Romania and China Move Closer to Live Animal Export Agreement.

SAV Comment:

So now we hear that Romania and China have signed a ‘Memorandum of Agreement’ concerning animal health, we can all sleep safe in our beds knowing that any animals involved in this trade will not suffer ? ! ?

Romania ? – well we have covered enough recently on their attitude to ‘animals and animal welfare’ – and China ?

Here is the Chinese attitude to ‘animal health’:

China (Yet again): 6,000 Dead Pigs Dumped in River by “local pig farmers who lack awareness of laws and regulations”.

VERY URGENT ACTION REQUIRED TO STOP ELEPHANT CALVES BEING SENT TO HELL HOLE ZOOS IN CHINA – Please Act Immediately To Prevent This.

China: 800 Caged Cats Rescued Successfully in Tianjin China

China: Truck full of dogs crammed into tiny cages and bound for Chinese restaurants is intercepted by animal lovers

China: Mother Bear Abused (By Chinese Government Inaction) on Bear Bile Farm Kills Cub and Then Itself – Boycott Chinese Products Until Animal Welfare Legislation is Introduced and Bear Bile Farms are CLOSED DOWN.

We at SAV have,  some 25+ years experience in the live animal export trade; something which we publish on a fairly regular basis.  To say that we have any faith in a ‘Memorandum of Agreement’ concerning animal health between Romania and China is like us having faith in a new chocolate teapot arriving at the market.

Whatever happens, we will attempt to continue to expose exactly what goes on with this ‘trade agreement’ between two nations who are not exactly top of the list when it comes to good animal welfare.  They have to prove themselves and that this is worth more than just the piece of paper that was signed in this ‘agreement’; it needs to give attention to the thousands of animals that will become involved.

Yes, there are some great animal people in China and Romania doing what they can to help animals, and we fully respect them for what they are doing; but as the old saying goes, a nation is judged on how it treats its animals; regardless of anything else; and so Romania and China are generally viewed as very poor when it comes to ‘animal welfare’, despite the heroic efforts of the minority few helping animals.

We are watching this to see what happens in the coming months.

Romania and China move closer to live animal export agreement

Live pork and cattle trade between Romania and China could begin as early as November this year.

Chairman of the Romanian National Sanitary-Veterinary Authority (ANSVSA) Vladimir Manastireanu recently said trade would start after export certificates were straightened out and the necessary protocols were signed, which could happen in late October or early November.

The chairman said export certificates had almost been “harmonized” as negotiations continued with representatives from China’s veterinary services.

The parties are working through issues including the conditions that have to be met by importers and exporters, diseases to be supervised as well as quality levels.

The commencement of trade was only a “matter of time” as both parties were keen on the agreement, Manastireanu said.

The announcement follows an economic delegation to China involving the ANSVSA between September 2 and 7.

On 30 August 2013, Romania and China signed a Memorandum of Agreement concerning animal health and safety in relation to food exports, which paved the way for Romanian producers to enter China’s market of two billion inhabitants.

For the Romanian food companies, as well as for animal breeders, the memorandum also potentially opens export markets in other countries including Vietnam, Hong Kong and Algeria.

According to the data from Romania’s National Institute for Statistics, the total number of pigs in Romania was 5.23 million as of December last year. By head, this was a drop of 2.4 percent compared to the almost 5.4 million pigs recorded during the same period of 2011.

As for cattle, their number slightly increased from 2011 to 2012 with the number hovering around 1.26 million.

Romania / EU: Romanian Vets Say NO To Killing Healthy Animals – EU Citizens demand EU Investigation Into Funding Given By EU to Romania for Dog Control – Now In Political Pockets ?

Posted on September 26, 2013 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

RMNA0001

EUUN0001

 VETERINARIANS from Bucharest SAY NO :

– they will not perform the euthanasia on healthy animals…

A special letter, to be sent to the ANSVSA ( National Sanitary veterinary Authority ) and to the CMVR ( Romanian College of Veterinarians ) has been made available ON LINE, for all Romanian veterinarians who decide NOT to euthanise healthy animals .

