Subject: URGENT: SAMPLE LETTER: HELP is desperately needed to save
dogs!
UPDATE: It seems the President of Romania disabled his email address,
but I was lucky to find another. Please resend your emails to all the
address's below, using the new address for the President, which is
below, under his contact info., in place of the old one. If you can
send more than once, please do. I believe the dogs in the shelter
will be slaughtered Mon. March 8.
This is an urgent request for help, to save the dogs in the town of
Campina, Romania. They are running out of time. The Town's officials
have contracted with a very cruel dog catching org., to collect all
the dogs in the town and put them in a sub standard shelter, where
the cruelty will continue for 14 days, then the dogs will be killed
in an inhumane manner. Please take a moment to check out the web site
of PAWS-Holland, which exposes the very cruel way the dogs were
handled by the dog catchers:
http://www.pawsholland.nl/verschrikkingen_campina.htm
Be sure to scroll down the page a little, where you will find
pictures and an explanation in English.
Below is all contact info. and a sample letter. Please try writing
your own letter using the sample as a guide, or change the sample
letter a little. If that is completely impossible you may use the
sample as is. Just make sure your letter is respectful and polite.
First and foremost, our objective to to save those animals, not make
the government officials angry.
Please send those letters as soon as possible.
*****Contact Information*****
If any of the email addresses are missing the last part, please email
me at:
<r.e.fazio@ worldnet.att.net> (remove the space after the @ sign) and
I will send them to you.

*********Sample letter*********
Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to you on behalf of the people and dogs of the town of
Campina. It has come to the attention of the compassionate citizens
of the world, that the officials in the City Hall of Campina have
hired a firm in Ploiesti, to catch the dogs and bring them to the
shelter in Bucov, where they will remain for 14 days, at which time
they will be killed in an inhumane manner. The dog-catchers are very
cruel in their handling of the dogs; some dogs have died before they
even reach the shelter and the conditions at the shelter are
inadequate and contribute to the cruelty of those animals. The dog
catchers are escorted by soldiers, to intimidate the people and make
sure they do not try to stop the dog catchers from taking the
innocent, defenseless animals away. As they took the dogs, they left
children crying and adults upset and angry. The residents of Campina,
adults and children alike, love those dogs. They feed and care for
them. In return, the dogs provide protection against criminal
activity in the neighborhoods.
The Foundation for the Protection of Street Dogs in Campina caught,
neutered, vaccinated and freed the dogs back into their territories,
which guarantees that those dogs will not multiply, or contract any
canine diseases! Upstanding, modern, moral communities around the
world, use this type of program (trap, neuter, release) to cut down
on the overpopulation of homeless animals. They do not catch and
kill! If a dog becomes a problem in the town of Campina, the people
call the FPCC, which sends someone out to get the dog and bring it to
the shelter, where it will live and be taken care of for the rest of
its life. As you can see FPCC has been invaluable to the town of
Campina, although, the only value the Mayor of Campina sees in the
FPCC, is the funding they brought in to the City Hall from kind,
generous people in other countries. Now the Mayor sees no further use
for the shelter, because he has contracted with a cruel, immoral
organization of dog catchers and wants the ground, which the FPCC
shelter operates on, back. The Mayor has given this shelter 15 days
to clear off the land. What exactly are those people who operate the
shelter to do? What will they do with the dogs that they care for?
We understand that it is a business for Romanian authorities to
accept help from and agree to collaborate with animal lovers from
abroad, until the money stops flowing so freely, then they revert to
cruelty. There is no excuse for the inhumane, cruel way those dogs
and people are being treated.
We are aware that Romania is in the process of joining NATO and the
European Union. The following was found on the Romanian government's
web site;
Quote: "The support of the civil society has had an extremely
important role in the process of preparing Romania's integration into
NATO. Accession to NATO also implies the accession of all Romanian
citizens to a community of values and action.
The civil society can bring its valuable contributions during the
accession talks and the process of ratification of the accession
protocols. The civil society can also contribute to the promotion of
Romania's image abroad and increase Romania's prestige as NATO
member."
Yes, that statement is very true. Unfortunately, the way the animals
and citizens are treated in the entire country of Romania, leaves
little doubt in the minds of the rest of the world, that the Romanian
government officials, have no values or morals. As far as image is
concerned, the image of animals and people, especially the children
suffering, is what the world will remember! This is not the first
time the world has heard about and seen pictures of the cruelty
perpetrated on animals in Romania. A society is judged by the way it
treats those who can not defend themselves. Romania's image is very
bleak!
We would like to see the dog catching ended and all the animals that
have already been caught, returned to the people who love them. The
entire operation must be overseen by a representative of FPCC, to
make sure those animals are not handled cruelly or killed while in
transport. Those dogs should not be killed, but freed to live out
their lives loving and being loved by the citizens of Campina and the
FPCC shelter should remain where they are, so they can continue to
help the animals.
If we hear that this atrocity hasn't ended and the dogs aren't being
returned to the areas where they were so brutally taken from, are
being killed, and the FPCC is being forced off of the land where they
operate, we will have no recourse but to write to the European Union
and NATO officials to alert them of the acts of deceit, greed and
barbarism being committed against animals and people in Romania. If
you think this behavior won't matter, please read the requirements of
becoming a member of both societies. Citizens of all NATO and EU
countries will ask that Romania not be accepted into their society.
We will make sure that word of this inhumanity spreads through every
country and ask the world to boycott everything Romanian, including
the tourism trade.
The brutal treatment of animals in Romania must end! Animal cruelty
laws need to be instituted and enforced, if the image of your country
is to change for the better.
I suggest you take a look at the pictures, which are posted on the
internet, of the cruel handling of the animals by the dog catchers
and quickly change that image to one of a caring, humane country!
The pictures are posted at:
http://www.pawsholland.nl/verschrikkingen_campina.htm
The world is waiting to see if you do the right thing.
Thank you for your time and anticipated co-operation.
Sincerely,
Your name, address and country

In today's Guardian Travel supplement, Bob Mills states that "none of
the Faroese are brutal whale killers - the whale hunt is an
essential bonding element in Faroese life, and pilot whale tastes
fantastic".
