On October 13, 2011 the Written Declaration 026/2011 on dog population management in the European Union, was adopted by the European Parliament.
Before the vote, thousands of EU-citizens had written to their MEPs to ask them to approve and sign this document because, at that time, it seemed to be the only real opportunity that could lead to a better life of millions of animals in Europe given it would be the official position of the European Parliament in this dossier and was considered a first step in building a strategy that protects all cats and dogs across Europe.
At the occasion of 'Stray Animals Day' (April, 4) we would like to remind our dear EU that an estimated 100 Million stray dogs and probably twice as much stray cats live in countries member of the European Union, and given that:
- in six years, one female dog and her off-spring can produce 67.000 dogs
- in seven years, one female cat and her off-spring can produce 420.000 cats
every single day without action equals to thousands more unwanted animals born into a life of suffering, of starvation, and despair.
These millions of unwanted animals are EU-members without a voice and we therefor kindly ask our readers to be their voice, and to let the EU hear from you on their behalf - on behalf of all these unwanted animals who can not speak for themselves.
