Protest against the massacre of stray animals in Bulgaria |
|
The Bulgarian animal protection act came into force in January 2008 - on paper! The stray dogs are still being abused, slain and poisoned. The former isolators (death camps) are now called "animal shelters". Bulgaria has an obligation to implement its animal protection act! The stray dogs need your help - NOW, please protest! Your protests will be sent directly to the responsible politicians.  Two Bulgarian citizens witnessed a cruel massacre of animals at the Plovdiv animal camp (isolator) in Bulgaria on February 8, 2008: Two animal keepers slayed 14 stray dogs with iron bars.
Call on Attorney General Boris Velchev, the Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister Plugtschieva and Plovdiv’s Mayor Slavcho Atanossov for a humane treatment of the stray animals in Bulgaria! Click here to protest! |

The city of Plovdiv and its culture of killing |
|
 Plovdiv is Bulgaria’s second largest city, located in the central southern part of the country. With eight thousand years of history, it is among the oldest cities in Europe. Plovdiv is regarded to be the cultural metropolis of the country. This article describes a different culture of this city – a culture of killing.
"They throw living dogs into the incinerators" "There are virtually no stray animals in Plovdiv", says Dimitur Georgiev, chairman of Plovdiv's society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. "We insist on a humane solution of the problem. The conditions in the isolators are cruel. Former employees of the combustion facilities have horrible stories to tell. Some of the dogs wake up after anaesthesia and are regardlessly thrown into the flames of the furnace alive. In comparison with the west we are a hundred years behind, but intellectually it adds up to a thousand years." |
