Topic: European Convention Protecting Pets and Stray Animals

[Derek]

A member of the European Parliament, Mr. Alain Hutchinson, is committed to cooperate with animal welfare and to get a "European Convention Protecting Pets and Stray Animals" passed as soon as possible.



He needs 1 million signatures in order to present the project to the Parliament. That means we need to get hard at work and collect those signatures.



The preamble of the proposed European Constitution states that "The Union plans to advance towards progress and civilisation". Respect for animal life is a hindrance neither to progress nor economic and social development. A Union that wishes to be coherent and to advance on the road of civilization is under every obligation to deal with the issue of animal welfare and to ensure that it is dealt with properly by all of its Member States. An ever progressing Union must respect life in all of its forms and do everything in its power to put a stop to the massacres currently being perpetrated on animals.
