Liebe Freunde,
dieses Schreiben vom rumänischen Aussenministerium
möchte ich Ihnen nicht vorenthalten. Wahrscheinlich haben Sie das gleiche
erhalten!?
Die Argumente sind äusserst mager, rechtfertigen
keinesfalls BASESCUs Massaker! Werde dennoch antworten, Sie auch?
Herzliche Grüsse!

Subject: Re: Canocide in Bucharest
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania
informs you that:
- The issue of the street dogs in Romania
is extremely current and keeps busy the top of the agenda of the Romanian
authorities. The implementation of the solutions proposed by the Bucharest
City Hall is submitted to systematic consultations between the authorities
and the animal protection associations. The President and the Prime Minister
of Romania expressed their concern for an effective solution to the controversial
problem of the street dogs and they called for the close observation of
the international regarding the protection of the animals.
- Bucharest City Hall initiated a program
that offers viable solutions for the delicate issue of the street dogs,
only after preliminary consultations with the citizens and the animal protection
associations.
- In Western countries, street dogs are
equally captured, disinfected and taken care of over a certain period; afterwards,
unless the animals are adopted, they are submitted for euthanasia. In Bucharest,
as a consequence of chaotic demolition of houses and long term lack of resources
for handling this problem, there are over 200,000 street dogs, suffering
from diseases that can jeopardize the health and security of the population
through bites. “We all love animals, but when we see children bitten, we
have to react and to stop this situation, of course, by fully respecting
the international standards in this sense.” said Mr. Traian B?sescu, the
Mayor of Bucharest in an interview for the edition of 25 August 2000 of
the Financial Journal. 30,000 people were treated for bites from street
dogs only in 1999.
- Protecting these animals does not mean
to let them again on the streets, where they can be beaten or hit by cars.
The program initiated by the Bucharest City Hall supports the adoption of
the disinfected dogs, while only old and aggressive animals are submitted
to euthanasia in order to preserve the public health.
Romanian authorities welcomes proposals coming
from both Romanian and foreign associations and individuals regarding assistance
programs and funds meant to protect and solve the problem of street dogs. |
