Cease the killing of Romania Street dogs at Sidex plant
Steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal, owner of Mittal Steel Company Ltd. headquartered in London, England, is allowing a mass-slaughter of homeless animals at his steel plant Ispat Sidex in Galati, Romania.
Officials at Ispat International's SIDEX Steel Plant -owned by Mittal Steel Ltd, are poisoning and killing dogs in Galati by the thousands. Many of these dogs have already been spayed/neutered and vaccinated by a local animal welfare organization. Plus, some of these dogs are owned by local residents.
Despite numerous letters and emails, officials at Mittal Steel Company Ltd have not responded to anyone, including Romania Animal Rescue, Inc., and refuse to comment on the mysterious disappearance of the dogs at the Sidex plant. Over a hundred letters have already been sent to Mr. Mittal from concerned people across the world to inform him of the tragedy occurring at his Romania plant, but he has not responded.
Witnesses saw men from Sidex empty the dead animals out of a truck. There have also been disappearances of strays from the land where SIDEX is located and surrounding area to unknown destinations.
A local citizen witnessed almost 100 dead dogs being thrown in a pile about 2.5 Km. outside Galati by two local people. Further investigation determined that the dogs were poisoned. A number of the dogs found poisoned outside Galatzi match the description of dogs that had disappeared from the Sidex plants garden. Some Sidex workers even recognized their own pets among the dead bodies.
We the undersigned urge Mr. Mittal to work with the local animal welfare group to humanely deal with the huge overpopulation of stray dogs at the Sidex factory and throughout Galati and cease the killing of Romanian street dogs immediately