The veterinarians which sent already the letter, regardless of the town where they live and practice, have explained that the euthanasia is the LAST resort when the dog has an incurable disease, which makes him suffer tremendously, or when the dogs is very very old. Euthanasia is performed ONLY by the veterinarian with the approval of the owner. Thus, if all veterinarians will support this boycott, who will euthanise the dogs ?

QUOTE from the letter
” As a veterinarian I inform you that I will note take part in the implementation of OUG 155/2001 which stipulates the “euthanasia” of dogs deeme clinically healthy, in order to diminish the number pf stray dogs on the streets, because The Veterinarians’ Code of Ethics, art.50 says : The veterinarian should abstain to perform the euthanasia with the exemption of cases where this procedure will end the pain of an INCURABLE patient.”

Also, The CMVR Decision nr. 24/03.12,20122 stipulates that the euthanasia, of dogs, with the exemption of incurable deseases represent a violation of our profession thus been banned ”
“ I would like to mention that euthanasia is a strictly medical procedure which is performed only on animals in a terminal state of a disease, with the only aim to end the pain, and our code of ethics does not allow me to use this procedure on a healthy animal ( physically and mentaly). The provisions of this law are abusive and have been taken without a consultation with specialists in this matter and do not represent my opinion regarding the management of stray dogs.


“The term “euthanasia ” has been deliberately chosen in order to avoid any other terminology ( assisted killing, killing without pain ) for moral and ethical reasons and also for the image which the other terms might generate. This confusion can raise an important prejudice to our profession as veterinarians and intentionaly lowers the level of acceptance of the deliberate end of a life.”

Thus I would also like a strict delimitation between the veterinarians who perfomr this procedure based on a medical report and those who will perform it on healthy animals..”

EU PARLIAMENT :

INVESTIGATE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PUBLIC FUNDS DESIGNATED FOR SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAMME FOR STRAY DOGS IN ROMANIA

In connection with the barbaric killing of homeless dogs in Romania, we the European Community and worldwide community demand IMMEDIATE intervention from the European parliament.

Such inhumane, cruel methods applied to neutralise the problem of stray dogs should have no place in the European Union.

Remaining silent on the subject, the Commissioners, MEPs and civil servants employed in Brussels undermine the credibility and effectiveness of dealing with such problems within the European Community.

Public funds were allocated to Romania for humane solutions to the stray dog problem including spay/neuter programs but these were never implemented. The money disappeared and animals are dealt with in a most cruel way instead and euthanised in a completely inhumane manner.

The reports in the Romanian media and true eye witnesses accounts state these cheap and effective euthanasia methods including beating to death, clubbing, injecting paint thinner or other cheap toxin into the lungs, burning, drowning and poisoning with substances including antifreeze.

In the light of the evidence presented, WE DEMAND IMMEDIATE RESPONSE OF THE SUPREME AUTHORITY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION and as EU tax payers we ask you to immediately investigate how the allocated funds were spent.

A killing programme will never be successful if Romania does not implement a spay/neuter programme. WE DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE REACTION TO THIS BARBARITY.

Romania: A Very Bad Day For Stray Animals, But Only The Start Now For The Actions Euro Politcians Will Be Facing.

Romania 4

red romania 2

Today, Wednesday 25th September 2013 is a very bad day for European animal welfare.

Please read the following for a full understanding of today’s decision and what it means for the stray animals of Romania.

Whilst a terrible death will come to many animals of Romania, it could also be said that today, by taking this action, the Romanian government and courts have rung the death knell for any productive future for their nation in Europe.

As of now, the Romanian government will be the target of thousands of different actions against them; as will be Romanian Members of the European Parliament (MEP).  Tjhere will be mass petitions constantly; and more effectively, there will be mass e mail protests and mass boycotts of Romanian products sent from the world over – a world today disgusted by what the brain dead politicians of Romania  have decided to do.  For years, the animal welfare groups and welfare NGO’s have been ignored by a government which takes the money for improving stray animal welfare, and then conveniently diverts the money elsewhere.  And all the time, the EU (Romania IS a member nation of the EU); sits back on its haunches and declares that there is nothing it can do.

