Putin-putin corectat de mine, daca fetele care l-au scris nu au nimic impotriva... (Ah, vad ca nu se vede cu rosu ce am corectat eu, in Word am pus cu rosu). Formularea de final este f. OK.
Your Excellencies,
Desprecopii.com, the largest Romanian online parenting community, together with The Non-governmental Federation for Children and The Civic Initiative Group: ProCivilizatie, Zeromaidanezi.ro, and Nadine Group would like to draw Your attention to the recent tragic death of a four year old boy in Bucharest, after being mauled by stray dogs and to the passing by the Chamber of Deputies of a piece of legislation allowing euthanasia if a dog is not adopted in a reasonable amount of time.
We strongly believe that the public debate currently taking place in the Romanian society would be enriched if You were to address this issue by presenting the solutions implemented in your countries.
We believe Your involvement is absolutely necessary and will be welcomed by the Romanian authorities. It is vital that the authorities take control of the stray dog reproduction in order to ensure the safety of all children and people living in the capital Bucharest and in the rest of the country.
So far, we demanded, during several public protests, that the authorities act decisively in order to guarantee the Constitutional Rights to life and safety. We petitioned the authorities and we responded to the invitation of The General City Council of Bucharest to attend a meeting concerning the implementation of the said legislation.
We are determined to request that the law should be followed in its entirety and properly implemented. We strongly demand a concrete and solid Protocol of measures, with a deadline for the removal of all stray dogs from the streets.
We would like to call Your attention upon another serious consequence, as a result of the law being voted.
Sadly, there has been a strong manipulation of the public opinion in order to make the international mass media and people abroad, believe that the citizens of Romania are some barbarians that kill or mistreat animals. Here are some examples of mass manipulation intent:
1. A few days ago, people shared a video in which some people were burning a puppy alive. The video had a strong message: "This is how the euthanasia law is being enforced in Romania!". A lot of people reacted negatively to this clip and even a famous singer had something to say about it! It proved to be an old Live Leaks video from Russia... NO connection with Romania whatsoever!
2. Lately, a famous newspaper in Romania wrote an article of someone being killed for trying to defend a stray dog. The article was soon picked up by most of the Romanian publications, people started sharing it via Facebook, again the same message: "This is because the euthanasia law was accepted in Romania!". It is worth mentioning that the article was written in August 2010 and the murderer was extremely high… so again, NO connection to the "euthanasia law”.
3. We have a new photo (photo-shopped as a manifest) with the message: "Euthanasia the Romanian Way", showing a female dog with her 4 puppies, killed by the "barbarian Romanians that agree with the law!" We investigated and the photo was taken in Mexico, years ago.
4. and so on with other examples
At the same time, we have to mention we show respect for the animals, we want them to live in shelters where they can be properly taken care of and we condemn any form of abuse and violence against them. We support the Mass Adoption campaign, a measure needed in order to prevent the dogs from being abandoned on the streets, sick and hungry, gathered in packs and threatening human lives.
Below are our arguments, the 4 year old Ionut Anghel, being just one of the many:

Hoping our appeal for supporting children and life in general, safety and public health in Romania will be in Your assent, we kindly thank You in advance and we are looking forward for Your answer or any kind of public response.
Yours sincerely,
