Dear Madam and Sir in the EU-Parliament and Romania,

The situation in your country is revolting and shameful. Horses in Romania have an extremely miserable life. Unfortunately not only the horses. Many people live in the greatest poverty and the fate of horses is irrevocably linked to that of men.

These horses have very long days of extremely hard work at the end of which they get no or very little food. They are often beaten if not mutilated. The horses become useless during the dead season and the owners are not in the possibility to feed them, so they abandon them. Sometimes tied up without food or water, left to die of starvation. For those people horses are no animals that can suffer pain and fear. They are just instruments that can make their owners earn a living. Illegal slaughter is also a widespread habit. In the region of Bucharest alone every year about 200 horses are abandoned.    

Everywhere in the country one can see exhausted, overworked, underfed, wounded, starving and dead horses. Therefore the vzw Equine Rescue Center  (Belgium) took the initiative to take action in order to help Romanian horses. You can read more on website www.erc-paarden.be. We all protest against the actual horse abuse. The horses and donkeys need food, medical care and a shelter NOW.

Sincerely,
