An NGO from Luxembourg contacts the Parliament regarding the contract between Danyflor and the Timisoara City Hall

From Occupy For Animal 

The Danyflor-shelter in Timisoara has been featured in an important local media outlet yesterday after OFA had exposed this shelter in February 2013.

At that time the poor dogs at the Danyflor-shelter were left to die of dehydration and starvation although the City Hall payed 60,000-70,000 Romanian Leu per month (13,700 - 16,000 euros) to care for the dogs. 

The mayor had also publicly announced that they would conduct mass-sterilizations, which would be very very commendable, if it would then have happened.

When the local animal protection association visited the shelter on 13th of February, 2013 they were heartbroken seeing in what utterly deplorable conditions the animals had been kept.

Following OFA's intervention and a meeting between the mayor and the local animal welfare people the conditions at the Danyflor-shelter have considerably improved but a few improvements still need to be carried out and we will now engage in new discussions and try to get Danyflor to declare "no kill"... and for this we need your support. 

Below the online translated article that has been featured yesterday at: 

An NGO from Luxembourg contacts the Parliament regarding the contract between Danyflor and the Timisoara City Hall 

Few of us know that "Occupy for Animals" a nonprofit organisation based in Luxembourg, initiated a petition that advertising contract with Danyflor Timisoara City Hall, the company that takes care of stray dogs of Timisoara. This organization sent a public letter to Mayor Nicolae Robu, after receiving photos of shelter Danyflor. 

"Occupy for Animals" sought explanations for the money and how animals are treated at the shelter dogs. More sensitized to what is currently happening in Romania, "Occupy for Animals" has published several articles on the organization's website. For the case of Timisoara, they initiated a petition that has collected 4938 signatures so far, addressed to the European Parliament Jose Manuel Barroso and Secretary presedintelele organization Eurogroup for Animals, Andreas Erler, European leader in animal protection. The organization launched in September 2013 a petition to the European Parliament, which wanted to stop euthanizing dogs in Romania.

The photos displayed on the website of the organization, led by Pia Berrend are terrifying and have been published, some of them after the visit that took place on February 13, 2013 at Danyflor shelter. Images captured by photographer Claudia Bejan reflects the deplorable situation of dogs, the way they were treated and shortage of humanism, which causes you shiver now, even if you're not a lover of animals.

It seems that in this situation "outside help" was welcome. The true face of indifference Danyflor and local government, in connection with the contract Danyflor were published and this NGO abroad who wants to stop animal abuses and "leakage" of money, which amounted to 20,000 euro per month.

In the published document, the organization talks about Danyflor shelter as "a prison where the only way out is death." At the end of 2012, Danyflor estimate a total of 8,000 stray dogs, while other organizations Timisoara says it is much smaller. "Occupy for Animals", believes that these estimates were made to bring more money in accounts Danyflor.

Also, the petition document, specify the subject as they saw the shelter "inhuman conditions and horrible dead animals starving, dehydrated and near death."

This has not sensitized municipality that and now carries Danyflor contract in the same terms. Only in 2013, until August, Timisoara City Hall paid about 160,000 euros for the sterilization of 1,700 dogs and their collection on the street.

Even if the action "Open Doors Ziliele Danyflor" at the beginning of October, the dog shelter was cleaner, we can ask how the animals are cared for outside of these public views, as long as Timisoara City Hall has noticed irregularities, even when images were captured in February 2013. 

An article by 'Occupy for Animals" which referred to the situation of dogs in Romania and their petition, appeared in September in Norwegian newspaper "The Oslo Times".

Olguţa Vasilescu, about stray: "I do not want to see them in the street"

Vasilescu: La Craiova's shelter under EU rules

The translation is via Google translator and is not perfect. Here is the original report.

The declared intention of euthanasia all stray dogs in the city, the mayor of Turnu Severin, Romania managed to recapture the headlines in the West. In "The reality REPORT" Mayor Constantin Gheorghe spoke about the situation of stray dogs and denied that the pictures shown are from Drobeta Turnu Severin. Vasilescu Olguţa Craiova Mayor pointed out that 2,000 people are bitten by stray dogs in the city each year he leads.