EU citizens, including many good and supportive animal welfare people within Romania, are completely and utterly disgusted about what has happened; and been allowed to happen by the EU. Regarding the decision in Romania today.

The EU is going to pay a heavy price from the animal welfare lobby for its sit back and do nothing approach; that is a guarantee.  EU Commissioners and MEP’s may find that they get as much in the way of e mails etc as their Romanian counterparts.

The good thing is that in May 2014, EU citizens will vote throughout Europe for new MEP’s to represent them in the coming years.  Maybe MEP’s who did nothing about this issue will now wish that they had – the people of Europe will have their say about part of Europe in May 2014.

Lets hope that ‘do nothing’ EU Commissioners and MEP’s now glance over their shoulders to see who and what actions are happening behind them.

The Romanian government has in its actions today declared war on the rest of the world.

And as the saying goes; if they declare war, then they are going to get one.

http://www.romania-insider.com/animal-welfare-groups-appalled-by-romanias-decision-to-approve-stray-dog-euthanasia-law/107026/

Animal welfare groups appalled by Romania’s decision to approve stray dog euthanasia law

 Animal welfare groups have vowed to continue their fight against plans to euthanize Romania’s stray dogs despite a decision today declaring the measure legal.

The Romanian Constitutional Court took less than four hours today to approve the law, which was sparked by the fatal mauling of a four-year-old.

The bill, which now just needs the president’s signature to become law, allows strays to be euthanised if they are not adopted after two weeks spent in a shelter.

Protesters outside the court reacted with fury following the announcement, blocking a main road.

President of animal welfare NGO Save the Dogs Sara Turetta said the organisation would continue to fight the “appalling” measure by lobbying Europian politicians.

“Within two to three years, Europe will issue without a doubt a Directive on Companion Animals and Romania will be forced to review this barbaric and senseless law,” Ms Turetta said.

“The WHO and the OIE have repeatedly rejected the mass killings as a method to manage the stray dogs population…but the Romanian politicians continue to deliberately ignore these indications.

“It’s a behavior that finds no explanation, as it won’t just cause endless suffering to thousands of stray dogs but it will also create enormous social tensions between animal lovers and those who want to get rid of the dogs.”

Dogcatchers have already started rounding up the city’s estimated 64,000 dogs, after the Romanian Parliament passed the law on September 10, following the fatal mauling of four-year-old Ionut Anghel, allegedly by strays on September 2.

With a population of 1,883,425, there is about one stray dog to every 31 people in Romania’s capital city.

More than 6,000 people were bitten including 1,000 children in the first six months of 2013 in Bucharest, which last year recorded 16,000 incidents of dog bites.

Bucharest’s problem with strays dates back to the 1980s, when the communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu ordered the demolition of hundreds of houses and their replacement with apartment blocks as part of his urbanisation plan.

Forced to move to smaller apartments, many people abandoned their dogs.

IF YOU PROCEED TO SLAUGHTER INNOCENT DOGS, THEN BE PREPARED FOR A WORLDWIDE BOYCOTT & SEVERLY DECREASED TOURISM!!! 

THIS IS NOT A THREAT … THIS IS A PROMISE!!!!!

Romania: Court Rules Dogs Can Be Euthanized  //  She was saved .. (Euthanasia Romanian style)  CROSSPOST WORLDWIDE & INCLUDE THOSE ‘BIG BUCK’, SO CALLED CARING FOR ANIMALS ORGANIZATIONS!!!

Subject: Stop mass killing of dogs in Romania!  This information, which includes all email addresses is going out Worldwide!  THIS EMAIL, OR OTHERS LIKE IT, ARE GOING OUT WORLDWIDE – CROSSPOST/POST TO THE UNIVERSE !!!  GOD & THE WORLD IS WATCHING!

