1 | Armenia: Animal Activists Demand End to Stray Dog Killings | Armenia:Mangataka Ny Hanatsaharana Ny Famonoana Ny Alika Mpirenireny Ireo Mafana Fo Mpiaro Biby |
2 | In the last few days animal activists are making unprecedented use of social media in the South Caucasus by demanding that the inhumane killing of stray dogs end by flooding Yerevan mayor Karen Karapetyan's Facebook page with requests and appeals. | Fampiasana ireo fitaovam-pifaneraserana ara-tsosialy tsy mbola fahita no notontosan'ireo mafàna fo mpiaro biby any Kaokazy Atsimo andro vitsivitsy lasa izay, tamin'ny fangatahan'izy ireo ny hanatsaharana tsy misy hatak'andro ny famonoana miharo habibiana mianjady ny alika mpirenireny tamin'ny alalan'ny fanesehana fangatahana sy antso tao amin'ny pejy Facebook-n'i Karen Karapetyan ben'ny tanànan'i Yerevan |
3 | Activists have even created an event entitled “Complaint to the Mayor About Dog Killings,” which more than 800 people are virtually attending, continuously leaving messages on Karapetyan's wall in the hope that their cyberactivism will bring about change. | Namorona hetsika mitondra ny anarana hoe “Fitarainana ho an'ny Ben'ny tanàna momba ny fandripahana alika ” ireo mafàna fo ka 800 mahery ireo olona efa mandray anjara tamin'ny alalan'ny fandefasana hafatra tsy ankijanona tao amin'ny rindrin-dRamatoa Karapetyan miaraka amin'ny fanantenana fa hitondra fiovàna ity fomba fitolomana amin'ny alalan'ny cyber ity. |
4 | “On the recommendation of the Mayor, the slaughter of dogs has begun in the city,” the event says. | “Araka ny baikon'ny Ben'ny tanàna, efa nanomboka ny famonoana ireo alika teto an-tanàna,” hoy ilay hetsika.” |
5 | “There hasn't been a slaughter this big before. | Mbola tsy nisy famonoana goavana tahaka ity hatramin'izay. |
6 | They have developed new technology to capture dogs.” | Namolavola tetika vaovao mihitsy izy ireo hisamborana ireo alika.” |
7 | Having been in office only since December 2010, Karapetyan's popularity is declining among animal lovers as one commenter notes. | Raha vao tamin'ny Desambra 2010 no teo amin'io toerana io izy, nietry sahady ny lazan'i Karapetyan eo amin'ireo mpitia biby, araka ny filazan'ny mpanao fanamarihana iray. |
8 | Some comments suggest activists are ready and willing to help the city alleviate the problem in a humane way. | Ny fanamarihana sasany aza dia milaza hoe vonona ary mazoto mihitsy ireo mafàna fo hanampy ny tanàna amin'ny fandravonana ny olana mifanaraka amin'ny fomba maha olombelona. |
9 | A photo of the killing and collecting of street dogs posted on mayor Karen Karapetyan's wall | Ny zavatra alefa ao amin'ny takelakan-dRamatoa Ben'ny tanàna dia tsy voatokana ho an'ny mponin'ny Armenia irery ihany. |
10 | The activity on the mayor's page is not just limited to Armenia's residents. | |
11 | With no shelter system or citywide spay and neuter initiatives, street dogs in Yerevan roam the small city in search of food and shelter, eventually procreating. | Nohon'ny tsy fisian'ny rafi-ponenana na fanafody iarovana ny tanàna manontolo sy ny fanapahan-kevitra tsy miandàny, mitady sakafo sy fonenana ao amin'ny tanàna kelin'ny Yerevan ireo alika mpirenireny, izay mitombo taranaka. |
12 | “Save the Animals,” an independent shelter started by musician and activist Nune Mehrabyan after the killings began in 1999, holds around 200 dogs and operates on donations, which are scant. | “Vonjeo ny Biby ,” fialofana tsy miankina iray noforonin'i Nune Mehrabyan, mpihira sady mafàna fo amin'ny fiarovana ny biby taorian'ny nanombohan'ilay famonoana ny taona 1990, mitàna alika efa ho 200 ary mivelona amin'ny fanomezana, izay tsy ampy…. |
13 | We desire to live in a civilized country, where even vulnerable, helpless animals shall not be exposed to murder. | Te-hiaina ao anaty firenena mandroso izahay, ka na dia ny tena marefo, malemy indrindra aza tsy tokony ho vonoina. |
14 | We appeal to you to support our organization for the sake of helping our little friends | Manao antso avo aminareo izahay hanohana ny fikambananay ho fanampiana ireo namantsika madinika ireo. |
15 | The government contracts out a company called “Unigraph X” to deal with street dogs, notes their website. | Nanangana sampan-draharaha iray hisahana ireo alika mpirenireny antsoina hoe “Unigraph X” ny fanjakana, hoy ny tranokalam-pifandraisany. |
16 | Since 2006 the company has been declared as the winner of competitions announced by the State Procurement Agency and has implemented the sterilization of wandering animals in the administrative territory of Yerevan | Hatramin'ny taona 2006 io sampan-draharaha io no voafidy ho mpandresy tamin'ireo fifaninanana nokarakarain'ny foibem-panjakana ary nametraka ny fanafody tsy mampiteraka ho an'ny alika mpirenireny tao amin'ny tanànan'i Yerevan. |
17 | However, activists claim the company kills dogs instead, as Traces of Life notes [am]: | Na dia izany aza anefa, aleon'ireo mafàna fo ireo io sampan-draharaha io mamono alika noho izany, toy ny anamarihan'ny Traces of Life azy [am]: |
18 | Have you noticed that the number of street dogs isn't decreasing, yet the money from the state budget that's provided for the organization “Unigraph-X” goes missing. | Tsy tsikaritrareo ve fa tsy nihena akory ny isan'ny alika mpirenireny, nefa tsy hita izay nanjavonan'ny tahirim-bolam-panjakana natokana ho amin'io sampan-draharaha “Unigraph-X” io. |
19 | Special electrical chords are used in one part of the city, Unigraph uses the same methods to hunt dogs. | Tariby manokana mpitondra herinaratra no ampiasaina amin'ny faritra sasany, izany koa no ampiasain'ny Unigraph hihazàna alika. |
20 | Maybe we live in the jungle, that we're killing so many dogs, but there are still so many that remain on the streets. | Angamba miaina anaty ala mikitroka isika, ary izay no amonoantsika alika maro be, nefa mbola betsaka ihany ireo mandeha eny an-dàlana. |
21 | We still don't understand again and again where that money goes. | Mbola tsy azontsika foana hoe mankaiza ireo vola ireo. |
22 | But we let them make us look like fools, and I'm tired of it. | Nefa avelantsika mandray antsika ho toy ny adala ry zareo, ary leo an'izany aho. |
23 | People, dogs want to live. | O rey olona e, mba te ho velona ny alika. |
24 | They should act this way with yours and your children too. | Izany no tokony hataon-dry zareo amin'ny ankohonanareo sy ny zanakareo koa…. |
25 | The activists are in the process of collecting signatures against the killing of street dogs, but are also facing some opposition on Karapetyan's page with comments that reflect the cultural stigma still attached to street animals in Armenia. | Manao fanangonan-tsonia ireo mafàna fo ho fandàvana ny famonoana ireo alika mpirenireny, nefa koa miatrika fanoherana ao amin'ny takelak'i Karapetyan miaraka aminà fanehoan-kevitra maneho henatra ara-kolotoraly mbola araikitra amin'ny alika mpirenireny ao Armenia. |
