Following the dramatic events of last week, Save the Dogs’ President calls on World Tennis Champion Simona Halep inviting her to take action against the killing of the strays in her city.
Dear Simona,
I am writing you from Romania, where my association has been working for 16 years on behalf of the abandoned animals.
In this moment you are definitely female tennis champion nr. 1 and your talent has all eyes on it. You are the pride of your country and young people consider you an example to follow.
Today, dear Simona, you have another great opportunity: to become nr. 1 also for the rights of the abandoned animals in your city Constanta and use your influence for a better change.
Unfortunately your city is well known for having managed the stray dogs phenomenon in a very cruel and inhumane way. 
Since many years the kennel “Biobaza” has been a death place, where animals used to await for the end in miserable conditions.
Our complaints and the mobilization of many Romanians managed to obtain the close down of this place. Yet unfortunately a new similar place was opened in Ovidiu, close to Constanta.
The pictures shot in this place, showing dying animals surrounded by excrements, spread all over the globe. The “Green Life Recycling” company receives a huge amount of money to capture and kill the stray dogs, money that is not being used to improve the living conditions inside the kennel.
In this terrible place arrive thousands of dogs from all the county, included Cernavoda, the city where our association operates.
Public money is being used to enforce only a part of the law, namely the one that allows euthanasia, while the part regarding compulsory sterilization and the prohibition of abandonment is being totally ignored.
What I am asking you is to take action against this situation and to invite the mayor of Constanta and the mayors of the entire county to close the contracts with those companies that accommodate the animals waiting for death in such appalling conditions.
Please, tell municipalities that they have to work in order to prevent the phenomenon and not only manage the “top of the iceberg”, condemning the animals because of uncivilized human behaviour.
If mayors want to continue killing the dogs we might not succeed in stopping them but we do have the right to demand the respect of the law, which clearly enounces the minimum conditions for the functioning of the kennels.
I hope you may welcome this call and become the champion of animals’ rights in your country.
Sincerely,
Help please!!!!
Thank you for sending this letter to Simona – it is my hope that Simona is a compassionate person, who will use her voice to speak for the voiceless and innocent souls of her country.
Please Simona – speak up for these innocent Best Friends of man, who arent responsible for their situation; really it is the irresponsible humans who have created their unforgivable situation XXXX
you are in a position to do something for the abused animals in your country, change the laws and make people accountable, the world is watching
Jag vill också att du ska hjälpa de stackars djuren så mycket det bara går …vårt hopp ar du…snälla snälla snälla
Human is a disgusting race!!!
Please Simona as the world has heard so much about you and now winning Wimbledon can you help raise awareness of the dog shelters in your country and to help those poor souls who did not ask to be treated so cruelly
I have a Romanian small dog who was put on a garbage tip and left to die. She is the most loveliest and loyal dog to me after my husband died. I saved her and she saved me.
All the best for the future to you and if you can help in some way it would be greatly appreciated.
