article 6 and article 7 of the Bulgarian animal protection act prohibit "the infliction of pain and every act or omission of an act, that causes permanent or repeated suffering for the animal".
The massacre of dogs in Plovdiv, during which 14 dogs were slain with iron bars by two animal keepers known to us by name before the eyes of two witnesses, not only grossly contradicts the applicable law and the elementary ethical standards, but also harms the esteem of your country.
Dear Attorney General Velchev,
Dear Deputy Prime Minister Plugtschieva, Dear Mayor Atanossov,
article 6 and article 7 of the Bulgarian animal protection act prohibit "the infliction of pain and every act or omission of an act, that causes permanent or repeated suffering for the animal".
The massacre of dogs in Plovdiv, during which 14 dogs were slain with iron bars by two animal keepers known to us by name before the eyes of two witnesses, not only grossly contradicts the applicable law and the elementary ethical standards, but also harms the esteem of your country.
WE DEMAND FROM YOU:
* The closing down of all camps for stray animals in Bulgaria and their conversion into animal shelters
* Severe punishment for those who torment, kill or maroon animals
* Immediate implementation of the castration programmes provided by the animal protection act
* Free access to the camps for stray animals for all citizens
Enforce the applicable law and make sure, that the isolators finally disappear from the moral map of Bulgaria. This is your duty, comply with it!
I will only visit Bulgaria again when your country considers its responsibility towards animals.
