<p style="text-align: center"><strong>SUGGESTIONS ON IMPROVING ANIMAL WELFARE IN THE MEMBER STATES OF EUROPEAN<br />
UNION</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">1) Homeless dogs and cats of European Union countries should always be treated according to either local or EU&#8217;s common animal welfare law.In practice this means e.g. that dogs should not be captured by using methods that cause pain, placed in storages that violate the animal welfare law (e.g. cramped spaces, lack of water and food, neglect of injured and sick animals), dogs should not be put down unless for animal welfare reasons and in such cases to be euthanized solely by a veterinarian in a humane way and not e.g. with a poison syringe straight to the heart.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">In addition the countries should be obliged to arrange extensive spaying programmes for female dogs and cats (neuter and release) and aim at vaccinating all the homeless dogs and cats. Only veterinarians are to perform neutering/spaying and when operating they would have to use proper anaesthesia and not merely e.g. sedative. In cities that have animal shelters, the unspayed female dogs and cats should be kept separated from the males (until the females are spayed) in order to prevent females from reproducing at the shelter.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">According to the animal welfare law, abuse towards homeless dogs and<br />
cats and causing pain to them should be considered a crime. Homeless<br />
dogs and cats should be captured only if it&#8217;s justified e.g. for<br />
neutering/spaying and vaccinating, for reasons concerning animal<br />
welfare (a sick or injured dog or cat must be given proper care or<br />
taken to be euthanized) or if the animal would be transported to an<br />
animal shelter that meets the standards of the animal welfare law.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">2) EU should efficiently provide supervision on animal welfare matters<br />
to countries where severe stray dog problems exist. These countries<br />
nearly always also have a long history in brutal mass murders of dogs<br />
(e.g. Romania, Bulgaria). There should be an established instance<br />
(officer or team) dedicated to such countries, supervising the<br />
implementation of the animal welfare law. The countries should also be<br />
made responsible for reporting of their progress to the EU. If the<br />
country could not fulfil the agreed terms, EU should have to have some<br />
kind of a substantial sanction system.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">EU should establish a channel where individuals (whether they&#8217;re<br />
people or organizations) could report their local authorities&#8217; neglect<br />
or animal cruelty crimes if the supervisory instance of the particular<br />
country wouldn&#8217;t react to any of these animal cruelty reports. The<br />
citizens should have the possibility to report directly to EU if the<br />
local supervisory instance would appear to be corrupted or e.g. the<br />
decision-makers of the cities couldn&#8217;t cooperate with local animal<br />
welfare associations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">3) The animal welfare law should also extend to abandoned horses and<br />
donkeys since in many EU-countries these domestic animals do not<br />
receive proper care. E.g. in Romania the treatment of horses is poor<br />
among Romanian gypsies but the authorities do not seem to have the<br />
means, resources or will to intervene in this animal cruelty.<br />
Here are few examples:</p>
<p>http://koti.phnet.fi/proanima/Maltreated%20horses</p>
<p>http://www.proanimalsfinland.net/content/view/535/56/lang,english/</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">4) The local authorities should take an animal under custody if it&#8217;s<br />
obvious that the owner has neglected or abused the animal. There<br />
should be a regulation for the terms where the authorities should<br />
perform the necessary measures, i.e. taking the custody of the animal<br />
and legally transferring the ownership of the animal e.g. to a local<br />
animal welfare association that would find a new home for the animal<br />
if needed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">The local authorities should be obliged to cooperate with local animal<br />
welfare associations and support their work in developing the local<br />
animal protection e.g. by offering affordable sites and rental<br />
buildings. The authorities should sign care agreements with local<br />
animal welfare associations e.g. for injured animals or animals taken<br />
under custody, to cover the main part of the costs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">The local authorities should be obliged to investigate and report all<br />
animal cruelty reports and proceed according to country&#8217;s animal<br />
protection law. In case the authorities should fail doing this,<br />
individuals could report this to EU (via animal protection alert<br />
channel), thus EU would take appropriate measures.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">5) In the problem countries veterinarians should be systematically<br />
encouraged to cooperate with local animal welfare organizations.<br />
Financial incentives system should be created for this purpose.<br />
Veterinarians operating in problem areas should receive regular<br />
additional medical and animal protection related training.<br />
Veterinarians with positive attitudes towards animal welfare can be<br />
great influencers among local communities.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">6) Animal slaughtering practiced by individuals should be monitored<br />
more efficiently and prohibited when slaughtering doesn&#8217;t meet the EU<br />
regulations. Now for example Romanian gypsies often slaughter animals<br />
when intoxicated. This causes animals great suffering and lengthening<br />
of pain before death.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">In Romanian villages it is common to castrate horses without any kind<br />
of pain relief or assistance from a vet. This should be stopped<br />
immediately. The problem countries should have municipal vets who<br />
would tour even in the most remote or poor rural areas, providing<br />
medical treatments for animals and monitoring the overall condition of<br />
horses, which is generally very poor. It should be criminalized to<br />
abandon animals e.g. horses wandering around outskirts of towns (being<br />
often hit by cars and badly injured). This kind of practice should<br />
meet the characteristics of an animal abandoning and hence should be<br />
prohibited. Horses should be kept in a tether or a paddock.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">7) EU should sponsor animal welfare related media campaigns e.g. in TV<br />
in such countries where animals&#8217; rights are particularly poor e.g. in<br />
Romania, Bulgaria, Baltic countries.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial"> <img src='http://proanimals.ro/en/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> EU should provide grants and support for small local animal welfare<br />
associations and for development of animal protection on a local level<br />
in the new EU member states, where animal protection is on poor state.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">Currently small animal welfare associations are completely left out<br />
from country specific and EU level support. Information on EU animal<br />
welfare grants is very difficult to find from the Internet and the<br />
currently available EU-links lead to nothing concrete.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">Small local animal welfare associations have very limited resources to<br />
implement large scale projects (e.g. countryside development), that<br />
would enable EU-level financial support. For small associations it is<br />
nearly impossible to find proper sponsors from the corporate world.<br />
Also financial support from large international animal welfare<br />
organizations is out of reach for small associations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">9) In the countries where the situation of animal welfare is<br />
particularly poor EU should sponsor, in close cooperation with local<br />
animal welfare associations, animal welfare related education at<br />
schools and collages e.g. in Romania, Bulgaria, Baltic countries and<br />
Spain. Alike young people should be encouraged to take responsibility<br />
on animals and participate as volunteers e.g. in local animal shelters.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">10) Currently in countries like Romania and Bulgaria the animal<br />
welfare matters are entirely left on the shoulders of small local<br />
associations. Due to this distorted situation many small associations<br />
with very limited resources are forced to work till exhaustion,<br />
sacrificing their personal lives and livelihood in order to help<br />
animals in need. These small associations in Romania and Bulgaria very<br />
often also run animal shelters and do they best in taking care of<br />
stray and abandoned dogs without any financial support from local<br />
authorities. These shelters are nearly always very primitive and the<br />
working conditions most challenging (e.g. Pro Animals Romania).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">Local authorities should allocate reasonable funds for small<br />
associations (e.g. in Romania and Bulgaria) for building sufficient<br />
animal shelters (for cats, dogs, horses, donkeys) and to hire staff.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">Now obtaining medical veterinary services is often a challenge for<br />
small or remote associations. EU should provide movable veterinary<br />
clinics that would cooperate with local animal welfare associations.<br />
These movable clinics would provide regularly service in remote or<br />
problem areas.</span></p>