"At Turnu Severin are also images on this post were British. Who wants can come to shelters. And one important detail: the streets of the city are few stray dogs," the mayor said. Asked if he strays from Drobeta Turnu Severin will be euthanized, the mayor said: "So far, law enforcement rules did not appear so I can not do anything. Whoever said that one month, one day we will live to euthanize dogs is totally wrong was a misinterpretation of my statements. did not kill any dog before, I hope you do not kill any from here because we have a good shelter in place ".

Vasilescu Olguţa Craiova Mayor denied that shocking images circulating on Facebook would be sheltered from Craiova. "Not in our house. La Craiova is a shelter under EU rules. images shown do not know where , I saw on Facebook, saying that abused and killed dogs with bats to do. shelter to do is shut for years. ordinary are lies. Did you say that we allow NGOs to adopt dogs. Ba Yes, we allow them to adopt dogs provided they have a shelter where to take them or to come up with evidence that they send to these countries. because otherwise I wake up with them again in the street. never want to see them in the street . I have a very serious problem in Craiova. 2,000 people are bitten by dogs each year. dogs of 10,000, this means that almost 25% of them are aggressive and bite. know how much treatment for people bitten? 4 milliard. I call Craiova to all who want to come to the shelter adopt adopt. But do not throw them in the street. We have a regulation that is very tough. If you get a dog and get back on the street, paying £ 2,500, "he Vasilescu said.

Mayor of Drobeta-Turnu Severin in denial. National TV features dog neglect.

Reality to Report "The declared intention of euthanasia all stray dogs in the city, the mayor of Turnu Severin managed to put back, Romania on the headlines in the West"

Reality to Report featured the Huffington Post article on animal cruelty in Romania. 

The Mayor of Drobeta-Turnu Severin is in denial. Please watch the entire programme here 

The Mayor denies the images featured by the local media here but offers no proof that the images are false. For four years, this report was never denied. Interesting how its authenticity is now questioned. Perhaps the Mayors have no other defence

See Occupy For Animal's take on it.

Dogs are eating each other at a shelter that receives £ 40,000 per month [2008]

Horrible things happen in a shelter for strays from Drobeta Turnu Severin is starving animals eat each other, and corpses lying everywhere.

Support this a volunteer who filmed with mobile phone extremely cruel scenes. "Everything is directed," says head of center. Inspectors checked her and found work but for starters, you do not have authorization to operate.

There were at least 200 dogs in the shelter , and standing together with young adults. Inadmissible, say experts. The little ones have not had any chance against the big, hungry.

When he reached the center of Drobeta Turnu Severin, the man who brought them occasionally feed dogs from the streets, had a shock. Dozens of corpses, most eaten, they lie at random, he says. Nobody cared for the fate of animals, said the volunteer, who went to the pictures to authorities.

Center representatives receive monthly, £ 40,000, from city hall to raise and care for animals. Shelter boss swears he did not know of such a review. Contradicts the veterinary inspectors.

The mayor began an investigation and he says that those who were wrong in this case will be punished even terminating labor agreements.

Illegal shelter with 90 dogs, Matasari,Gorj!

Please urge authorities to take measures ( 90 animals are in terrible conditions in an illegal shelter waiting to die) , send also photos to: - romanian national mass-media and the media from your country - Sanitary Veterinary One One Direction Skillet Musicorj - dsv@intergorj.ro - Sanitary Veterinary National Authority - office@ansvsa.ro 

We will tell you one by one how things went so that you can understand what is really happening here, all over Romania, actually. Carmena Serbanoiu, president of Pro Animals Romani, ran this action. We were told by people and by our representative there that In Matasari , the public shelter was reopened ( after we closed it months ago) and that there are dogs in very bad conditions, lying in their own excrements, with no food or water , all crowded in tinny kennels. We phoned Sanitary Veterinary Direction whole days to ask to give us inspectors to visit that shelter but they didn't do it. One day, our representative called us and told that she went at the shelter asking to take her dog from there and someone from there told her to come next day with an ID card to pick up the dog as next morning they will all be loaded in trucks and taken away! We called urgently the SVD and told about this and asked the inspectors teams for next morning. At 10 we arrrived in Matasari , with SVD inspectors and mass-media. The shelter was closed and nobody was there. We could hear the tens of dogs crying, barking and bitting eachother. So, we decided to call the Emergency Appeal Number 112 to ask for a team of policemen. 

