THE ROMANIAN CONSTITUTIONAL COURT BLOCKS THE KILL-STRAYS LAW
No comments · Posted by Sara in NEWS
With a real dramatic turn of events today, the Romanian Constitutional Court has approved the observations on the unconstitutionality of the kill-stray law and it has been returned to parliament demanding revision; the appeal to the Constitutional Court was made by about ten members of the Romanian parliament belonging to the opposition (PNL and PSD) and from thousands of defenders of animal rights who have mobilized against the measure both at the national as well as international level.
This is a severe defeat for the President Traian Basescu and the loyal Minister Elena Udrea, the major supporters of a law that could have potentially allowed the mayors to decide freely the fate of strays. The other big defeat is the political-economic lobby connected to the majority party, not uniquely though, who with the management of strays always do a roaring trade. Despite hundreds of Romanian small towns, the slaughter of those poor strays continues regardless of the law in force. The decision of the constitutional court represents a precedent of strategic importance that can no longer be ignored by the commissions that will regain control of the situation. For years animal activist associations, with Save the Dogs in the forefront have asked for a plan of prevention and fight against straying which includes the creation of a register for dogs and the mandatory sterilization of stray dogs under ownership, however, their requests have always been ignored. It is highly likely that from tomorrow, the Romanian government must take all the above-mentioned into account before re-presenting, like countless times before, the provision in parliament.
