored it, insisting on a failure method!

Why? Because killing dogs in Romania has became an industry, tens of millions of Euros ” spent ” for managing dogs actually went into the pockets of those involved .

Killing does not solve the problem so in the street will always be dogs so the authorities will have permanent reasons for “spending” of public money.


The next week will be discussed the KILLING DOGS PROJECT!

Help us to stop this massacre that not even brings any benefit .

Subject email/letter: STOP mass killing dogs! Adopt mass sterilization!

SAMPLE LETTER

 For the attention of the Romanian authorities:

We regret the tragedy of the child killed by dogs. Such dramas should not repeat. But if you insist in applying the same methods of dog mass murder that has been conducted in Romania for 20 years and that has not resolved the problem in the streets, this risk will remain permanent.


We do not understand the interests of the Romanian authorities to continue or implement again a method that has proven over the world to be failed, expensive, but as well immoral, shameful.

We do not understand why, despite all the evidence:

  • the benefits of dog sterilization
  • the results obtained in Oradea, where, by the Sterilisation and Return programme, the number of stray dogs decreased from 5000 to 300
  • the outcomes of the World Health Organisation’s study (undertaken between 1981 and 1988) concluding that “the euthanasia or incarceration programmes which are both inefficient and expensive”
  • the experiences of other countries that, after years of mass murder without effect, implemented mass sterilization laws having noticeable effects,

you do not accept to implement the only solution for managing the dogs, that is the sterilisation and return of the gentle and healthy stray dogs, compulsorily accompanied by the sterilization of dogs with owners that are the main source of street dogs by mass abandoning. Approximately 5 million puppies are born in Romania in rural areas every year, some of them being killed by their owners and the others being abandoned in the street. So long as the dogs with owners will not be sterilized, through coherent programmes, the streets will never be free of dogs.


We also remind you:

  • the Constitutional Court of Romania decided (Decision 1/2012) that euthanasia is ILLEGAL as a stray dogs management method until all other solutions have been applied properly, uniformly and with responsibility by local authorities
  • The Lisbon Treaty (art. 13, TFEU) states that the “animals are sentient beings”
  • the European Parliament Resolution of 4 July 2012 on the establishment of an EU legal framework for the protection of pets and stray animals ( 2012/2670 (RSP )

 We ask you for an URGENT STERILIZATION & RETURN LAW OF ALL STRAY AND OWNED DOGS

Romania is already known by animal cruelty .
Please, be advised that if the killing of dogs starts, we will show to the entire world the reality of the dog camps, we will notify worldwide about the financial interests behind the business of killing dogs, we will withdraw any support that we have given so far to your country, we will boycott Romanian products and tourism, as no one will want to associate with a corrupt, cruel and immoral country.

Dear animal friends,

this time it’s not about dogs or cats that need to be rescued.

There is still a very important issue, which is close to our hearts: It’s about the horrible end of the slaughter animals after their miserable lives. (Don’t worry, on this email as well as the petition, no terrible photos are shown)


To protect the live stock from daily horror and cruelty during slaughter, we have launched an EU-petition and urge you to support it with your signature.

We need your help to make this petition known in all European member states.
Please pass this email on to all responsible and animal loving people you know of please also on facebook and twitter.

In addition if it is feasable please set our petition LINK onto your website – this would be very helpful!
We would be delighted if we could gain you in addition to numerous animal welfare organizations and associations as well are representatives of the industry as a major supporter of our petition.
You would be in good company. Please have a look:

Turkey: Turkish Dolphin Park Closed After Online Petition.

TURK0001

Turkish dolphin park closed after online petition

Link:  http://ofcoursevegan.com/2013/08/15/turkish-dolphin-park-closed-after-online-petition/

Petition brings down Turkish dolphin park.

In another victory for animal activists and sympathizers, a dolphin entertainment park in Turkey was shut down recently. (Hopefully, others around the world will suit.) The park was in Antalya’s Kaş, a small coastal town where tourism, fishing, diving and yachting are popular. (Considering all the water activities available it hardly seems necessary to keep dolphins captive there.)

A Change.org petition helped gather 20,000 signatures
against the dolphin park and this crowd sourcing of outcry played a role in the positive outcome for the dolphins. Increasingly, it seems people are aware the dolphins are intelligent creatures that need open space in order to be healthy. Caging them appears to strike many people on an instinctual nerve that such parks are actually dolphin abuse and no dolphins should be held captive to do tricks for crowds simply to make money for businesses.

