SARAJEVO — Two intoxicated youths duct-taped a firework in a German shepherd’s mouth and blew off his face. But the torture didn’t stop there. The poor dog, known as Vucko, wandered for five days, unable to eat and with maggots infecting the meaty pulp of his ruined face. Vucko was finally picked up by authorities and euthanized after vets were unable to perform reconstructive surgery.
Here is EXTREMELY GRAPHIC footage of Vucko being examined by vets. Notice the firework’s shell casing still embedded in the dog’s head.
We must bring the animal abusers to justice and ensure that this inhumanity is never repeated; sadly, animal welfare laws are practically nonexistent in much of Eastern Europe. Sign this petition urging Bosnian authorities to hunt down the guilty parties, expose the severity of animal abuse, and create proper legislation that will protect animals. Don’t let Vucko die in vain!
Pas Vucko je uzasno stradao kad neki su zalepili vatromet za usta od psa I zapalili to. Od explozije je pas tesko bijo ranjen u lici. 5 dana se vrtio u ulice od Sarajevo dok su ga nasli. Na zalost nista nije se moglo ucinit da se ga spasi i Vucka se trebalo eutanizirat. Te ljude koji su ucinili tu uzast bi trebalo da se osudi.

Wording – Apply the Law on Animal Welfare (2009)
I just signed the following petition addressed to: Chairman of the Council of Ministers of BiH, Dr. Nikola Špirić.
I am deeply concerned by the most recent event of animal abuse in Ilidza, Sarajevo, where a group of unidentified perpetrators put a firecracker into the mouth of a stray dog, which exploded and completely destroyed his upper jaw. The dog was found after a couple of days and taken to the vet, where he was euthanized due to excruciating caused by this inoperable wound.
Sadly, this is not an isolated act of violence but the mayhem of ongoing neglect and animal abuse. The signatories of this petition demand strict implementation of the existing Law governing the welfare of animals. It is of major concern to the citizens throughout BiH that the laws are not upheld and that the crimes of animal abuse go unpunished. Such violence keeps spreading with disastrous consequences both to people and to animals. pose a serious threat to the civil society.
Evidence of the connection between violence against animals and violence against humans is overwhelming. A growing body of research has shown that people who abuse animals rarely stop there. According to mental health professionals, animal abuse constitutes aggressive and antisocial behaviour, which is a reliable predictor of violence against people. Abusing an animal out of fun in their youth was the most statistically salient motive for predicting later interpersonal violence as adults. Sources are many, to name just a few:
The Link Between Animal Abuse and Human Violence
A volume of contributions to the 2007 international conference at Oxford (Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics), on the relationship between animal abuse and human violence.
Childhood Animal Cruelty Methods and Their Link to Adult Interpersonal Violence

The Effect of Inmates’ Self-Reported Childhood and Adolescent Animal Cruelty
International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology
http://ijo.sagepub.com/content/52/2/175.abstract
I urge you to take steps that the Law on Animal Welfare introduced in 2009 is applied in this particular case, as well as on all other cases of animal cruelty towards stray dogs and cats.

Torturer of 100+ Dogs Alexey Vedula Deserves Maximum Punishment!
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/the-strictest-punishment-for-alexey-vedula/
Target: Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich & General Public Prosecutor Victor Pshonka
Sponsored by: People for the ethical treatment of animals in Ukraine!
UKRAINE — Since October 2011, Alexey Vedula, a 19-year-old student, has been publishing atrocious videos on the Internet which feature him torturing and killing dogs in various extremely cruel ways. Alexey is filmed throwing puppies on the railway and watching trains run over their little bodies. He is also seen cutting off their tails and paws, ripping open their stomachs and pulling out their eyes. All the while, he and his friends make cynical comments and laugh.
Alexey Vedula tortured over 100 dogs to death and published these videos on the site Vkontakte.ru, where he and his friends discussed new methods of torture. More information here.
Because of the indifference of Ukrainian authorities, this man is still free! The strictest punishment for his actions is a small fine of 850 gryvnas ($100 US) or a six-month imprisonment. This young man is sick and we all know he will never stop. It is a well-established fact that animal torture is an early sign of violent criminal behavior. If Alexey finds pleasure in torturing and killing helpless little creatures, will he eventually turn to children?
But there is ONE MORE THING. There were a lot of precedents of torture and killing animals in Ukraine and NO ONE had ever gone to jail. That`s why we need to fight futher for all the animals which are tortured and killed by those who are not afraid of the law. We want to change current part of the law about cruel animals treatment:
1. The minimum term of imprisonment for the cruel animal treatment which leads to death should be at least 1-3 years without a chance of probation.
2. Every branch of power shall obey this law because now most of the claims about animal mistreatment are ignored.
3. Ukrainian officials who are responsible for the compliance with this law shall be punished accordingly for ignoring the failures in a form of fine, and if repeated, – in a form of dismissal.
If we don`t change it now, we will not be able to change it for the long time to come.
We want Alexey Vedula isolated from society, in a maximum security prison, for as long as possible!
We want change the law about animal mistreatment in Ukraine and protect the country from sadists and maniacs who start with animal torture and then switch to people! less

