It was brought to the attention of the NGO VEDDAS last week that a rabbit is imprisoned for nearly a year in a school from teaching, exposed to weather and living in conditions that in no way resemble their natural environment or even a home environment where your pet can enjoy a minimum standard of well-being, living in a small cage in the middle 428 students circulate daily through the school and that nothing can learn from the presence of the animal unless the mistaken notion that animals are properties that can be used as a display object.

In the same week, our legal department, represented by Dr. Rogério Gonçalves, hand delivered to Mr.. Edson de Oliveira Grigorio, director of "Black EMEI Manoel", the letter (www.veddas.org.br / cartaemei.pdf) which was received with a deadline for response 48 hours. The letter stated that the animal should be forwarded for adoption to a responsible tutor, which we will follow after the adoption has been held. This period is now due and, as reported in the letter, we will begin the new phase of the campaign, where we have the support of the public to write or call the school leaving comments polite and well-informed about the situation unfolding in the environment of this school hall. The name of the director insists that the error is Sr. Edson de Oliveira Grigorio, e-mail the school is emeimpreto@prefeitura.sp.gov.br and the phone is (11) 3931-3871.

The school principal was warned in a letter sent last week to the Federal Constitution in its article 225 gives the State the protection of the environment. In particular in section VII, describes the protection of fauna and flora. A Federal Law 9.605/98 in his article 32 criminalizes the mistreatment of animals predicting fine or imprisonment, beyond the Municipality of São Paulo Law 14.014/2005 prohibit the display and use of animals of any species and similar views.

If the school insists on keeping the error, will forward the complaint to the Municipal Education, CCZ, COVISA, Municipal Health, Federal Prosecutor and District Attorney. The next step will be conducting protests outside the school, the Bureau of Education and the City of São Paulo, to the end, whatever the cost. As we always do, until we are victorious and the animal is in a home where they can receive the care and attention of which, the condition of mere object Exposure, he was deprived today.

Do your part by writing to emeimpreto@prefeitura.sp.gov.br or by calling (11) 3931-3871 to say (education, but why no outrage) the school principal, Sr. Edson de Oliveira Grigorio, what you think about the act he insists prolong, particularly on the message it to children to keep a rabbit trapped as display object on a property that by law could not keep pets on the premises.
