euthanasia

Romanian animal rights organization Vier Pfoten said Wednesday it would be cheaper and more effective in the long run to spay and neuter stray dogs in Romania’s capital Bucharest rather than euthanize them, as a draft law sent to Parliament by the capital’s prefect would have it.

The euthanasia of a patient, on request, will be punishable by one to five years imprisonment, as the members of the Parliament subcommittee analyzing the legal codes reduced the prison terms proposed by the Romanian Ministry of Justice.
