By signing the petition you are sending this letter

To: Pedro Castro Vázquez

Dear Mayor of Getafe:

I am writing to you because I have knowledge of change management Getafe kennel. A change quite grim as it has gone from a 14-year management with 1.39% of sacrifices, a six-month management has 66.66% of sacrifice, with a higher budget.

I think the councils should follow the will of its citizens and society in general and in this case, the citizens want a management that decides on the adoption of stray animals and not by indiscriminate slaughter. In short, citizens want a kill-dog kennel, we sacrifice 0.

A City Council that, so far, has been an example of how to manage an Animal Protection Centre, in terms of welfare and animal adoptions are concerned (98'24%) and yet has left this impeccable track record and inexplicably has gone to hire a company-killing dogs, day by day, week to week, bloodstain all other decisions to be taken.

For all this, and knowing that the previous administration responsible for the Center for Animal Protection, Beatriz Menchén, has launched an indefinite hunger strike in Getafe to get the city back to animal protection, I fully sympathize with their cause and outraged citizen Beatriz unconditionally support and their claims, which are also the most.

I'll spread the news among my acquaintances are public information, citizens should know how you manage your local municipal kennel and I remind him that these animals, which are being slaughtered within walking

oops missed the last line.

hmmmm

sorry hun.

Here is the last paragraph.....

I'll spread the news among my acquaintances are public information, citizens should know how you manage your local municipal kennel and I remind him that these animals, which are being slaughtered within walking distance of the consistory, do not vote, but all we do.

I look forward to your reply,

I'd love to see them run a similar thing all the time, to benefit different areas and get good programs running.

Noted & Signed! The only difference between animals and so call human beings is that they do not have the weapons to defend themselves. Human beings, no matter what country, that have no use, respect or care for animals are not civilized human beings and should be educated as to the value animals are to the world.

It seems the problem with animal shelters is happening in places other than the good old U.S. of A. I just signed the letters to Pres. Obama and others about proper laws to manage animal shelters, and the next petition on my list is about the same problem Will our cruelty to animals know no boundaries? I fear that the hunger strike is not going to melt the mayor's heart. But we have to try somehow.

I want to Thank her for doing this but we must all take steps to help her accomplish what she is trying to do. Stand together , voice an opinion, call an official and make a difference public officials know we vote and so make our voices heard.

I signed and open an account because they have some cases to sign and follow.If you write to the EU regarding Rumania, can also mention Bosnia where people are shooting dogs in the streets.Those streets are patroled and protected by NATO and some countries in an effort to keep stability of the country and protection of citizens..Not the security help,injection of capital,oportunity to make business, orientation,good faith have been enough to stop cruelty and killing of animals.EU decision makers are doing nothing to stop this problem. If they give protection to animals,shelters will came under the same protection because it will mean the recognition of Lisbon Treatise.When you sign petitions to EU,please,send a message reminding them their compromise.And that they recommended the same for all the countries of the world but they are not embracing their own commitment and laws. Also mention BEATRIZ MENCHEN and her situation. The more more messages they receive, the more they will see things are getting worse.Specially for them.They have to answer their people why is this happening and why they keep sending money and help to governments that are acting against Democracy ,order and respect for laws.Not to mention Life.