I Hope & Pray that this salutation is Truly Correct!
Honorable Members of the Constitutional Court,
Distinguished Officials,

Madams and Sirs,

Please know that mass killing of dogs is the worst decision possible: it is irrational, expensive, rejected by the World Health Organization (WHO) recognizing that dog slaughter has no result on the dog population in the street.  It is an as well known fact that killing stray dogs only pursues certain financial interests, as it is become notorious that tens of millions of EURO have been used formally, on paper, for stray dog management however in fact such amounts were used for other interests.

MASS SPAYING AND NEUTERING is the only LONG TERM solution for the decrease of the stray dogs phenomenon, as it aims to the source of the problem.  Mass killing is simply not the answer and is totally unacceptable in the civilized world of today.

We kindly expect from the Constitutional Court to prove it is correct and righteous and thus confirm by its current Decision the legal constitutional precedent given by the Decision 1/2012.  It is shameful that cruel mass slaughters of dogs can still happen in a member state of the European Union of the 21st century. The world is looking forward to hear you have reached the only correct and humane decision regarding the welfare of these animals, according with European and ethical norms, with the requests of the entire world, with the appeals from 6th and 11th September of European Parliament – Intergroup on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals who considers that this „horrible and useless massacre of dogs” „goes against the values and objectives of the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union”.

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.

I am a very simple person, US Citizen, 67 years in age, a Passionate Musician & Animal Advocate Worldwide! I (We) ask you to restore the image of your country and your people for the entire World and say NO to Animal Genocide and ask for implementation of a real, effective and civilized dog management program by mass spaying and neutering!  It is by far more compassionate & Cheaper for your economy to do this!  Offering FREE Spay & Neuter Clinics has been done in many countries, including ours, and it WORKS!  I would be the last person alive on this planet it I said the USA was without blame!!!  There are several parts of our country where Animals not treated right!  Why don’t you set an example, Right Now, that the rest of the World can see, and hopefully emulate!  Right now, you are an Extreme Example of what NOT To Do.

Respectfully, but Respect & Compassion have to be Earned,

Romania: Court Rules Dogs Can Be Euthanized

BUCHAREST, Romania September 25, 2013 (AP)

Romania‘s constitutional court has ruled that a bill on euthanizing stray dogs is legal, weeks after a 4-year-old boy’s fatal mauling in Bucharest prompted the government to draft legislation allowing the killing of strays.

Hundreds of dog lovers blocked a main road after Tuesday’s court ruling in protest. The bill needs to be signed by the president before it can become law.

Parliament voted on Sept. 10 to allow strays to be euthanized. They will be taken to shelters and, if not adopted or claimed within 14 days, killed.

Bucharest City Hall says there are 64,000 stray dogs in the capital, while animal rights groups say there are 40,000. A hospital that handles infectious diseases has treated 9,760 people for dog bites in the first eight months of the year.

Are ‘No Action On Issues’ EU Politicians Any Better Than The Corrupt Romanian Government Currently Supporting A Lynch Mob Frenzy On Stray Dogs?

Posted on September 25, 2013 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

RMNA0001

SAV Comment

– So after years and years of ignoring the NGO requests that sterilization and a government controlled programme of stray animals management is the long term solution to the situation, we are now promised by President Traian Basescu  that “After we bring the canine population to a manageable number, we can also think of another way of dealing with the problem””.

The way to deal with the problem is to stop the political corruption that is a never ending problem in Romania – and this is the real problem that President Traian Basescu needs to address – or is he one of them anyway ?

Does the Romanian government actually think about anything other than feathering their own nests from EU taxpayer finances which are given for stray animal controls ?

We suggest that it is the corruption in the political system which is the real problem in Romania, and despite his promises to do something positive, we suggest that for the future nothing will actually happen regarding stray animal management; instead, corrupt politicians will continue to line their pockets with the cash meant for the animals.

Sort that problem out Basescu and then other Europeans will consider that your nation does have some morals.  At the moment you are considered the lowest of the low – and will continue to be all the time this lynch mob frenzy goes on killing animals.  You are not worthy of being an EU member state – you belong in the dark ages.

The EU should act; but what do we get ? – no action from a useless EU Commission and Parliament, who can do nothing because it is a national issue.  So, what do we require MEPs and the European Parliament for if they do nothing ???

