Travellers blog to
Romania – Please bare in mind all the verifiable evidence that this site contains when reading this persons blog such as the fact the large shelter is fully paid for by ArcelorMittal Company; that according to Dana herself, $400,000 in donations were received last year in 2010. If ArcelorMittal has been funding the cost for their large shelter of 500 – 600 dogs, what were the hundreds of thousands of dollars Dana received in donations used for? Time and time again well-intentioned volunteers have tried to help the financially-strapped ROLDA shelter in Galati, only to find in the end that ROLDA is not financially strapped. Donors have been sending thousands of Euro worth of supplies and food, only to find they are not needed or being used. During the time of the big freeze, another Galati group had to step in to rescue the dying dogs from the Mittal steel plant as Dana was not interested.Unbeknown to the writer of this blog at the time, she has just confirmed what other volunteers have said of the conditions in Rolda shelters time and time again.
We need to stop this evil person!! Can anyone get to her at all?
Cruel, heartless, evil, deceitful bitch there is special place for people like you……HELL!
I REALLY question what’s being written here – Does NOT sound believable, How do I know the person writing this is not lying trying to smear Dana? GIVE ME UNDENIABLE PROOF – otherwise I will have to think this is just one group trying to smear another group – ALL to common in the AR world – animals always get hurt
Sheila, have you not seen the documents section? Have you not seen what Dana herself has admitted to? Have you not seen the large shelter con pages and looked for yourself at Danas site and seen her FB postings…..We are not going to spoon feed you. You have a brain and eyes, work it out for yourself.
What you choose to believe is up to you. We are not here to convince you, we have just aded the evidence..If you choose to be blind to it, that is up to you.
SHEILA – I was a volunteer in May and I saw with my own eyes how the dogs suffer horribly in Dana’s “shelter” (Mittal’s shelter actually). She shows absolutely no interest for the dogs’ wellbeing (they are despeartely hungry, some have open wounds, some just sit shivering – scared or sick, there are fights, they get their heads stuck in the wire mesh, terrified of the workser (who feed them every day), they never get exercise and there are too many crammed into each kennel) and can be quite cruel when it suits her purposes. It IS totally unbelieveable how different the real Dana is from the personae she has created on internet. Although I have seen this with my own eyes, having several other witnesses that could tell me that it wasn’t only me going completely mad, I still find it hard to believe. It is THAT horrible. I too find it strange and stupid all the slandering that goes on in AR and want to stay out of it, but this Rolda scam is just so bad I cannot not try to inform the naive animal lovers and Rolda supporters in my country about the truth (although of course the messenger is the first to be shot when the news is bad) by sharing the link to this not very pleasant site

Oh My God
I will have to go through this I was her UK contact for a number of years and resigned abouta year ago
Hi veronica
Do you remember that I did a concert to raise funds for Rolda? nearly £800. So it has gone to pay for dog abuse & her lavish life style. When did she turn so corrupt? After ronaldo’s death?
Well, Anja wrote to ArcelorMittal, the company that owns the shelter, the concerns that we all have about the situation for the dogs at the ArcelorMittal shelter that is managed by ROLDA. They replied that changes will be implemented.What changes we do not know as of yet, but this is at least a good step in the right directions. Thanks to this expose’, the situation is being reviewed and we will stay on top of it. We are hoping that ArcelorMittal will allow monitors from Galati to go to the shelter to make sure the weaker dogs are actually able to eat.
Please also note that this letter from ArcelorMittal also confirms once again that they, and not donors, are paying for the shelter and all its expenses. ROLDA is not and never was in need of donations for this large shelter.

Thank you for writing to us and for offering your input.
ArcelorMittal Galati, as a responsible member of the community, is commited to ensure the best possible conditions, veterinary services and care for the tramp dogs in the area.
We are currently performing a review at the dog shelter and, so far, some potential improvements were identified. We will work with ROLDA for implementing them.
Best regards,

I am disgusted to read about the abuse of these poor dogs. I love dogs and have done so my whole life. I could not ever think to hurt them. I am from England but have lived in Romania for the past year. For a country of supposed dog lovers i feel sick to my stomach about the abuse i have seen and heard of here it is so very wrong. We have saved 2 dogs since being here one was found in a black rubbish bag filled with freezing cold dirty water drained from the lake, tied up and dumped in my daughters apartment rubbish container to die (She was 5 weeks old)! The other was from an adoption person (whom we have now found to be a racket to make money) that dog is so terrified of us that i cannot start to believe what he endured in his short puppy life with them. I wish i could help and save these poor abused dogs but i would not know where to start as the problem here in Romania is so very bad. I love all dogs and all you evil people should leave them alone they are such loyal and loving creatures and reading these comments have disturbed me so much. The Romanian Government need to get this dog abuse and stray situation sorted out as a priority. xxxxx my love for all dogs always.
