SUBJECT: YOUR SUPPORT TO NO KILL SPAY AND NEUTER STRATEGY – in order to legally practice general public benefit
Dear Sir/Madam,
we are asking You for Your public support, declarative and practical, of the nacional No Kill spay and neuter strategy, in the matter of:
eradication of irresponsible ownership of cats and dogs – as a cause, and therefore, eradication of stray cats and dogs problem – as a consequence,
by the President of Serbia, the Prime Minister of Serbia, Government of Serbia, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Veterinary Directorate, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Human and Minority Rights, the Ministry of Education,
having in mind the general public, financial, legal and moral importance of the national No Kill spay and neuter strategy –
based on the fact that the Law Proposal has only changed the present methods of dealing with this problem regarding the lenght of time period from the moment of catching animals to the moment of their killing, thus significantly increasing public expenses by keeping cats and dogs up to 30 days in municipal shelters including the costs related to their food, medicines, vaccination and microchipping – all of it mandatory by the Law for every owner of the animal, either temporary or permanent.
It is beyond any doubt, that it is illegal and punishable to maltreat animals, to be involved in money laundry and other kinds of financial criminal as well as to instruct, orally and in written, on behalf of the Veterinary Directorate, that it is legal to keep ‘stray’ cats and dogs in municipal shelters (in order to save money) without their microchipping, vaccination, medical treatment, feeding, elimination of parasites, i.e. without all the mandatory obligations of every animal owner from the moment of their receiption, temporary or permanent, since such instructions may be grounds for corruption, irresponsible spending of public money, lack of control of scope and quality of work done and therefore of the justifiblity of spent financial means.
With national No Kill spay and neuter startegy it is possible and necessary to achieve legal, financialy and moraly justified (moral spending of tax payers’ money and moral behaviour towards living being of other kinds) method of eradication of this social problem cause and effects, contrary to so far useless, uncontrolled and legaly discrepant solutions. With national No Kill spay and neuter startegy it is possible and necessary to statutory eliminate all possible ways of misuse of money for the animals and their ill tretament, as well as to respect the rights and feeling of the minority in Serbia who cares for the animals.
Mandatory sterilization of companion cats and dogs, financed from the republic and municipal budgets, will provide legal, financialy and moraly reasonable method of solving this problem, as well as of all future expenses deriving from it, fully in accordance with the constitutional equality of human rights.
Furthermore, it is necessary to enable continuous education of all generations of Serbian citizens, about the correct behaviour towards animals and its proved effect on emphatic behaviour towards people, i.e. towards all weak and unprotected living creatures as a specific campaign against criminal and brutal behaviour and as a support to positive values in life.
Explication:
Selective sterilization (spay and neuter) of only ‘stray’ cats and dogs increases general public expenses since it doesn’t deal with the continuous source of new, unregistered, not identified and not vaccinated animals – the irresponsible owners, additionaly burdening the budgets.
The costs of expensive compensation towards the citizens who had been biten by those animals (since those animals were not microchipped) also burden municipal budgets, with the growing trend of financial manipulation.
Manipulations throughout Serbia, jointly undertaken by the hunters (armed individuals whose right to carry weapons is based only upon their membership in a citizen association usually sistematicaly violating the Law on Hunting for the sake of personal profit /e.g. killing foxes for personal profit in spite of the Law on Hunting of the Protected Species, massive killings of cats and dogs financied by the municipal budgets/ and the shinters-dog catchers, by their mutual contracts (between zoo hygene service and local veterinary service) are enabled by: – disregard of the Law on Veterinary Practice regulations; failure to organize anti-rabies (peroral) vaccination of wild animals, as obligatory to be done by the veterinarians and to be enabled by the hunters (financed from the republic budget). It is undoubtfully a common financial manipulation perpetrated via manipulation with the animals, as illustrated by the fact that a rabies virus depot, in a certain region, is not related to specific animal species – foxes, but to all the species of domestic and wild animals, and therefore, elimination of the potential RABIES VIRUS depots can be done only by elimination of ALL the entities in ALL animal species in subject region, domestic and wild – which makes this method of eradication of the virus totaly inadequate and irrational, and advocates for the vaccination importance and utilization.
No Kill spay & neuter strategy:
Mandatory sterilization of all companion cats and dogs, apart from their vaccination, microchipping and mandatory (peroral) anti-rabies vaccination of wild animals provides conditions for legal treatment of animals and controled spending of high amounts of money from tax payers in Serbia, with the tendency of reduction of these expenses. This tendency is of general social interest since it can help to save and redirect money from the republic and municipal budgets for e.g. eradication of late phase of cervical cancer among women in Serbia as the most numerous population with this problem in whole Europe, by financing of national strategy for early carcinom detection and targeted cervical biopsy and cotization tretments in the process of disease verification and examination. This would dramaticaly increase the number of entirely cured women with their fully recovered generative and working ability, personal and family life.