According to the World Society for the Protection of Animals many wild dolphins die during attempts to capture them for the dolphin trade. Additionally, about half of those capture die within three months of being confined in swimming pools.Some are also used as meat for human consumption. Tragically, in other parts of the world such as Latin America the number of entertainment dolphin parks is reportedly growing.

Though it may look like dolphins at entertainment parks are having fun, they don’t normally do many of the tricks they are taught and only doing them for food rewards. Showing human audiences dolphins doing tricks is not educational. It is exploitation for profit. If those parks truly cared about dolphins they would not buy them from dolphin hunters that kill so many while trying to capture them. If they cared about them, they wouldn’t put them in such small enclosures, or any enclosures.

Paying to see dolphin shows only further motivates people to open more entertainment dolphin parks.

FREE THEM ALL – who is the more intelligent ?

Dear Sir,

Masked street monkeys in Jakarta, Indonesia are forced to wear bizarre costumes and give street performances as their owners collect money from spectators.
The emaciated long-tailed macaque monkeys are made to wear doll masks, wigs, and clothes and perform human tasks such as riding bikes, rocking horses and scooters.

Many are brutally trained to walk upright by being hung upside down, or having their hands tied behind their backs. In the first two weeks of being trained to perform cruel circus activities, countless monkeys suffer incredibly and die.

Animal activists in Jakarta have said the practice is cruel, and illegal. 
I ask the Indonesian government to stop this cruel exploitation.

Taking Ag Gag to Court

The Animal Legal Defense Fund, along with PETA, has filed the nation’s first lawsuit against ag gag legislation, taking Utah to court for infringing on the free speech rights of activists, investigators, and journalists by criminalizing undercover investigations at factory farms. Utah’s ag gag law aims to prevent animal advocates and law enforcement from collecting evidence of egregious and illegal abuse of animals on factory farms.

Ag Gag & Animal Cruelty

Factory farms want to keep their cruel practices hidden from the public, but the public deserves the truth about how the billions of animals suffering on industrial farms are treated and whether or not laws are being broken that jeopardize food safety, workers’ rights, and environmental standards.

Shocking exposés from undercover investigations have revealed severe animal abuse onfactory farms, like animals beaten, kicked, maimed, and thrown by workers. Industrial agriculture has also brought us the unsavory likes of ammonia and pink slime in hamburgers, antibiotic-resistant “superbugs,” chickens abandoned by the thousands to starve to death, pregnant and nursing pigs held in gestation crates that never allow them to turn around, and sick and downed cowsdragged on the ground to become lunchmeat. Corporate agriculture’s massive profit ratio and proven inclination to hide in a dark world of secrecy makes journalistic and investigative freedom imperative to the well-being of animals across the nation—and to our own health and safety.

ALDF 1

Journalistic Integrity

Utah’s ag gag law criminalizes free speech. That is why the Animal Legal Defense Fund is joining with journalists Will Potter and Jesse Fruhwirth; Daniel Hauff, an undercover investigations consultant specializing in factory farms; the political journal CounterPunch; and professor James McWilliams, as plaintiffs in the lawsuit.  “There’s a long history of investigative journalism in this country based on exactly the type of research and whistleblowing that these laws criminalize,” Will Potter explains. “Ag gag laws make it impossible to report stories that are vitally important to the public.”

Utah activist Amy Meyer is also a plaintiff in the case. In February, Amy made headlines by videotaping the operations at Dale Smith Meatpacking Company in Draper, Utah from the roadside. Amy was charged under Utah’s ag gag law—making her the first person in the nation to be prosecutedunder an ag gag law–although the charges were dropped after public outcry.

Ag gag laws aim to control our behavior by instilling fear of prosecution. This is legally known as the “chilling effect” because it intimidates people from acting and gathering information—even in legally-protected ways.  Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam recently vetoed a proposed ag gag law after the Tennessee Attorney General called the bill “constitutionally suspect.” Erwin Chemerinksy, a professor and dean of the law school at the University of California, Irvine, and a leading scholar of U.S. constitutional law, has weighed in in support of the lawsuit, explaining, “The Utah law is very much directed at restricting speech, and especially particular messages.  This is exactly what the First Amendment prohibits.”
