4 OCTOBER World Animal Day

World Animal Day is celebrated in different ways in each country, regardless of nationality, religion, faith or political ideology.

 By raising awareness and education we can create a world in which animals are always recognized as sentient beings, and their full respect is always rewarded.

World Animal Day was initiated by Heinrich Zimmermann, who organized for the first time World Animal Day on March 24, 1925 at the SPORTS PALACE in Berlin, Germany.

The event was initially scheduled for October 3, to align with the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, the spiritual patron, the heavenly protector of the environment and the founder of the Franciscan order, who dedicated his life after Jesus's example - Imitatio Cristi listening to His advice in front of the cross at San Damiano.

We, the association R.E.A.D.C., help and protect practically the animals and citizens through the involvement and the firm application of the 4 principles - Education, Registration, Neutering and Development of Adoption Cultures.

And by fighting in court against corruption and abuse, we support the animal and owners’ rights. The final victories and sentences will force the blackmailed system to comply with the law.

The Constitutional Court of Romania in the specific sentence "Public health and animal welfare is the responsibility of every citizen"

In the end.

The failure of responsability

Too close to the East, too far from Assisi.

This year we analyze the Romanian saying that we collected last week in the Danube Delta at the education, registration, vaccination, neutering actions.

Barking like dogs in Giurgiu

The traditional saying that shows our way of interacting with the dog when it is no longer useful. After selling the sheep to the Turks, dogs that did not return the sheep as a direct help to tighten the flock, were left tied to the trees around the ”maidan” (vacant ground), remaining by the name of ”maidanez”.

”Maidan”, meaning fair in Transylvania, market in Muntenia, being an open place near the fortresses (Maidan - Persian word Turkished. The dog, according to the prophet is a cursed animal)

The same tradition of abandonment is applied even by ANSV-SA (do not ask me, I repeat, SA is not a Joint Stock Company) that privatizes the National Strategic Program for the Control of Diseases, (as ex. - rabies vaccination of dogs) in group interest without taking into account public health and animal welfare.

Obligation of control, surveillance and eradication, (WRITTEN in the job function paid by taxpayers) of communicable diseases from animal to man called MURRAINS such as Rabies as deadly disease in human.

Other partners of our irresponsible tradition, the College of Veterinarians as a professional social NGO have forgotten the deontological code that says that animal and public health is a priority of individual or group interests and they demand money in registering dogs as blackmail to receive the free rabies vaccine paid from budget as part of the same national rabies control program.

Dog owners being the majority in the urban environment being poor and pensioners cannot pay for the illegal privatization of registrations and the application of the rabies vaccine, so they abandon dogs where the Pound Mafia is actively funded from the local budget from taxpayers.

”Maidanezul” (the stray dog) is hunted, captured, killed being authorized by these two entities and with veterinarians members contributing to the system.

We, the civil society, are just as lazy and stupid that we accept the same these thefts, crimes and abuses as 800 years ago when dogs were abandoned in Giurgiu, Calafat, Vadul Oii etc.

And we, as NGOs and representatives of civil society, want to draw the attention of the control authorities that do not react because they are part of the same system funded from the budget.

It remains only the traditional echo of negligence towards the 8 million owners of carnivores, who bark as dogs in Giurgiu.
