They actually listened and the killing finally stopped. I am sitting here staring at the screen and shaking because it just feels so unreal that we pushed back against all that cruelty and won. We really need to keep our eyes open now to make sure they stick to this …

STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY AND ABUSES IN ROMANIA! May 26th.2004:Romanian authorities voted an animal protection law reffering only about wild animals and animals with owners...authorities said that there will be ANOTHER LAW for strays exclusively... This discrimination cannot have any logical reason but the idea of mass-extermination of homeless animals,that Romanian authorities are applying more or less under cover since 1998. Currently, there is a law regarding strays\'administration, that has as consequences the \"conviction\" of dogs without owners to a sure, unfair death! Local authorities are administrating few local shelters all over Romania, in which dog catchers(uneducated peoples,without any compassion) are working to kill innocent dogs with a cruelty that is hard to be described. They did it before, and nothing will stop them from applying barbarian and \"free\" euthanasia methods: killing with sticks and rocks, torturing animals, injecting poison into animals\' hearts, hanging dogs,shooting dogs... Dogs from the City Hall pounds are living in tragic conditions, without food and medical assistance assured. Those dogs are sentenced to live in prison all their lives, in overpopulated local shelters - if they are \"lucky\" enough not to be killed !!! Why can anyone prevent or stop those atrocities to happen!Lack of a well-edited law for animals\' protection (with big penalties for those who broke the law and for those who abuse an animal in any way), no animal\'lover from Romania can protect from a legal standpoint any abused animal, even if the justice is almost every time on our furry friends\' side! All slaughters that are taking place in Romania broke many national and international laws (The Universal Declaration of Animal Rights, The International Animal Protection Regulations, The Humans Rights,...), and without constant international pressure, nothing will be changed here for animals! ***************************************************** PLEASE, ALSO SEND PROTEST LETTERS TO ROMANIAN AUTHORITIES TO MODIFIE IMMEDIATELY THE LAW FOR ANIMALS\' PROTECTION IN ROMANIA AT EU STANDARDS! Sample of protest letter: \"Dear Sir, I was recently been made aware of horrendous massacres of street dogs that continues to take place throughout Romania in an attempt to

I was just looking at the count and we are seriously creeping up on 5,000 which feels huge but also just the start of this mountain. If everyone who sees this could ping a few people right now we might actually hit the milestone before I have to go deal with my own dogs who are currently losing their minds at the postman again.

I just saw the counter roll over to one thousand and honestly my hands are shaking a little bit typing this out because I truly did not think this would reach so many people who actually care about these poor dogs. It is hard to keep from crying thinking about those pounds and the people doing those horrible things but knowing you all are with me makes the weight feel a tiny bit lighter.

Come on Romania, catch up with the rest of the world. You are better than this. This is barbaric and cruel. Be kind and gentle to those that cannot speak for themselves. Let the world see how good you can be. Set a precedent for other countries.

Find a solution, not an easy way out for sadistic bloodthirsty murderers to glorify their sadist nature.

If they think those stray dogs are wild they all need mirrors to take a look at themselves... they're monsters for what they are doing to these dogs and they are teaching this to their children also...bravo on the education you morons.

I want this terrible threat of killing stray dogs and turn this species into an endangered one to stop. I feel abused in my feelings and in ;my everyday life. I want these dogs run free, get adopted, be under the community care....
