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.
