No Funding to Dog Killers in the European Union - The Petition Site

  • Target: President of the European Parliment, Jerzy Buzek
  • Sponsored by: Animal Advocates

Romania is part of the European Union but the Romanian Government does not abide by European Union Animal Welfare law/regulations yet it is still being allowed to collect billions of euros from other EU taxpayers.

Killing millions of stray dogs in Romania benefits both the Romanian Government and the thugs that are labelled Animal Control.

For a country to be seen fit to join the EU they have to prove that they are managing employment levels, and on paper these dog killers are a positive statistic, because they are classed as employed.

We ask that you remove Romania from the European Union and stop all funding until they abide by EU Animal Welfare laws and regulations.

EUROPE HAS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MILLIONS OF STREET ANIMALS!

EUROPA MUSS DIE POLITISCHE VERANTWORTUNG FÜR MILLIONEN STRAßENTIERE ÜBERNEHMEN

Right in the middle of Europe, millions of street animals are dying year in year out: in killing camps who call themselves animal shelters, or in “freedom” – of hunger, cold, diseases, poison.

Granted, you’ll find local laws forbidding the above – but often enough neither local authorities nor elements of the executive authorities do comply with the laws.

Even the most barbarian cruelties to animals go without prosecution because it is not avenged, as a rule.

On December 1st, 2009 the treaty of Lisbon (so-called EU reformation treaty) became effective.
The major agreement states that the Union and its member states have to take account of the well-being of the animals as feeling beings. But the ratification of this treaty does not automatically imply the end of the brute widespread deaths.

Therefore necessarily have to follow the words and deeds:


Petition

The European Commission and the Parliament have to enact a law which guarantees the animals right of living to their needs.

Thus we call for:

• Prohibition of installation and preservation of killing stations – whatever camouflage name they are given
• Prohibition of any killing of street animals which is not medically indicated – in case of medical indication
the use of painless euthanasia means
• Implementation of binding governmental vaccination and castration routines
• Implementation of (minimum) standards for animal shelters
• Review of hunting laws and regulations in being which allow for careless killing of pets and street animals
• Prohibition of abuse of street animals for laboratory experiments
• Implementation of laws for pet breeding and restrictions for commercial pet breeding
• Implementation of classes in animal protection in schools



Please forward this petition to continue as many friends and acquaintances and support our cause with your signature!
We will forward your signature to the Petition Committee of the European Community.

Urge the European Commission to suspend the export of animals to Turkey - The Petition Site

Urge the European Commission to suspend the export of animals to Turkey - The Petition Site

An investigation by Compassion and two other animal welfare groups has unearthed the terrible reality of the live transport trade between some EU states and Turkey. The investigation by Eyes on Animals, the Animal Welfare Foundation and Compassion in World Farming, looked into the export of bulls, pregnant heifers and sheep from a number of EU Member States to Turkey. The animals had come from Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece and Latvia with the distances travelled as far as 2,200km in some cases. Forty four animal transports were checked at the border between Bulgaria and Turkey and extreme welfare problems leading to severe animal suffering were discovered.

We are calling for the European Commission to suspend the export of animals to Turkey as a matter of urgency in order to prevent further suffering by EU animals.

This inhumane and unnecessary trade should be brought to an end altogether.

If you want send a message to the Commissioner:

Commissioner for Health and Consumers

Commissioner John Dalli

To free Russia's Olympic bear and other aniamls kept caged on parked bus - The Petition Site





  • Target: Prime Minister of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin
  • Sponsored by: Rachelle VanDerWyst

(AP) ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — For two years, a 36-year-old bear who performed during the 1980 Moscow Olympics has been kept with other retired circus animals in a rusty old bus parked on the outskirts of St. Petersburg.

Animal rights activists say they receive only minimal care in their cramped and stinking cages.

Katya the bear was a longtime star of the Big St. Petersburg State Circus on Fontanka, where night after night she and another bear delighted children by riding motorcycles around the ring.

During the 1980 Summer Games, the bears were applauded by thousands at a ceremony opening the football competition in St. Petersburg, then called Leningrad. Katya also performed in two movies released in the 1980s.

Since her retirement in 2009, Katya and the painted bus on which she once toured with the circus have not left a parking lot near a busy highway. The aging bear spends the long hours jumping up and down in her cage and trying to crack the rusty metal railings with her chipped and yellowed teeth.

Dozens of other retired circus animals also live in the smelly cages placed inside the bus and a minivan parked nearby.

Some occasionally are taken out to accompany photographers to downtown St. Petersburg to have their pictures taken with children and tourists. Others never get washed or examined by veterinarians, animal rights activists say.

"They can't move normally and start going crazy," Zoya Afanasyeva of the Vita animal rights group said as she stood by Katya's sweltering bus on a hot summer day.

"Apparently they are being taken care of, but not more often than once a day, and this care is perfunctory because the smell here in the parking lot is unbearable," Afanasyeva said.

Klava the bear shares a small cage with Pasha the boar. Birds with atrophied muscles live next to cats that don't meow and stare straight ahead with pus-covered eyes.

Circus director Viktor Savrasov said the animals are cared for and Katya's fate would have been worse if her trainer had agreed to have the bear put to sleep.

"Whatever happened, she did not leave her," he said of retired trainer Natalya Arkhipova, who still visits Katya to feed her.

Animal rights activists have long urged Russia's government to strengthen animal protection laws.
