According to Anastase, deputies decided to remove the draft act from Tuesday’s agenda.
The lower house is the decider for this bill, which was to be approved or rejected this afternoon, after its articles were approved earlier Tuesday. Deputies brought no amendments to the draft act adopted by the public administration committee last month.
According to the bill, stray dogs will be kept in pounds for 30 days and local authorities will decide whether to neuter or euthanize them.
Administration committee president Sulfina Barbu said in April local authorities would decide whether to neuter stray dogs and return them to the streets or euthanize them, after keeping dogs in pounds for 30 days for adoption. Barbu said only gravely ill, aggressive and old dogs would be euthanized.