Maybe the EU is as corrupt as the Romanian government – pockets lined with gold but in the way of action; very little for its citizens.

Possibly the UK would do best as many UK citizens now think and pull the plug at the EU, get out and let them all continue with their self importance opinions – those who in reality do nothing. 

Where is the stray dog EU action plan for Europe ?? – exactly; nowhere – our question answered !!

DARK AGES + NO GOVERNMENT ACTION PLAN = ROMANIA

As a comment left on the site says today:

“Those people come from the dark ages of witches and killing what they do not understand,”

– and yet they are welcomed by EU politicians with open arms !

The issue of Romania’s community dogs has not ceased to divide Romanian society these days, since on the one hand there are those who want dogs to be euthanized straight away, while on the other side there are those who want a long-lasting solution.

As many as 29 senators from all Romania’s’ parliamentary parties have submitted an official notification to Romania’s Constitutional Court, deeming the Parliament’s bill on stray dogs unconstitutional. As a result, the Constitutional Court on September 25th will analyze the law on stray dogs.

The Parliament’s Chamber of Deputies, the decision-making body in this case, has voted with a vast majority in favor of the bill. We recall that recently a four-year old boy has been fatally bitten by dogs nearby one of Bucharest’s parks. The law stipulates that aggressive animals, or those that are declared fatally ill shall be euthanized straight away.

The law also grants an extension of the deadline from 7 to 14 days in the case of the dogs from a dog shelter to be claimed or adopted. If those involved fail to meet that deadline, the local authority is entitled to decide the euthanization of dogs, or it may even extend their time in the shelter, provided they have enough financial resources for the paddocks’ maintenance.

In Bucharest alone, the estimated number of stray dogs stands at 65 thousand. That is an outcome of the authorities’ lack of reaction over dozens of years. We recall that in the early 1980s Romania’s former dictator Nicolae Ceausescu ordered the demolition of a sizeable number of buildings, which is considered the starting point of the stray dogs’ plight, since in lots of neighborhoods houses were replaced by blocks of flats, which led to a growing number of stray dogs being left with no master.

Romania’s President Traian Basescu, a former mayor of Bucharest, said he would have no restraint promulgating the stray dogs’ law, in the form the Parliament had passed it. “It is just as I think things should happen. After we bring the canine population to a manageable number, we can also think of another way of dealing with the problem. But right now it is a danger for kids, for the elderly, for people in general”, President Basescu said.

Those opposing the law say they want a European solution to the problem, so that no single stray dog should be found in Romania’s streets, that can jeopardize people’s lives. At the same time, however, these people do not want Romania to be rated as a country with people with no soul. Protesters on both sides have pointed their fingers at the relevant NGOs. In recent years, those responsible with the problem of stray dogs have had hefty sums of money at their fingertips, but the results of their action in this respect are barely visible.

Meanwhile, prosecutors continue the hearings in the file that has been opened following the death of the four-year old boy. The Head of the Authority for Animals’ Monitoring and Protection, subpoenaed to the General Prosecutor’s Office announced he had increased the number of dog catchers in Bucharest. 11 crews made of at least two employees are on the ground, as compared to the number of three members of such crews so far.

23/9/13 – The situation in Romania for stray animals is dire – the following provides a link (and copied text) direct from the German organisation who have run a shelter for 13 years but who have now been given just 1 week (by the 1st of October) to find new homes for all their animals – an impossibility !

An 8 man team of dogcatchers are waiting outside of the shelter to capture and kill any animals – regardless of them being spayed or neutered.

Mayor Tudor Pendiuc is a complete and utter disgrace to the human race – he is corrupt and lining his own pockets with money given by the EU for the sterilization of animals.

Mayor Tudor Pendiuc is a disgrace to Romania, who given their animal welfare track record, we consider should not even be allowed to belong to the EU – Romania is led by corrupt officials such as Mayor Tudor Pendiuc – Romania is a disgrace to what is the EU. 

