THE HORROR THAT HAS BEFALLEN

ON THE ROMANIAN ZOOS

HUNDREDS OF ANIMALS IN ROMANIA'S 35 OR MORE ZOOS ARE SLATED FOR DEATH, SIMPLY BECAUSE THE ZOOS DO NOT MEET EU STANDARDS.   BEARS, LIONS, HORSES, CANINES AND ALL OTHER SPECIES' LIVES ARE AT STAKE

AT LEAST 35 OR MORE ZOOS IN ROMANIA THAT ARE AT RISK BECAUSE THEY DO NOT MEET EUROPEAN UNION STANDARDS

THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF ANIMALS DESTINED TO DIE; NOT JUST ONE BEAR, TWO HORSES AND A COUPLE OF LIONS. 

 

TWO BEAUTIFUL HORSES AND TWO MAGNIFICENT LIONS

THE FOLLOWING IS AN E-MAIL RECEIVED ABOUT THE ZOO:

 
 
I was hoping if you could help in anyway to spread the word about the catastrophic situation in Romania.

Animals in 35 of their zoos are destined to be killed as their zoos don't meet EU standards. This is so heartbreaking to me that I created a petition urging the EU to help:

 
 
I can not believe there is almost no media coverage on this! Some of the zoos are already closed. The animals are scheduled to die by October, if they dont starve to death first.  I just created the petition 4 days ago and right now it has 865 signatures. My goal is 5,000 which is twice the average goal; but for the EU, I can't do any less. Can you help promote the poor animals' plight and my petition? I especially need signatures from Europe as theirs weight more. There needs to be public outcry and with no media coverage, it's impossible.
 
I am including more information about the petition and the Romanian zoo's story at the end of this message. Please let me know if you can help in anyway. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you.
 
Sincerely,
 
Nadia Donato

PETITION LETTER (What you are signing):
We the undersigned urge the European Parliament to help the zoo animals in Romania.
 
While we applaud the EU for having proper animal welfare guidelines, our plea is to give mercy and compassion to the animals that are now facing slaughter due to Romania's deplorable zoo conditions that are unable to meet EU's standards. Surely for a wealthy union of (supposedly) civilized nations, funds can be allocated to rescue these poor animals.
This is no longer a problem for Romania alone. When you allowed her to become a member of the European Union without stipulations, Romania's problems become the EU's duty to fix as well. From her animal welfare standards (or lack thereof) to her horrific orphanages, the union must do everything in its power to help save the lives of the innocent and helpless of Romania.
 
We only hope that in the future, candidate countries for EU membership will have to meet standards setforth by the union PRIOR to being accepted. Countries like Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina have no regard for animal welfare. They also have decrepit zoos and conduct state-run-massacres of strays instead of implementing TNR (trap/neuter/release) and other humane programs. There must be stipulations prior to EU acceptance to break this vicious cycle of further victimizing the helpless victims.
 
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." -Mahatma Ghandi.
 
We only speak for those poor creatures that can not. These animals did nothing wrong but to be born. They have been subjected to abuse and neglect all their lives. They deserve to thrive and live in peace; not punished for the cruelty and ignorance of their captors. PLEASE HELP THEM!!!
 
Sincerely, on behalf of the animals,
The undersigned
