In Bucharest - the capital city of Romania - the problem of stray dogs (''maidanezi'' in Romanian) has been acknowledged for the past decades.〔(How Bucharest ended one of the world's worst stray dog problems )〕 The number of stray dogs has been reduced drastically in 2014,〔(The number of stray dogs, cut down to half )〕 albeit the fact that 20000〔(Stray dogs continue to be problematic: 20000 remained, 16000 have been euthanized )〕 stray dogs have not been accounted for as of late 2014. The issue has not only been a heated subject of debate in Bucharest, but also on a nationwide scale.〔(How not to hold a public debate on the stray dogs problem )〕 == Background == The problem has been created as a result of the systematization, a policy imposed during the Communist regime that ruled Romania for decades.〔(Die Welt: since Ceausescu knocked down the Historical Centrum, stray dogs terrorize Bucharest )〕 The problem escalated in 2004, when the legislative framework that allowed the euthanasia of unclaimed stray dogs was repealed.〔(The legality of the euthanasia law: CCR )〕〔(Ponta accuses the former mayor of Bucharest - Basescu - of not solving the stray dog issue )〕 On 10 September 2013, the Parliament of Romania approved the Stray Dogs Euthanasia Law with an absolute majority.〔(Stray dogs euthanasia law voted in legislative assembly )〕 On 24 September 2013, the Constitutional Court of Romania has deemed the law to be in compliance with the Constitution of Romania.〔(Will we get rid of stray dogs? )〕 On 25 September 2013, the President of Romania signed the Stray Dogs Euthanasia Law.〔(The stray dog euthanasia law is constitutional )〕 Prior to 25 September 2013 (see below), the legislative framework of Romania did not allow the euthanasia of unclaimed stray dogs. The standard procedure stated that stray dogs were to be captured by an animal control officer. The dogs would then be taken to animal shelters operated independently by animal rights NGOs.〔(Dogcatchers catching dogs )〕 At the shelter, the dogs were due to be sterilized and - if no one legally adopted them - they would be sent back on the streets or sent abroad for adoption.〔(Where do the stray dogs end up? )〕〔(Stray dogs, sacrificed at the expense of our negligence )〕〔(Der Spiegel: Bucharest stray dogs hunt )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Street dogs in Bucharest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