At the Emergency Appeal number, the voice that replied kept on asking us why we called them, saying that our appeal wasn't an emergency. Carmena explained them the law but they didnt know it. Finally, two policemen came. They told Carmena she is not allowed to go inside shelter as this is a private property, that we have no right! There started the scandal! We told we will call the National Police if they continue with that behaviour. We also called the National Animals Protection Federation FPAM for advice. There came the police commander who was very annoyed by our actions and about the press there. Meanwhile, the SVD inspectors were staying in the cars! We went to Town Hall, where authorities there told that there is no public shelter, that they have no dogs. Police commander told that if we want to go in, we need to make a written demand to the Mayor andthe demand must be approved with days before visit. After a scandal of 3 hours in front of shelter, someone from the Town hall came and we and we entered shelter after we gae other calls to sole this problem. 

We took photos, numbered the dogs. They were 90 dogs, crowded 25 in one kennel, in a terrible dirt and condition!!! Now, the policemen made a written-notice where they found Carmena quilty that she trasspassed a private property and that SVD inspectors told everyting was fine inside shelter ( no animal cruelty). They wanted to get her sign but when she ask them to read what they wrote , she refused to sign and they got very angry. Also, SVD ispectors said they didnt declare such a thing ( that everything was fine) so they must change the written-notice. We asked a copy of the written-notice but they refuse to give it asking us to make a demand to the commander to have one. The next day, we called SVD director asking the measures they took and to take urgent measures with the 90 dogs imprisoned there but they gave no reply. Today, they promis we will make a commune action next week, but until Monday those dogs will live in that hell.

Dozens of Dogs Tortured

Translated from the original link here.

Mătăsari authorities have caught the attention of police and veterinarians after locals complained that quadrupeds are starving and cramped in a very small enclosure. In addition to representatives of the Association ProAnimals, spot DSV inspectors arrived, and an officer in the area who began an investigation. There are taken dogs gathered in the streets.

Citizens of Mătăsari were the ones who alerted authorities about the fact that the animals are tormented by claiming that they care. This however did not come on site to open those from Pro Animals and DSV. After more than three hours of waiting and showed up a City Hall employee who allowed inside. "This can not be called a shelter. It is totally illegal and improvised. Dogs do not have water, food, and even 15 are kept in a pen ten square meters. I believe that it violates the law in an act. I was in the spring and DSV police dogs were released then. I will probably criminal complaint mayor and landowner. It uses public money and you see that, "said Carmela Şerbănoiu, head ProAnimals Association. People are desperate because they were taken before the courts even dogs "dogs were raised sides. They took me a dog and I came to pick up and so I saw. It's a lot of misery, without food and water, "said Tatiana Andries, locals Mătăsari. Even if citizens were informed a few weeks DSV representatives went to the site just now. "It's kind of shelter if I can say so. An area where dogs are kept, but not to tell them if the conditions for their health or about the distance at which we were allowed to see. The law provides for individual cages, 1.90 m space for each dog, "said Robert Spanu, representative DSV Gorj.

Why are allocated money?

To care for these dogs local government allocates money. How quadrupeds live there one check. The city fathers are good only at theory. "I know this paddock was built by a private person. Mrs. Şerbănoiu has been to us and we also report the dogs were released. Now I have not checked the conditions are kept because we work to put in place the law in September and location for them. Have money in the budget to bring running water lab. Are dogs and Hall Mătăsari gives money for food. We matter to these dogs, but the Health Center for people that are not interested in anyone, "said Alexander Udrişte, deputy mayor of Mătăsari. The case reached the attention of the County Police Inspectorate: "Police were informed that at an animal shelter in Mătăsari dogs are not cared for properly. Cops do research to clarify the status quo, "said Romina Dochian, Gorj county police spokesman. It remains to be seen how people will act and will be sanctions law.

Serious Irregularities in Mihăileşti ASPA shelter: Dogs bite wounds covered, dead dogs

Original Source - click here.

