The French lawyer Nadia Weler-Strasser announced today that she intends to ask for a “political asylum” abroad for a dog, which should be killed at the request of the prefect of the city of Sarbur (east of France).
According to AFP, a week ago a 13-month-old dog nicknamed Kaya Rotweieler breed was seen without a leash and a muzzle on one of the streets of Sarbura. Two days after that, the local prefect issued a decree that the dog should be killed.
The day before, the administrative court in Strasbourg rejected the request of the Weler-Strasser, who urgently appealed the “sentence” issued. However, the lawyer appealed to the president of the republic with a request to have mercy on the animal. According to Nadia, Veiler-Strasser, several residents of Germany and Switzerland are ready to take Rottweiler.
According to the lawyer, animals have the right to respect, like their two -legged "friends", in accordance with the International Charter of Animal Rights ratified in France. Veiler-Strasser believes that this document allows the prefecture to make a decision on the "expulsion" of a dog, which as a result will be able to get asylum in one of the countries "with less strict legislation."
