THE MASS MURDER IN CALARASI STARTS AGAIN, LET’S RAISE OUR VOICE!
32 Comments · Posted by Info in March 2010

As expected, STD has left the shelter in Calarasi at the beginning of December and, as soon as the snow has melted down, the Municipality has officially asked to the society of Mr. Plesca (a “business man” of the city) to comb the city streets. Since February 22 we receive emails from desperate citizens, who tell us about terrible scenes: strangled dogs, dogs with their eyes out of the orbits, animals suffocated in front of people. The same shocking images shot in 2003 and included in our TV spot last year.
A woman, who was trying to rescue a little dog that had been sterilized by STD in the past, told to have been hit by a dogcatcher. Obviously, the “dirty job” is delegated to ignorant and needy people, who walk around in the city quarters (escorted by the local police) with sticks and laces. Animals who survive to the captures are brought to the shelter in Dalga, where some witnesses talk about agonizing dogs, dying of starvation and of thirst. Officially, the society should release sterilized dogs in the territory, but citizens assure that no dogs came back. Yesterday, Laurentiu Vasilescu, the director of STD Romania, tried to enter the shelter but the access has been denied.
Even if STD has decided to not intervene anymore in a direct way in the city, we cannot ignore this umpteenth tragedy. We ask our supporters all over Europe to send protest emails to the enclosed addresses, using the text that you can find here. The letter can be sent also by fax to the numbers reported in it. STD will inform the Italian Embassy and Rumanian medias (take a look at the press release which has been issued), hoping that the mayor Nicolae Dragu will stop the captures and will start with a civil plan of sterilization.
Dogs waiting to die, at the Dalga killing pound. STD rescued only 2 small sizes: unfortunately adoptions abroad have been quite slow.