September 20, 2013 - 4:39 p.m. • Amalia Balabaneanu

Dogs ill treated and packed in miserable conditions. Found that NGO representatives who participated Thursday in control by prosecutors of the High Court of Cassation and Justice (High Court of Cassation), along with representatives of Sanitary Veterinary Authority (ANSVSA) away from the Authority for the Supervision and Mihăileşti Animal Protection. Razvan BANCESCU manager ASPA, it said on Friday that bothered NGO representatives accompanied prosecutors sheltered from Mihăileşti, where control was based on the Law on the Protection of Animals. NGO representatives and photographs made in the shelter, but not allowed to publish them until the end of the investigation by the Prosecutor's Office. ASPA representatives did not respond to phone, to give a reply to the allegations.

NGO representatives who participated Thursday in the control run by the HCCJ prosecutors, sheltered from Mihăileşti accuses shelter employees that they keep the dogs in poor conditions and do not provide necessary treatment to the sick. " We have participated as representatives of civil society under the law 9/2008. controls, which started after the tragic event in early September, aimed at detection of possible economic crimes and acts of animal cruelty . Regarding animal cruelty, I found overcrowding in housing. According to European law to which we are affiliated should follow a space for each dog to not damage their health because of overcrowding. However, there are boxes with individual cages found in standing by two dogs, although it should be one, and speakers with multiple dogs. were many in large dogs, each 20 to 30, put the bunch, who had brought a few days. In large speakers, first not allowed to spend more dogs that are put to a random aged dogs. they should be isolated by age, sex and disease medical, or we found when we got there, it did not do any expertise by age, sex and health. they risk being placed randomly kill each other, or the healthy bite to eat food the A sick so I noticed also sick with a health deteriorated, barely standing, were extremely weak. Some had fractures with tissue bleeding, other bleeding and flies into a standing huge number , "he told Alina Ciobanu Association representative dog, dog for B 365.ro.

NGO representative say that, although the dogs were ill-treatment has not been made ​​on them again. " By 9:00, I saw the health of those animals, and up to 17.30 am asked a doctor to intervene to help them. Whenever I asked to intervene to help that dog I was told that they are busy with papers and it is so important to provide medical treatment to the dog, while the doctor was free and only boss - Dr. Popa - see their work with representatives of the Prosecutor's Office, during inspection. I also asked the representative ANSVSA Mrs. Ciurea - department head of animal welfare, international connecting Romania to the OIE animal welfare - take a firm stance at that time. I said, "Honey, do not you see that people are busy? How to busier and dogs?. "When I asked when they could do something for her response to me ironic that you can not do anything because the sheets are now the Prosecutor treatment, and they can not perform without treatment to pass something on the form. Basically, the dogs will be treated indefinitely , "said Ciobanu.

However, NGO representatives also stated that no cages were not in a very good situation. They have wooden floors and dogs sit directly on the cold cement, no matter how cold it is outside. Moreover, when caregivers cement wash water, dogs get to sit in a puddle basically water, according to Alina Ciobanu.

Another issue that has sparked criticism by NGO is to feed dogs lying on the floor. " The dog did its needs in one hand and his food was relatively close to the stool, in the context in which speakers are very small. At one point, caregivers were clean, sweeping and feces and food, throwing absolutely everything, and making it a great big waste of food. Where ASPA has no money for some bowls of food or some wood floors so that, according to European standards, the animals do not suffer, money for food to squander and throw to trash? when I asked this question I was told that the food may be contaminated with feces and therefore throws and they assume this thing , "said Alina Ciobanu.

During Thursday's control, NGO representatives found a mother in a cage with several puppies, one of which was dead. When he tried to find out why the dog died, no-one knew anything about his existence. " I requested to do a necropsy by a national authority that can do this. initially opposed but later a body left for necropsy. cooler I found and a dead dog, and far I know all yesterday (No - Thursday) at Pallady found 10 dead dogs. folks at Mihăileşti shelter said the dog did not belong to them, even if he was on the stand number 34 in the housing, with mom and littermates, because it was not made ​​entry form and does not exist in their database because Mihăileştiul still refuses to take the chicken. From their point of view that is not their dog and is a huge anomaly "said Alina Ciobanu.

Association representative dog, dog, says that even ANSVSA dealing representative animal welfare nesecotit all these aspects directly related to their physical well-being at the time.

