Brigitte Bardot Protests Killing Stray Dogs In Romania
Written by Vegetarian Star on May 19th, 2010 in Actresses, Animal Issues.
Brigitte Bardot has written a letter to Romanian MPs, asking them not to go ahead with a plan to cull thousands of stray dogs in the nation’s capitol, according to The Telegraph.
Plans are under way to pass a law that would allow unclaimed stray dogs to be euthanized after seven days.
“Romania will not be able to evolve if it continues to take cruel decisions against sensitive creatures, which are under the protection of European law,” the actress wrote. “Stray animals, neglected and threatened on the streets, mirror the fear of a country which fails to approach the future based on the principle of voluntary responsibility.”
Bardot, both a vegetarian and animal rights activist, has personally donated her own money in the past for a sterilization program for stray animals, and she proposes such a program as an alternative to culling the 100,000 that live in Bucharest.