Speciesism must end.
Criminals must be jailed, and if they do killing sentient being – must be isolated to the end of their life , because criminals are unwanted persons in a civilized society. Or if criminals walk free then human society is in general just a speciesistic rabble .
C’est grave de laisser ce genre d’individu en liberté. Sachant que les crimes commis sur ces pauvres chiens seront probablement commis un jour sur un humains.
I can’t believe people do these things, those kids need to be locked in a padded room for the rest of their lives. I wanna personally hunt them down…I’m deeply saddend by this.
I am losing all hope for the human race when we can produce monsters such as these. The authorities in the Ukraine also have a lot to answer for……THERE WILL BE KARMA
One of the pointers for a psycopath is animal abuse. A pre-cursor to abusing humans and serial killers.
…….. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY…. OF PARENTS…. TO TEACH THEIR CHILDREN HOW TO TREAT OTHERS…. I WOULD INCLUDE FINES / PENALTIES OF PARENTS….. REGARDLESS OF HOW OLD THEIR CHILDREN ARE…. BECAUSE OFTEN THE CHILDREN GET THE IDEA FROM THE PARENTS AND PEERS…… THESE BOYS WERE OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING….. THIS IS MORE OF A SOCIETY — WITHOUT — A CONSCIENCE……. FROM THIS ALL THE WAY TO WALL STREET………. THE BOYS OUGHT TO BE SENTENCED TO A VET CLINIC / ANIMAL SHELTER FOR 3 YEARS…….. TO GET THE POINT… 6 MONTHS IS NOT ENOUGH FOR LIFE CHANGING……… AND IF THEY DO NOT SHOW UP = 10 YRS IN JAIL AS A MOTIVATION…. THO I DO NOT BELIEVE JAIL IS A GOOD IDEA…. BUT THE THREAT OF IT IS…… THIS IS WHY I HAVE BECOME A HERMIT OF SORTS….. SO MUCH HEART ACHE FOR THE IGNORANCE………
THANK you. We need to find the parents as well. Fine them within an inch of their lives. For those who don’t care about animals, remember, these boys will come for your kids — and women! — next! They’re just in training for murder and rape.
It is apparent that the legal system in Serbia is seriously lacking in correcting this man’s actions.
Is not there one person in Serbia with the courage to kill this man in a back alley or something? Are all Serbs like this in their hearts?
This looks very bad to the world.
If I was there I would erase him from the planet without any guilt or remorse.
how sick can people be to commit such an act.
simply disgusting!!!!! Bosnia must do better then this? this kid will start on people in time! this country really needs to enforce their laws on the abuse of animals! this is far more ugly then anything i could ever dreamed of!!!!
THAT KID SHOULD BE IN PRISON ! ENOUGH SAID AND THE PARETS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS DISGUSTIG MIND OF TORTURING ANIMALS!!
idk if this is true
One to 3 years in prison for torturing and killing a dog? That’s IT? Are you KIDDING? That’s a slap on the wrist and not worth the taxpayers’ money for the process. Someone as sick as that little bastard should be imprisoned for LIFE or worse – so he isn’t given the chance to hurt any other dogs AND prevent him and those like him from ever having another opportunity to kill more animals which would probably also lead to killing defenseless people – like children! HELLO?!?
wow are you serious… he should be put to death b.c hes killing the poor helpless animals.. this makes me sick i feel so bad for the animals out there. people really need to get themselves together. why hurt a poor inocent animal?
poor dog had to live with half his face off not able to eat or drink b/c kids are to careless and don’t think what will happen after … This dog did not deserves this and put tough all that he did … the kids who did this should know what it is like!!
yes they should
yes they should!
six years in prison serously? he should be in their for life!
this is extemly sad like don’t people have a life exepts ruining animals lifes