ANSVSA representatives have declined to comment on what they found shelter on the grounds that the investigation is still ongoing Prosecutor.

ASPA announced Friday morning that because of shelter dogs Mihăileşti sheets were raised by prosecutors, are suspended all adoptions from the shelter. P rocurorii say, however, that adoptions can continue.

ASPA has sparked criticism once the Protocol on catching stray dogs. According to this protocol, three firms that in 2012 were involved in activities such as "business and management consultancy", "dental care" or "intermediary in the sale of furniture, household goods, hardware and ironmongery" activities that had nothing in common with animals', the ASPA will receive £ 219 each for every dog caught .

From the street you do not hear anything. It's quiet. From time to time, just to hear the cars whizzing Pallady Boulevard. I'm on the narrow street without sidewalks on the outskirts of Bucharest.

As we grow dissatisfied voices begin to discern. In front of ASPA shelter, about 20 people crowding the gate locked.

In front of the gate ASPA Pallady


Show concern detached television reporters on the sidelines, FOUR PAWS representatives clamoring in the corner, and a handful of people waiting in front of the gate to adopt a puppy.

Aspa gate Pallady

Some can barely control her tears when they remember the euthanasia law, others are overwrought by time and beat on foot to foot anxiously clutching collars that changes are putting them out of there dogs.

Occasionally, vans loaded with dogs just get caught at the gate of the shelter. When people loose: "Criminals Do not let them in! Pound bastards." The man sitting at the gate, in blue uniform, who decide who comes in and is exasperated. It called on all sides to employees ASPA ba, ba kept the people in the street. Some ask directions, some swearing, media seek to enter. It's total chaos.

Sometimes doors open and one dog is dragged off to the breadth of the pound and got in the car for those who adopt them.A dog is dragged off to the breadth of pound.

People scream when they see how poor animal struggles at the end of the metal rod and the sky was no longer carry it.

The dog quickly reached into the arms of those who have decided to stop offering them a chance at life


However, the dog quickly reached into the arms of those who have decided to offer them a chance at life. Another soul was saved. Once you get in the car and ready to go everyone wishes they master a new dog and beautiful and healthy life.

Row moves very hard. 20-30 minutes to get each one. The guards did not abandon the "each one, one at a time." Succeed and I to go after them through the bars of the gate waving press card. Are urged to not talk to the staff, not to photograph. The reason is that "and so are under immense pressure." Incunviintez before the shelter.

Two large doors, blue metal stay open left and right. I choose to go left. A strong odor strikes me. Still thinking it's somewhat normal to smell like a place where dozens of dogs are crammed. After passing the gate blue see cages.

Again, divided into left and right. I choose to take it from one end to see the dogs. Each cage has this exit outside, in a small space. On the inside, however, five or six dogs are curled up on the tiles.

The photograph. The sound device makes to look up at me, wide-eyed and wondering. None barking. They are very good. Do not fret. I sleep in semi-darkness, side by side.

Move from one cage to another, slowly, trying to contain my emotions. From time to time, I hear many a whimper. There are dogs of all kinds. But most look bad. I do not know if this condition were picked up from the street and it is the effect of shelter.

The fact is that many are weak and sickly hair is dirty. When I entered all the cages had food and water. I try to go and take pictures, as discreetly without making them nervous. The last speaker, however, I expect a puppy wet nose squeezed through a hole in the grid cage. Yes tail and whimpers. Try petting and is quite pleased that someone gives attention.

A dog that wants out

Go see and Cushite outside. There, the same view. Dogs made pretzel stand quietly behind the fence. From somewhere in the back is heard barking. Dogs in the last box on the left seem unhappy with my presence. But others are not interested. Occasionally raise his eyes to me, but then shut them again.

Noisy as they are the last ones left speaker on a stand so still dog the last box on the right. Huddled in a corner, dirty and disheveled fur, the animal seems to await the end.

Somewhere far right, hidden somehow, there was a corral with puppies. Luckily they were noisy and drew my attention. Some of them come to make scandal in front the camera. Others shy, hiding under the house. I do not know how the room there, the fact is that not only stem seeing outside.

