Dear Sirs,
 
I took knowledge that you control the population of stray dogs in Sofia,
by poisoning them. This is outrageous. To avoid the excess of population of
dogs the correct methods are spay/neuter, not murder.

Yes, to kill animals it's a murder. Animals are sentient beings, that feel
joy, happiness, fear, pain, suffer. They are not different from human beings. 
We cannot do to non human animals what we refuse to do to human animals.
 
I also was informed that the Pope will visit Sofia in the end of May and
due to that fact, the authorites of Sofia, are killing more and more animals
to keep the streets clean. I do not believe that the Pope would be very happy
to know that his visit is contributing to murder animals. They also are
creatures of God, just like us.
 
I urge to stop immediately this slaughter.
 

Sincerely,
Henrique Borges, Portugal
