The Romanian Chamber of Deputies’ public administration committee on Wednesday drew up a new report on a draft law regarding stray dogs, and decided local authorities may take any measure concerning stray dogs, including euthanize them, only after they consult the citizens.

In June, the lower house decided to postpone a final vote on the bill and send it back to the administration committee for a new report, after it had adopted the articles of the draft act.

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 at that time only gravely ill, aggressive and old dogs would be euthanized.
