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.

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

Lions to Die in Sub-Standard Romanian Zoos: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/07/30/wzoo130.xml MEP APPEALS FOR EU CASH TO SAVE ZOO ANIMALS http://www.carolinelucasmep.org.uk/news/Zoos_190107.htm The Lion's Roar- Buhusi Zoo campaign site http://www.thelionsroar.us/ 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
