From Care2 Petition Site

Romania has a massive stray dog problem. Nobody’s disputing that. But the country’s current plan, which is to slaughter the thousands of dogs by force, is unnecessarily expensive, ineffective, and cruel.

Dog catchers in the country have a reputation for notorious abuse. Their methods of killing often involve poisoning, beating or slowly starving the dogs to death.

And as if that weren’t bad enough, this proposed “solution” might not even work. Unless the country concentrates on humanely spaying and neutering the animials, in a few years, the population might be right back up to where it is today.

Romania must not subject their stray dog population to this much pain and suffering. Tell them to stop the stray dog cull immediately!

Overview petition

Three Million stray dogs in Romanian dogs face death as a form of population control while it is more humane, and economically logical, to spay and neuter the animals.

One unspayed female dog, her mate and their offspring can produce up to 67,000 dogs in only 6 years.

The price to spay one female dog certainly outweighs the price to hire a dog-catcher to catch 67,000, and euthanize them.

We ask Romania to find humane and economically sound solutions and stop the senseless mass killing of dogs.
