Brigitte Bardot concerned of euthanasia of stray dogs in Moldova
Chisinau mayor gets letter from Brigitte Bardot asking him to stop "bloody and revolting" euthanasia of stray dogs
Chisinau mayor Dorin Chirtoaca has been trying to find a solution to the capital's stray dog problem ever since he took office in 2007. Chisinau has a huge problem in this regard; packs of stray dogs, many of them rabid, roam the streets in the city. Some have bitten adults and children, and a few people have died from complications as a result of these bites.
According to a recent decision by the Chisinau city council, stray dogs that are caught and are not claimed by anyone within ten days will be put down.
This decision has led to a reaction from famous French actress Brigitte Bardot, who is a well-known animal rights activist. Ms. Bardot sent a letter to Mr. Chirtoaca, asking him to "disavow, as quickly as possible, this horrible news, that will unite your name forever with this bloody and revolting act that is completely against your position, which gives you an obligation to protect and to find human solutions for every problem that appears in the city."
Mr. Chirtoaca has replied that city hall will develop an answer to Ms. Bardot which will include a death certificate of a city hall official that died because of complications from a stray dog bite, as well pictures of a child who was attacked by stray dogs.
This issue seems to have divided people in Chisinau. On the one hand, many believe the problem needs to be resolved. On the other hand, some say the solution is inhumane.
