- 2004-07-18 Newsletter from Romanian shelter, sent to RescuePet. ******************** ROLDA Newsletter-July 2004 Romanian media about strays killed and �served� as food to lions at ZOO!!!! I was shocked reading in the most known local newspaper from Galatzi that dogs are killed with sticks and with others �human� methods�but this might not be any surprise for all of you,who didn�t bored to keep read my appeals in the last few years! The real shocking part is more a bad horror movie�scene than a thing that each normal human being can think of�it�s worse than a nightmare and it�s over my capacity to keep try understand humans�cruelty!!!!
In �Viata Libera� newspaper from 13/07/2004 there is a confession made by persons who assisted to this atrocious act: strays from Romanian authorities�pounds are �served� as food to wild animals from ZOO�s!!!! Wild animals are tortured often in Romanian ZOO�s,left without food ,water�without veterinary care�not to mention about particulary conditions of each habitat that are not respected and assured!
Romanian authorities found a new way of making �disappear� dogs from streets and also provide food for animals at ZOO:�Caretakers� are killing in secret dogs and than dogs�bodies are given to lions for..dinner!!! I�m going to translate small quotes from article appeared in the local newspaper: �My name is Alina Ionescu Cerei,I�m a teacher at a school from Tecuci-Galatzi county and (�)daily I�m going to put flowers at the cemetery,where all my family found the peace.Sadly,next to the Cemetery-there is local ZOO,where poor animals are kept in prison in poor conditions.In the same area,there is a small City Hall pound where few hundred dogs are kept without water and food�.Yesterday,passing near that area I�ve heard terrible sounds and when I arrived closer,I assisted at a horrific scene:four persons killing with sticks few dogs from pound �they were laughing ,saying that there is a competition-whom will kill quicklier more dogs�. One man came near me..he didn�t stopped but he said �they (dogs) are �dinner� for lions �.� It seems that this method is an old practice here because I�ve heard from others the same things but I didn�t want to believe��Caretakers� throw dead bodies in a box that was transported near the door..and when one finally saw me,he said�Hey,what�s happening�.Move!Move!!!� In Romania,neither the law neither the spirit of law regarding dogs isn�t respected�humans don�t take the responsibility for dogs living on streets..even if there are many animal�lovers in my town,for ex. How can I comment such a thing ..being not an animal�lover,but a human being who like to respect all living creatures and like to be respected(but it�s hard to have demands to be respected when humans�savage went so far!)� there is no law by my side to legally punish those criminals �.and none justice will be ever done here in animals�interest!
ROLDA contacted local authorities and they(of course!)denied all these atrocious facts,they denied that dogs are given as food to lions from ZOO!!! Still,teens witnesses can sustain the contrairly�
I daily try to SAVE lives�.sometimes,I don�t think "rationally" and I hang on any hope to fight for a very sick animal and make him healthy again..what for?! I hardly am able to put the healthy animal back on streets and I discover him dead ,hit by car,beaten by humans� The poor stray from picture is safe now�She is only a �small example �of what�s happening here daily ,she is one from many dogs are injured and hurted�for most of them,time is essential and each minute is important because it means a life saved�or not!
ROLDA is taking care of dogs with permanent handicaps,just borned puppies,dogs in temporarly need of veterinary assistance�we also are trying to assure daily basic needs for more than 1,000(!!!!)strays crowded in our town-Galatzi City Hall pounds�.1,000 dogs kept in prison in 85 kennels(2 square metters/each kennel)!!! As plans for future,we would like to buy a rescue van,to build a veterinary clinic that will offer free sterilisation programs for homeless animals,to build others ROLDA small shelters for disabled dogs in all major Romania�cities,to have a mobile sterilization clinic, to extend our educative program at national level,� Since our rescue old van is broken,our daily activity is slower than ever�.I �m asking this time YOUR support !
