Romania is once again in a dilemma over whether to kill, save or adopt the millions of stray dogs that stalk its nation.
Galvanized by the tragic and unnecessary death of a four-year old boy possibly by dogs loose on the street (although the truth is still murky), the movement to euthanize dogs has now won Government approval to allow its councils to kill all strays.
‘Man’s Best Friend’ – a documentary filmed between 2011 and 2012 – outlines how this battle has played out before, and reveals all the options for dealing with this complex and emotional zoological disaster.
I directed this film, which you can see here on Vimeo, together with Ovidiu Dunel-Stancu.
