Even I was so tired, I wasn`t able to sleep much tonight. Got home about ten hours ago from Tecuci, my soul town. Dont know why I feel so close to this town. It must be the mission or something like that. Anyway, I feel so sad, so down, so disappointed specialy of the people who directly work in the public shelter. Last time when I was there, last month, the dogs seemed to be in a better shape, I mean not skinny, almost of them were looking really good and I was so happy to see that even they were incarcerated in those kennels, they were better fed and didnt have any injuries, as in the past. But now.... now its bad again, actually its worse than the first time. There are emaciated dogs in almost every kennel, many kennels have two, three and even four very skinny and one or two fat dogs. It`s obviously that the strongest dogs who fight more for the food get more and have a good shape. But the rest of them are so week... have no chance to fight anymore and are sentenced to death. I saw two dogs with multiple open and infected wounds. I took one of them in my arms and brought him into the vet office. The wounds were very infected with necrotic tissue and smelling as a dead body. I had to take off my coat while I was traveling back home, as I was smelling of carrion. The vet cut his hair and cleaned the necrotic area, put some spray all over and administrated him an injection with antibiotic. Then the dog was put separately into a transport cage, until they were supposed to prepare a kennel for him and I guess the other two dogs who had bites. I was looking at those people who work there and were supposed to take care of these animals. They are payed for this. This is their job… they have to check these animals and feed them and give them medication when they need, they have to be there for these animals. They get their money from our money… public money… And from what I saw in the shelteryesterday and in the past.. and when I see that the mayor just runs away from me when I want to speak with him about these animals needs… for God sake, they feel the unger, the pain, the cold… he, the mayor, just doesn’t have time for these… I am so disappointed, Im so sad and frustrated. This can`t go on like this. It just cant. We have to do something to save as much as we can save… There are so many, gosh! All these dogs are victims of the people irresponsibility. We are in Romania and I know it`s our responssability to be aware of what is happening in this country, in our country, in our town, and this is one more reason why I feel so down. My people, too many people here are so unkind and so uncompassionate and they do nothing to help, to make a difference. They just don’t care. And we, the ones who care… we hardly manage to feed and treat the bunch of animlas that we rescued in time and because we didn’t find good homes for them, we kept them in our houses. We are overwhelmed, dear friends! We are some of those overwhelmed animal lovers who are still looking for support to help these animals. I`m talking here about making a shelter. I`m not in Tecuci, I`m in Bucharest now studying at the vet school. I still have four years of studying until I will be able to hep them this way, too. But I`m just not able to take them out of my mind. I know its going to be a titanic work for me, to study and also manage a shelter, but I guess I have no choise.. I wished there weren’t these problems, I wished there people were responsible and take care of these animals, but they are just messing around with these animals. I just can`t stand this. This is too much for them and too much for me. I`ve seen enough. I want and I will start to make the plan for building a Spay/Neuter Center and an Adoption Center – a safe place for all the animals where they will get the care they need and they will be promoted for adoption . I just can`t stand this situation anymore. As I said, I realize this is our responsibility, but, as I can see the situation in all Romania, I don’t know if we are going to make this come true. We need your help, good people. As little as it is, as little as you can and want to share with these unfortunate animals. I have to take the children to school now and go to my vet school. We talk later tonight. Hope you can share with me your opinion and give me an advice. That would help me a lot. Thank you all!
