Brcko – 250 Dogs to be Killed by Local Authorities

Posted on May 25, 2008 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

See also the BaZIL 14th May entry in this section.

The authorities of Brcko have caught around 200 – 250 dogs and put all these dogs in one  big dark, dirty area of a food factory –  without food and water, without veterinary care , dogs are fighting each other and even eating each other.

Now the authorities plan to kill all these dogs, in a pathetic attempt to show how they are able to solve problem of stray dogs without ARKA, the animal welfare organisation.

That is the thoughtless actions of politicians of Brcko.

SAV are asking if anyone can come forward and take action for the dogs of Brcko.

Within the next few days, we know that all the dogs will be killed, and the politicians will state that there were never any dogs around in the first place.

E mails should be sent to Mr. Neil Parish MEP and to Mr. Alain Hutchinson MEP at Brussels, asking them to take action on behalf of the EU for the dogs and cats being killed against legislation in the Balkans.

 

Neil Parish MEP e mail –

(Mr. Parish is the President of the EU Eurogroup for Animal Welfare)

neil.parish@europarl.europa.eu

Alain Hutchinson MEP e mail –

alain.hutchinson@europarl.europa.eu

(Mr. Hutchinson is attempting to bring in EU wide new legislation for the protection of Stray animals).

This will be legislation that new member states will have to show they are complying with before they join the EU.  The above actions show us that they are not complying with any animal welfare legislation.

Photo – the excellent ARKA shelter – now considered unnecessary by the Brcko authorities.

They want to kill dogs rather than involve ARKA.

 New photographs on 23rd May are:

 

 

AND THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THIS IS:-

  
First photo – The Mayor;

 

 

Other photographs – the suffering his decisions have caused, including puppies being eaten by other starving dogs.
Is this the action of EU member states of the future ?
Mr. Mayor – your actions will keep Croatia OUT OF THE EU !!
The Law of Veterinary of the Republic of Croatia has now been checked.
SAV contacts now have a copy of the legislation.
In agreement with the Law of Veterinary of the Republic of Croatia:-
anti-rabies vaccinations must be provided for FREE – the same  as in Serbia – but, it is alleged that vets are asking for money to provide this.
Other people in Croatia have informed that vets everywhere are asking them for additional money to vaccinate, even though the vets receive money from the republics tax payers budget to pay for the vaccinations in the first place ! – and as such, the vaccinations should be provided free by the vets from the republics budget.

The situation in Croatia for anti-rabies vaccination should be the same as in Serbia – free  – and in agreement with the Law of Veterinary, because activists insisted on the implementation of this law.

Microchipping of stray dogs  must be provided from the municipality budget – also the same as in Serbia, because ‘communities’ are ‘owners’ of stray dogs – not any one specific person, not any specific organisation, but the communities – and that means all the citizens of the community – they are all owners of the stray dogs, and as such, the municipality budget must provide for their welfare.

 

Please see other news items on Benkovac for contact e mail information.
Dear all; please read the following which has just arrived, and also view more photographs at the tierhilfe-benkovac link given in the following text.
regards – SAV team.

Dear Friends, An Austrian association Tierhilfe-Sueden (they are focused on animal rescue in the Balkans/ Southeastern Europe                        

has been helping the shelter “Benkovac” in Croatia by supplying food and medicine, though the current situation is quite awful.
Here you can read the short report in English and view some images that are not pleasant at all.                        

Here are the descriptions of the pictures: dogs are eating their new born puppies, most of them are severely injured, for some of them it was too late, and dogs have started to eat each other.

If you would like to help, please contact them

Thank you for your attention and help.

Love,

Miwa

New Photographs from NOA of Bosnian Horses

Posted on May 20, 2008 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Photos just received from our activist friends at NOA in Banja Luka. You can clearly see
the horses and the conditions they are in.

Also in the photographs are activist from NOA.

SAV would like to thank our friends at NOA for making the difference and saving horses lives.

EMERGENCY APPEAL – 90 horses Dying of Starvation in Bosnia and Herzegovina

—————————————-

Lipizzaner Horses at Vucijak Farm in Bosnia and Herzegovina are being kept in
appalling conditions, suffering from starvation and fatigue. The horses
are dying. These horses need our help urgently. Three foals have already
died due to starvation and conditions at the farm  more are expected to
die in the days to come.

Why is this happening?

After war broke out in Yugoslavia in 1992, Vucijak farm has
not received the support of the state. It was once a European breeding
centre for the famous Lippizaner horse, and has been selectively
breeding these animals since WWII, but now it lies in all but ruins, the
horses undernourished and dying, and the buildings collapsing around
them. The farm is owned by City Hall Prnjavor and Government of
Republika Srpska, both of whom are acting as though there is more than
enough time to sort out the problems on this farm. Funds that have been
raised in the past by NGOs and other welfare groups have disappeared
into the administration, and no spending on welfare has been observed.
Add to this the fact that farm employees have not been paid for many
months at a time, and are currently on strike. They have not allowed
volunteer workers into the farm to look after the horses as they see the
horses plight as a lever for their own failing livelihoods. This means
that in addittion to the pitifully meagre budget available for the care
of these horses, they must undergo an even greater hardship while being
used as pawns in this administrative farce. Thankfully, volunteers will
be allowed back onto the farm as of next week.http://www.ergela-djakovo.hr/?/vijesti/&j=3D1

NOA, a Bosnian animal welfare organisation and member of WSPA
have negotiated an agreement with the authorities to allow their
volunteer taskforce onto the farm. They also have a policy of
transparency about spending. They will therefore ensure that any
donations made to help these horses will go directly to rehabiltating
the animals, and thereafter, the farm. They will provide interested
parties who donate funds with expenses reports of the whole project on
request (once it is finished)

NOA would like to help organise VUCIJAK farm in cooperation
with other interested parties into a farm that is organized and run in
the way that a farm such as Djakovo farm (see link below) operates.
         

Donate Funds – Bank information for donations to be made to are as follows:

This has to be done via your bank please refere to

 

 

 

Donate Supplies – See list below if you can
donate any of the supplies listed below, please email:
