Tell Sophia Municipality to take care of all dogs and cats roaming in our streets

Hi, everybody.

Some of you have visited Bulgaria and its Capital Sophia.
Sophia means "wisdom".
I am born here and I live here. I love my city.

More than 25 years the problem with the street dogs exists.
I remember in 1995 there was a huge discussion in a forum about this matter - how to get rid of the street dogs without killing them or, harming them in any other way.

A shelter or two existed for a while indeed but, a film made in secret by some Britons showed the world how they used to kill dogs in one of these "shelters". This is not a decision!

There are many cases when street dogs attack people and even children. Not to mention dogs as s source of infection.

I don't know who benefits of keeping this situation as it is.

I hope a letter from foreigners to the Minister of Environment and Waters could make a difference.

Can you, please, help us to improve a bit our life here.
Thank you!

I received several feedbacks, thank you all!

"You need to let people know what it is you want done with these dogs to get any signatures. I only sign as a leap of faith that you do not want mass killings of these dogs like in Romania, a country that is now hated globaly for these practices."

Thank you for the message. Yes, you are right, of course.

Should be built or adjust existing buildings for shelters and hire people plus some volunteer work to care after these dogs. And everyone who wants a pet to be able to go there and choose. Simple, isn't it?

But, this thing doesn't work here.
Indeed, there are some shelters. Recently somebody had left 7 new born puppies at our door. 3 of them we gave to an organization called "Ecoravnovesie" (Eco-balance), working for the local municipality.

Then what's wrong?
First, it wasn't easy to find such an organization.
Second, in the streets the situation doesn't change.

So, I don't know what else to do except say "This is wrong"!
Authorities should do something.

Just got news that the mayoress of Sophia had dismissed above mentioned  "Ecoravnovesie"'s boss for incompetence...
We the undersigned kindly ask you to resolve the situation with the street dogs and cats in our Capital! Build shelters, use existing buildings, use the European funds given to you!

Please, give regulations and control for pet traders - stop this trade!

Please do something to make Sophia, the Capital of your country, a pleasant and safe place!

Sophia citizens and visitors have the right to walk!

Please, do not kill the animals!

Thank you
