We vote »Yes« for stray animals!
Dear friends,
In Europe stray dogs and cats suffer tremendous torments each day — they are hunted and maltreated, beaten up and poisoned; they are caught and kept in so-called »animal shelters« that provide no escape: in these camps thousands of stray animals are penned up to meet a cruel death.
Despite the existence of animal protection laws stray animals have become a questionable source of income in many European countries: their capture, custody and killing offer good business opportunities by involving public money originally designated to improve the stray animals situation.
EU parliamentarians Alain Hutchinson, David Hammerstein und Neil Parish have written a declaration on the welfare of pets and stray animals (PDF).
You can read it here:
English
Español
Italiano
The declaration claims hard punishment for abandoning and maltreating pets and stray animals. EU Member States are requested to commit themselves to regulate the overpopulation of stray animals and to lay sterilization and vaccination down in law and to implement them accordingly.
A vote on this declaration will be held in EU parliament shortly — the time limit to sign this declaration is May 7th, 2009.
It is crucial that a majority of the EU parliamentarians’ votes are obtained for this declaration. Please support this initiative by asking EU parliamentarians to sign with this online petition.
