ACTION ALERT - Mayor of Targoviste planning horrific massacre of strays under false pretence

It has been learned that the Mayor of Targoviste is horrifically planning to massacre thousands of strays in his region under the pretence that they have rabies. 

He is expecting the Romanian and International community to believe his claims despite the fact that he provides no scientific proof to back up his claims and the fact that in 2008 he received a huge influx of cash to deal with this alleged problem back then. Also that the order 28/03/2008 states that all animals must be supervised and only those who are proven to have Rabies are to be humanely euthanised. No where in this order does it state this gives free range to kill all of the animals under the mayoral supervision!

Taking into consideration the above facts,  it is clearly obvious that the mayor is being wholly untruthful and we would suggest that it is more likely he is looking towards the thousands of euros this massacre will generate for his coffers when he invoices the Romanian Government for each stray that is caught, detained,killed and then incinerated.

Before Mr Tolea goes ahead with his vile and inexcusable plan we would suggest that he take into account the following.

1) Already Romania Government is fast becoming one of the most hated in Europe with their vile and disgusting mistreatment of animals in their country. 

2) Anything that affects public opinion will also affect businesses decisions to trade in such a country.

3) Tourism is already on the decline not because of the number of strays but the way the authorities in Romania treat them

4) The Romanian government both nationally and regionally is officially under investigation by the the European Commission (Triggered by Petition No. 0595/2011 lodged by Kendra Pinder of Romania Animal Aid) for mismanagement of funds in regards to the strays of Romania. If the mayor continues with his proposal and highlights his failure to deal with the supposed rabies outbreak in 2008 despite being allocated a huge influx of money. The mayor as will his staff , will come under scrutiny by the commission. This in itself could trigger economic sanctions being imposed which will in the long run deprive the mayor of much more than he would hope to gain by the horrific slaughter planned.

Please act now sending emails to the people/addresses below, and remind the mayor of the above points and also that he (as well as the Romanian Government) is on very unstable ground at the moment with the public, the international community and now the European Commission. That this proposed unfounded massacre of the strays will only highlight how inapt he is to govern the region of Targoviste and provide further proof to the EU Commission that the basis of Petition No. 0595/2011 is wholly correct and by this measure economic sanctions will not only be applied to his region but the Romanian government as well.

TAKE ACTION NOW

Danube Delta Horses Rescued - Now they need your help

The early hours of this morning, I sat on my laptop along with others following the updates of the remaining horses already brusied,beaten,tortured and foals that had lost their mothers thanks to the previous days slaughter, as we heard that a convoy of 11 cars were following a truck destined  for the slaughter house, a slaughter house that the Romanian Government stated the remaining horses would not be going to.

For 24 hours the convoy followed the truck, not once did it stop to allow the animals to feed or be waterd. The truck legally could hold 20 horses,in this truck were 30+ horses already suffering with broken limbs and unimaginable injuries sustained by the previous days abuse at the hands of the Romanian Government.

Eventually as the the truck was stopped by the police, the full horror of what was happening in the compartments became obvious...The horses unable to move,had been trampled on, litterally standing in pools of their own blood. They were dehydrated,starving and severely injured. Two horses had died during the transit and were laying under the others hooves.

At this moment in time, the horses are now desperate for treatment. The groups who helped stop the truck have found some land,and the horses are being taken care of as much as these groups can. But they need you help,they need your money,every penny counts,they need you to contact local animal supplies and see if they will dontate medical items and mill supplements for the foals.

A.F.R.A Team visiting Romania end of June 2011

The team are due to leave for Romania the end of June 2011. Because of the lack of attention the UK and other countries media has taken in the plight of Romanian animals, we are taking it upon ourselves to document our week long trip, and will be visiting the shelters and we hope spending the day with the Animal Police (still to be confirmed) The rest of Europe really needs to see what is happening over there, the corruption, the cruelty and the endless suffering of animals within Romanias borders.


Once filming has been done and we return back to the UK, we will be uploading an hour long documentary style programme that will hopefully once and for all prove to the world that for animals in Romania, it is a living hell.
