Campaign for stray animals in Munich |
|
|
|
 In a majority of European countries there are laws which prohibit the targeted killing of stray animals. Nevertheless, there are millions of stray animals dying in death camps – due to hunger, cold, diseases or that are poisoned to death, because compliance with these laws can not be guaranteed.
The association “Ärzte für Tiere” e.V. wants the EU-Commission and the corresponding Parliament to legislate mandatory statutory provisions, that would give all stray animals the right to live an animal-friendly life.
Every single signature counts.

Animal protection and arbitrariness in Bulgaria |
|
|
 Bulgaria, Plovdiv: Early October 2011, state prosecutor Rosen K. shot stray cats from his balcony. The reason: He does not like stray cats.
Ivan Balinski, a courageous citizen, reported him to the police. Ivan Balinski is a quiet and low-keyed person, he is no “activist”, but a person with an upright walk.
Thereupon, Balinski was confined to a psychiatric hospital. There, psychotropic drugs were administered to him in order to prevent him from testifying against the prosecutor. On the 18th of October, Balinski was set free again.
Plovdiv is deemed to be the cultural centre of Bulgaria.

"Tidy streets" for the European Football Championship 2012 in the Ukraine: Stray dogs and cats are burnt alive. |
|
|
 Ukraine in the year 2011: In the last few months there have been mobile crematoria driving around in the streets of Kiev and other districts. The driver and his crews’ duty is to kill stray dogs and cats. Occasionally, the animals are burnt alive in these mobile crematoria, where they perish with inexpressible pain. The background of this cruel "cleanup policy" is the European Football Championship 2012 in the Ukraine: The masses of expected foreign visitors shall not be confronted with stray animals. That is the reason why defenseless animals are beaten to death, poisoned, or burnt alive in these mobile crematoria. |

A first step towards a European Animal Welfare Act |
|
|
|
 The „written declaration“ (PDF 123 KB) had been assigned by four EU-parliamentarians and was accepted with a majority of votes on the 13 th of October 2011. 400 of the EU-representatives voted in favour of the declaration. This means that the EU parliament has to address this issue. It remains to be seen if a corresponding draft bill is going to be consigned. After all, this development can be judged as a first and hopeful step towards a European Animal Welfare Act. me / nn |

Vigil in front of the Berlin Olympic Stadium |
|
|
|
 On the 22nd September we - “Ärzte für Tiere“– joined a vigil in front of the Berlin Olympic Stadium. The occasion was Pope Benedict giving a sermon there and our action was aimed at the stance of the Catholic Church towards animals.
See video here
Pope Benedict II, then as Cardinal Ratzinger, wrote a new catechism, according to which animals are subjected to man. They may and should be exploited for man’s benefit: for food, clothing, work and leisure, even for medical experiments, an area already sanctified by Pope John Paul II. Animals – according to this thesis – should not suffer unnecessarily, but no money should be spent on them and no affection or love given, which, to follow the Church’s teachings, should only be reserved for human beings.

The gouvernment of Romania puts its citizens under massive pressure to gain votes for mass killings of stray dogs. The used methods are doubtful and full of disinformation.
