The Brutal Massacre of Romanian dogs continues... What

did we expect from Basescu ?

 

Spring-Summer 2001

Are our memories so short? Have

we forgotten the Bucharest dogs? No! Never!

 

Brigitte Bardot left Romania having

spent a fortune to set up a spay/neuter program for the street dogs of

Romania. No sooner was she out of the country than the Mayor of

Bucharest, now the president of this poor country, Traian

Basescu gave the orders to municipal employees to shoot, poison, beat to death,

hang, and in short to kill by any means possible all the street dogs they could

get their hands on. Those who were not poisoned and left to agonize by

the side of the roads (where the schoolchildren had to pass them on their way

to school in the morning), or otherwise killed on the streets, were rounded up

and interned in the sterilization centers paid for by the Bardot Foundation,

which were used as concentration camps to hold the dogs and then exterminate

them (no, not by humane euthanasia). Campaigns of e mails to the

officials, to the then president of Romania, to the monster/traiter/killer Basescu were only ridiculed, and laughed

at. Public opinion could not be mobilized. Brigitte Bardot,

outraged, demanded a meeting with French Prime Minister Jospin who, obliged to

receive her, nevertheless replied that the massacre on the streets of Bucharest

(which then spread to other Romanian cities where the dogs were massacred in

the same way) was an internal affaire of the Romanian country and did not

concern the French government. The children who contacted us begged us to

tell the world, so that decent people would come to stop these crimes--

but we had to reply that all our efforts could mobilize no help at all for the

dogs. One young girl told us she did not want to live in a world where

such things could happen, and we understand her despair. Brave people

from Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and some even here in France, got in

their cars and drove to Romania to fill up with all the dogs they could take,

to get them out. Basescu lied to the world

about the number of strays, to exaggerate the problem, to justify his radical

solution. Romania citizens who tried to help or to hide the dogs were

assaulted. One old lady was hospitalized after municipal workers broke

down her door to throw dogs from her 4th floor window. And not one of the

big associations did anything to help, although some sent a bit of money, and

sympathy... But brave Romanian people like Rolda saved dogs

anyway, and many professional Romanians contacted the West by internet to

denounce the massacre.

 

Please, never forget the Romanian

dogs! If the killers or their collegues come to YOUR town to promote

Romanian business, let them know that in a civilized world such behavior

is not tolerated. And Basescu should be a pariah to all decent

people everywhere, to the day he dies.
