Ask the Romanian Government and Parliament to stop killing stray dogs.

Urged this week by President Basescu to legalize mass killing of all stray dogs, it is expected that the Romanian Government and Parliament will take a quick emotional and tragic decision on September 10th. The demand of the President comes after recent tragic casualities. In the meantime animal haters have started mass violence and killing of stray dogs even in Bucharest, the capital of Romania. Authorities are tolerating these actions. Stray dogs are part of the urban and rural Romanian landscape since decades. Coexistence was possible so far. Incidents unfortunately occur due to lack of public awareness and proper management of the situation by the local authorities. Tens of thousand of dogs might be killed in the upcoming days and months to follow the wish of the country leaders and animal haters. However this emotional and unethical decision has nothing to do with the real solution to manage the situation in a humane way. All we have to do is to think outside the box and choose one of the many solutions that open minded people might offer. FOUR PAWS has one and is inviting you to share is with the decision makers from Romania.

5000 people in Cluj and at least 10000 more across the country protested yesterday againg cyanide mining in Rosia Montana. The press is covering it up, pretending like nothing is going on.

The project, which aims to use cyanide to mine 314 tonnes of gold and 1,500 tonnes of silver, has drawn fierce opposition from civic rights groups and environmentalists, who say it would destroy ancient Roman gold mines and villages.

It is led by Rosia Montana Gold Corporation, majority-owned by Canada’s Gabriel Resources Ltd with the Romanian government holding roughly 20 percent.

The project has been valued at $7.5 billion based on a 2007 study that used an average price of $900 per ounce of gold, with Romania estimated to get about 75 percent of the benefits in taxes, royalties, dividends and jobs.

Gold currently trades around $1,390 per ounce.

Earlier this week the government approved a draft law enabling Gabriel to open the mine after securing a bigger stake in the project, which has been awaiting a green light for 14 years. Parliament is expected to vote on the law this month.

In the capital Bucharest, up to 3,000 protesters marched towards the government headquarters from University Square, the scene of violent anti-austerity protests early last year that toppled a previous government.”

Please reblog! If the law is approved, it will be catastrophic to the environment! Have we learned nothing so far? Haven't we destroyed enough of this planet?