After seeing chickens, directed me to the right blue gates shelter. Here, different cages. They have no option to get the air and are located in the middle of the room.

I expect the same serenity as the opposite speakers. Dogs sit quietly on some wooden pallets. From time to time, get up and come near metal nets wagging tail and whimpering. Right next door to the left, a large dog, white with two black spots on the head greet visitors giving happy tail.

While I can see from my photos around the cage, more people walking around the speakers concerned with napkins in hand and crying. Everyone seeks his protege. Some seem deznadajuiti and staff complain "can not find it, why not here? Where'd you go?".

Some dogs of all shapes and colors, a Pekingese sleeps curled. I wonder how he got in the shelter? Whose it be?

Photograph them all and decide to leave the shelter. On the way to the gate, a dog waits to be high among some compassionate people. It is in a cage and expect to be taken from his new master. They are worried that the blood runny ear. Carers busily trying to reassure them by telling them that it's the ear tag.

Image of shelter ASPA Pallady

Coming shelter behind the gate, pass the peace in which dogs sunk with sadness and dissatisfaction come from noise caused by people. Out of the yard and see a large man who agitate a bag of dog food in air ASPA employees asking them to take it. For reasons we do not understand, they vehemently refuse donation. "Take this bag sir. I brought food to not starve. Why do not you accept?" Screaming man after fence.

It's already noon and people are becoming increasingly impatient. A young tattooed and well done is soon to open car door that came with captured animals. Pound and jump guards to remove. And came out with screams and howls. Two girls dressed in pink, along with their parents, one of them the mother, the other with daddy, and they quietly stand in line waiting to take a puppy.

A lady announced that in a few days to build a shelter for 15 dogs in his backyard. She's sorry she can not save more. FOUR PAWS employees refused to leave the bar. Since his death generated inceputscandalul Ionut, veterinarians from the known NGOs say they have not been received shelter inside the office though he had had there, inside, where free disinfects. They insist that I do not understand being denied access but suddenly say they will continue to come to work every day, even if it will mean eight-hour sit in front of the gate.

At one point, the police arrive and the third sector. Nobody knows exactly who called her but enter ASPA headquarters and agencies talk to staff. People in front of the gate the author expresses vehement anger shouting defend and do not feel that the police should not allow abuse of the ASPA.

The scandal seems that never ends. On one side of the gate ASPA employees, on the other hand, unhappy people. Over the fence and through the bars, people yelling at each other. Las powerful passions and I head back to the subway thinking of happy tails, wet noses who beg mercy through the bars.

Euthanasia - Romanian Style

I needed to publish this write-up because this is the reality of Romania. A slow and painful death for dogs.

Via Occupy For Animals

Most of the municipalities or dog catching companies who operate the shelters will NOT spend a single LEI on the unfortunate dogs that they will catch and put in their so-called "shelters". 

They will NOT feed them, probably not even give them a drop of water because the sooner they will die, the sooner they will make room for new dogs. 

And for those who will survive the 14 days in such a hell hole, death will come as a welcome relief. But death won't come swiftly, and it won't come softly...

As I have said it many times, they will not "be put to sleep". They will be KILLED, in the most horrible ways - they will NOT spend money on killingl them gently.... It has to be inexpensive, that is all that counts for them. And therefore the dogs will be beaten to death, injected with magnesium sulphate, water, vinegar, paint thinner and other chemical substances... Or like we had seen it in Tulcea, they will be thrown in the cremators while still alive. 

Remember Botosani? ... which made national in international headlines on 11th of May, 2011, when the vet Cristian Petru Pencu, assisted by his drunken helpers, "managed" to kill 230 healthy dogs in 2 hours time?

Make no mistake because the above sentence contains the word 'vet': these dogs had not been euthanized by injection; these 230 healthy dogs had been slaughtered!

The volunteers who until then had fed the dogs at the municipal shelter every day, discovered them in the morning, in plastic bags, with blood everywhere.

The vet who was responsible for the killing of the 230 dogs was later accused of intentional murder and another 15 people had been surveyed. The police doubted that he managed to make lethal injections to 230 dogs in two hours. "For an injection is needed ten minutes. The doctor therefore needed 2300 minutes ..."

THAT is "euthanasia Romanian Style"....