Conclusion:
Implementation of national No Kill strategy enables:
1. eradication of the problem cause i.e. the problem of the irresaponsible owners whose legal rights can be restricted only by other citizens’ legal rights in their mutual interest and in the interest of animals which will no longer be ‘euthanasied’ as an euphemism for their killing ( euthanasia = the killing out of mercy, in terminal case of an intractable illness or complicated injury which cause great pain and suffering)
2. eradication of the category of ‘stray’ cats and dogs population, as a consequence of irresponsible ownership
3. eradication of Rabies virus in Serbia, with all the positive effects of this accomplishment and joining other European countries with same epizootiological level
4. eradication of immoral spending of money, collected from the tax payers’, for personal profit of the individuals, thus harming general public interest
5. eradication of cases of late cervical carcinoma among women in Serbia and its consequential impact on their personal and family lives, of the expanses of their medical treatment still inefficient to prevent possible death

Poštovani,
Obraćamo Vam se s molbom za javnu podršku , deklarativnu i praktičnu, nacionalnoj No kill sterilizacija strategiji za :
eradikaciju problema neodgovornog vlašništva pasa i mačaka –uzroka, te na taj način eradikaciju problema pasa i mačaka „lutalica“ – posledica ,
od strane Predsednika Republike Srbije, Premijera Vlade Republike Srbije ,Vlade Rep.Srbije,Ministarstva poljoprivrede,Uprave za veternu , Ministarstva zdravlja,Ministarstva za ljudska i manjinska prava, Ministarstva prosvete,
s obzirom na opšti javni , materijalni , zakonski i moralni značaj nacionalne No kill sterilizacija strategije –
,koji se temelji i na činjenici da dosadašnji način rešavanja – a koji se Nacrtom Zakona o dobrobiti životinja menja samo u pogledu redefinisanja vremenskog intervala od trenutka hvatanja do trenutka ubijanja dovodeći do značajnog povećavanja javnih troškova držanjem pasa i mačaka do 30 dana u opštinskim prihvatilištima – nametanjem troškova za hranjenje, lečenje, vakcinisanje, mikročipovanje , na koje zakon obavezuje svakog držaoca bilo da je držanje privremeno ili trajno,
Nesporno je da je protivzakonito i zatvorski kažnjivo mučenje životinja , pranje novca i privredni prestupi i kriminal , kao i eventualno davanje uputstva – usmenog ili pismenog – od strane zaposlenih u Upravi za veterinu: da se psi i mačke „lutalice“ mogu držati u opštinskim prihvatilištima , radi uštede novca : bez mikročipovanja , vakcinisanja , lečenja, hranjenja, ,uklanjanja endo-ektoparazita, tj bez svih postupanja prema životinjama koja su zakonom obligatna za svakog držaoca životinja od momenta kada životinja stupi u objekat koji je u nadležnosti tog držaoca : i privremenog i trajnog. , iz razloga što davanje takvih uputstava predstavlja omogućavanja i podstrekivanja korupcije, nemoralnog trošenja javnog novca , onemogućavanja kontrole trošenja javnog novca nemogućnošću vršenja kontrole obima i kvaliteta obavljenog posla i kontrole postojanja ili ne : namenskog trošenja novca ili njegovog protivpravnog prisvajanja i pranja novca.
Zakonit, finansijski i moralno opravdan (moralno trošenje novca poreskih obveznika i moralno postupanje s kičmenjacima druge vrste ) način eradikacije uzroka i posledica ovog opšteg javnog problema , za čije dosadašnje bezuspešno, nekontrolisano , nesaglasno zakonima Rep.Srbije ,rešavanje , su trošeni , i troše se i danas , novci poreskih obveznika moguće je i nužno sprovesti na nacionalnom nivou No kill sterilizacija strategijom ,kako bi se sve protivzakonite mogućnosti postupanja s novcem namenjenim ovom problemu i s životinjama , uklonile na zakonit način , i prestala biti uzurpirana ljudska prava i nanočenje mentalne agresije značajnoj manjini gradjana Srbije – koja respektuje životinje .
Obavezna sterilizacija vlasničkih pasa i mačaka o trošku republičkog i opštinskih budžeta omogućuje zakonit , finansijsko i moralno opravdan način uklanjanja problema i svih budućih troškova koji su se njegovom persistencijom nametali opštinskim i republičkom budžetu utemeljen na ustavom zagarantovana jednaka prava gradjana ,koja mogu biti ograničena samo identičnim pravima drugih gradjana .
Takodje je potrebno omogućiti kontinuiranu edukaciju gradjana Srbije, svih uzrasta, o načinu ophodjenja prema životinjama , kao dokazanom temelju stvaranja saosećajnog ophodjenja i prema ljudima tj.prema svim nezaštićenim bespomoćnim živim bićima radi afirmisanja proverenog puta za smanjenje kriminaliteta , sistematskim potiskivanjem brutalnog odnosa prema svim živim bićima i afirmisanjem pozitinog stava prema stvarnim vrednostima .