Go to the end of this post and see how Romania has ‘taken care’ of its young children over the years; the suspicious death of a child recently which has started this animal killing frenzy by the Romanian government – and yet they are doing very little to provide care for their orphans also.

In the following you will find a sample letter and many e mail addresses which we ask you to copy and send the sample letter to.

And what in reality is the EU really doing about this situation ?

– we have contacted the EU Parliament in London this morning (23/9) to find out what exactly the EU (external to Romania) is actually doing about this.  London assures us it is going to provide us with information, and so now we sit and wait to see exactly what this amounts to.

In the meantime, please click on the following link for information – we have repeated some of it below, but there is much more: You can translate using the top tab if necessary.

http://www.tierhilfe-hoffnung.com/

 

On 19.09.2013 was an official messenger of the town hall Arges Pitesti, represented by Mayor Tudor Pendiuc, pass the following letter our shelter line Ana-Maria Voicu:

The undersigned, Mayor Tudor Pendiuc, asks us in writing, the contract on 01.05.2013 taken by our Administration municipal shelter (300 meters next to our existing thirteen years Smeura) to vacate until the 01.10.2013!

Despite the current legal situation, which is currently being examined by the Constitutional Court that the killing of tens of thousands, of defenseless Romanian street dogs should be legalized, Mayor Tudor Pendiuc plans to 01.10.2013 in Pitesti and county Arges an eight-person dog catcher team in two vehicles through the streets Pitestis send to every street dog – whether spayed or neutered – capture to host in his “shelter” and after 14 days ‘lull’.

But the reality is clearly cruel, brutal and sadistic look: in the urban shelter against the Smeura to be killed by freezing Mayor Tudor Pendiuc!

THAT WE DO NOT ALLOW:

Dear friends, dear Sponsors Tierhilfe Hope eV

Most of you know our work since the very beginning, therefore, for thirteen years, know about the progress, the troubles and hardships of the Animal Welfare Association with their hopes and their Smeura street dogs know. Please help the animals with your protest letters, please send them by fax, by mail, by mail, by SMS and, if possible by telephone in German, English or Romanian.

In this unjust, brutalized and uninhibited time, we must occur together strong, pull together and constantly protesting against the barbaric machinations of an EU country!

Animal Welfare Association shelter hope Smeura Pitesti / Romania

Referring to the terrible fatal incident of last Tuesday, in which the four-year Ionut Anghel had to lose his life, we want as patrons Tierhilfe Hope eV in our function and our thirteen years working in the caring and effective relief and solution to the stray dog ​​problem in Romania beginning our deepest sympathy condolences, and there is hardly a worse loss than losing a child!

We would not go into the dubious descriptions and reports about the events leading up and the questionable supervision of small Ionut, because it changes this tragedy never!

However, any clear-thinking people with heart and mind must be aware that the barbaric killing and capture and slaughter of the desultory already partially castrated dogs can no longer make any solution brings and also the small Ionut alive!

Rather, one should corrupt politicians, always and constantly interested in the own full pocket mayors and county deputies questions and accuse, why both EU and taxes are collected annually in vast sums the question of guilt, is proclaimed great, you take the problem in hand , we solve the problem civilized and reasonable time by “animal shelters” (= Romanian version of a barbaric killing station). Theoretical: technically correct euthanasia of a dog. Practical: beaten to death with a spade or diletantisch injected with anti-freeze to death)

But nothing is effectively nothing done, but want you can let the German animal protection organizations solve the stray dog ​​problem.

The animal protection organizations are alone, without the aid of this most disinterested criminal and ignorant rulers at the political level, not the master of disaster, because: who is doing nothing for decades, can not wait to have solved in the shortest time any grievance!

A simple calculation with sustainability and civilized Zeitgeist would be: All in Romania located ligand stray dogs around to castrate 5oo-8oo.ooo to leave them after the natural way on the road to be old without it continues to increase, 10-15 years in Romania would be freed from the street dogs!

Without massacres and barbaric killing methods without. But when the country’s government and its top politicians anew prefer every year, to invest the appropriate funds into dark channels or in their own interests, to German animal protection groups make only a drop in the said ocean, – and Ionut does not remain the only victim tangled politics of inefficient management, corruption and naked brutality against likewise also the pain and joy sentient creatures!

The Animal Welfare hopes eV derives from April 2000 on location in Pitesti, Mosoaia-Smeura, county Arges, 110 km north of Bucharest / Romania, the largest animal shelter in the world-a title which should not-but sound great reflects the indictment of a country in the EU !

Because if he was dragged from the beginning together, city councils, mayors, politicians and animal welfare organizations were already gone full effectiveness of the calculated thirteen fifteen years!

“If it is not across generations, zeitgeist accordingly and clearheaded traded, and will not be used humanely and effectively for the only solution, namely the widespread castration with registration, vaccination and written capture all stray animals, as well as a rethinking of the mentality regarding the farm dogs by their owners takes place, Romania stands with his back to the wall and shows once again that they are capable of killing other than barbaric, sadistic murder and horizon-less mindless stupidity for nothing else! “

On Tuesday, September 10, 2013 was negotiated in Bucharest in front of the Parliament, and enacted the killing Act 2012 passed again, a clear decision of the current situation is to 06 October 2013 to expect!

In addition to demonstrations, educational work among the population and also in schools, we save pursued dogs throughout the county Arges, castrate up to 52 dogs a day to complete castration contracts with uncooperative mayors of smaller towns and larger cities and are as effective and well in our work Continue as possible.

The population is currently in a panic situation! To perfusion with diesel and then lighting a frightened adult dog in the city center there was already so far! Before the shelter since last Tuesday Smeura were 756  dogs exposed or exposed in the forest before our Smeura.

“Animal welfare concerns us all”!!

The Animal Welfare Association is hoping with its currently just 4ooo dogs on location in Romania and asks for your help in the form of letters of protest, education, and donations to further activity!

On September 10, 2013 was set at temporary injunction that Romania’s stray dogs can be killed. Please help urgently to stop this massacre by your letter of protest.

On 06 October is a further vote or the final legislation will be announced in writing by the Constitutional Court in Bucharest. The current hour, the Romanian population is due to expire manipulated media influences and not reflected sense to no empathy in the position and in a kind of murder.

Within Romania killing the dog has now become a national sport of different people who are currently beyond the cruelty done to the dogs any ideas!

We are currently using two vehicles traveling around the clock to try to solve conflicts within the population, catch dogs and give them an extra in our Smeura, we also castrate without interruption!

Why not recognize Romania’s politicians that only bring the widespread neutering a sustainable and effective solution!

Romania guilty 

*** Sample Letter ***

(send to the block e mail addresses provided in the Block listing provided above):

 

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 did has been Conducted in Romania for 20 years and did 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 Implements again did a method has proven over the world to be failed, expensive, but immoral as well, shameful.

We do not understand why, despite all the evidence:

  • the benefits of dog sterilization
  • the results Obtained in Oradea, where, by the sterilization and return programs, the number of stray dogs Decreased from 5000 to 300
  • the outcomes of the World Health Organization’s study (under taken between 1981 and 1988) Concluding did “the euthanasia program or incarceration 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 Implements the only solution for managing the dogs, did is the sterilization and return of the gentle and healthy stray dogs, compulsorily Accompanied by the sterilization of dogs with owners did are the main source of street dogs by Abandoning mass. 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 program, the streets will never be free of dogs
We therefore remind you:

 

  • the Constitutional Court of Romania DECIDED (Decision 1/2012) did euthanasia is ILLEGAL stray dogs as a management method until all other solutions have been applied Properly, with Uniformly and responsibility by Local Authorities
  • The Lisbon Treaty (art. 13 TFEU) states did the “animals are sentient beings”
  • the European Parliament Resolution of 4 April 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 LAW OF RETURN ALL OWNED AND STRAY DOGS
Romania is Already known by animal cruelty.
, Please, be advised if did the killing of dogs starts, we will show to the Entire world the reality of the dog camp we will notify worldwide about the financial interests behind the business of killing dogs, we will withdraw any support givenName did we have 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.