Obrazloženje:
Sterilizacija samo pasa i mačaka „lutalica“ povećava opšte javne izdatke ,jer ostaje prisutan i nadalje izvor novih neobeleženih , nevakcinisanih jedinki : dvorišta neodgovornih vlasnika , troškovi njihovog obeležavanja i vakcinacije opetovano opterećuju republiči i oipštinske budžete.
Ogromni odštetni zahtevi ujedenih gradjana – s obzirom da psi i mačke nisu mikročipovani – padaju na teret opštinskih budžeta – gde je primećen porast trenda manipulacija ovim novcem.
Manipulacije u kojima udruženo učestvuju lovci i šinterski timovi (zoohigijeničarske službe i lokalne veterinarske službe po medjusobnom ugovoru o delu ) u Srbiji – ubijanjem od strane lovaca ( naoružanih pojedinaca koji svoje pravo na korišćenje oružja zasnivaju jedino na članstvu u jednom udruženju gradjana koje sistematično krši Zakon o lovstvu, radi sticanja lične materijalne dobiti , izmedju ostalog : opetovanim ubijanjima, Zakonom o lovstvu zaštićene vrste – lisice ,radi lične koristi pojedinaca , a takodje i masovno ubijanje pasa i mačaka o trošku opštinskih budžeta – omogućeno je:
nepostupanjem po nalozima Zakona o veterinarstvu , nesprovodjenjem ( peroralne ) antirabične vakcinacije divljih životinja , koje su dužni o trošku rep.budžeta sprovesti veterinari , a omogućiti to sprovodjenje : držaoci divljih životinja – lovci . Da je u pitanju manipulacija novcem putem manipulacija životinjama dokazuje činjenica da se suprotno egzaktnoj istini da rezervoar virusa rabiesa u jednom regionu nije samo jedna životinjska vrsta -lisice , nego sve životinjske vrste , divljih i domaćih životinja – i da , ako se eradikacija VIRUSA RABIESA želi postići ubijanjem potencijalnih rezervoara , moraju biti ubijene SVE jedinke SVIH životinjskih vrsta u tom regionu, kako divljih tako pripitomljenih – što ovaj način eradikacije VIRUSA RABIESA čini neadekvatnim ,neracionalnim i potencira značaj i primenjivost VAKCINACIJE .
No kill sterilizacija strategija:
Obuhvatajući obaveznu sterilizaciju svih valsničkih pasa i mačaka ,pored obavezne vakcinacije i mikročipovanja , i obaveznu ( peroralnu ) antirabičnu vakcinaciju divljih životinja omogućuju zakonita postupanja prema životinjama i kontrolisano namensko trošenje ogromnih suma novca poreskih obveznika Rep.Srbije ,s trendom pada tih troškova , što ima opšti društveni značaj , jer se ovim putem – postupanjima po važećim zakonima uštedjen deo novca poreskih obveznika iz republičkog i iz opštinskih budžeta može preusmeriti na eradikaciju odmaklog karcinoma grlića materice kod žena u Srbiji – koja je na prvom mestu u Evropi po broju žena obolelih od odmaklog karcinoma grlića materice , – finansiranjem nacionalne akcije rane detekcije ovog karcinoma koji je ,ukoliko se dijagnostikuje – a to omogućuje ranom detekcijom iznalaženje suspektnih slučajeva te sprovodjenje ciljane kontrolisane biopsije i konizacije grlića materice radi histo-patološke verifikacije karcinoma i stepena njegove proširenosti . Na taj način moguće je značajno povećati broj žena koje su 100% izlečene, i koje ostaju 100% generativno i radno sposobne s neporemećenim kvalitetom života kako ličnog tako i života svoje familije.
Zaključak :
Primenjivanje nacionalne No kill sterilizacija strategije omogućuje :
- eradikaciju uzroka problema tj. neodgovornih vlasnika – čija ustavna prava i slobode mogu biti ograničena samo pravima i slobodama drugih gradjana , bez štete za gradjane obe grupe, a na korist obe grupe i životinja koje neće biti izložene ubijanjima , koja su neopravdano imenovana eutanazijom ( euthanasia ae,femininum+ ubistvo iz milosrdja, u terminalnom stadijumu inkurabilno bolesne ili ireoarabilno povredjene jedinke koja trpi neotklonjive bolove i patnju ) .
- eradikacija kategorije: pasa i mačaka „lutalica“- koja je posledica neodgovornog vlasništva
- eradikacija virusa rabiesa u Republici Srbiji , sa svim opštim javnim korisnim efektima ovog postignutog cilja , te pridruživanje evropskim državama istog epizootiološkog kvaliteta
- eradikacija nemoralnog trošenja novca poreskih obveznika radi lične koristi pojedinaca , a na uštrb opetovane štete opštem javnom inetersu,
- eradikacija odmaklog karcinoma grlića materice u žena u Rep.Srbiji , i svih nepovoljnosti za obolelu ličnost i njenu familiju , i svih troškova lečenja ovog odmaklog inkurabilnog karcinoma koji ne otklanjaju izvesnost infaustnog ishoda .
