Ukraine: Updated 20/08 – Please Take Action to Support the Campaign Against Dog Killings

Posted on August 19, 2010 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

   

   

   

   

Below is a copy of an updated message sent to SAV by Stefan today – 20/08/10.    

Please support the requests that he sends out – petitions and letters – sample letter below.    

Thanks SAV.  

——————————————————  

Would you like to support our Action?

We’ve got the horrible situation in Ukraine.
Sterilization programmes, being already adopted are cancelled by official authorities !  

We had adopted sterilization programs already but they are now cancelled by official authoriries!  

It took place in  Kyiv, Khrarkov, Donetsk, where we have already protested against returning to killware methods of animal regulation:   

http://gazeta.ua/index.php?id=288247&lang=ru  , Kharkov – http://www.mobus.com/kharkov/289704.html, Donetsk – http://donetsk.proua.com/news/2009/09/09/150536.html  , http://forum.dkr.com.ua/showthread.php?t=20152,   

but they don’t pay any attention to us

Sterilised and socialized dogs (undercared by animal protectors and volunteers) are going to be euthanased up to Euro-2012. Cities administration already buy new vans for catching dogs and they are going  to “clean” streets in order to make an super-profit to dog-catch organizations.  

In fact, it will bring to situation when all killed dogs would be soon replaced with another once which will come to the city from the suburbs, un socialised and un strerilised, and this is a great damage to city budget, baseless waste of funds and killing of lives.  

I call for help and all desirable influence in order to stop this senseless massacre and just leave animals in care of animal protection organizations, that are really worry and care about their lives.  

After the Kravchuk’s letter to Janukovich (http://news.sevrugin.com/node/11042), the Vice Prime Minister in charge of preparations for Euro 2012 Borys Kolesnikov announced about building municipal shelters, despite that shelters would not cause animal population to reduce, but would improve state corruption and animal sufferings from economy on shelter’s needs.  

There is slightly suspicion that new shelters, opened accurate to Euro 2012 would made the same “humane” way as new Borodyanka preferred.  

Don’t changing anything in treatment to animals, nor solving the problem with sterilisation, Kyiv city administration is going to kill everyone: both stray sterilized and un sterilised animals, just to make the profit on forthcoming Euro-2012. Instead of being shot or poisoned they all suspected to be murdered in shelters, which is the mainly first enterprisers of producing money from captured animals.  

Communal enterprise “Shelter for animals” (in Borodyanka) continues it’s work, each day catching animals (both sterilized, socialized and un sterelised) and delivering them to their “shelter”, where nobody has no access.

I call for all journalists, personalities and un indifferent humans to end this war against stray animals. WE FIGHTING FOR PEACE. Where is a lot of public organisations and citizens, who sterilise animals and care them.  

JUST LEAVE US ON OUR OWN!
——————————————-  

Dear friends,  

Thank you for joining this event, it is very important for you to support our actions.  

Please be so kind and send a letter to the following recipients (see below) and ask them about the situation at Communal enterprise “Shelter for animals” (In the village Borodynka, close to Kiev) and protest against the killing of innocent animals.  

SAMPLE LETTER:  

Dear Sirs,  

I have learnt about the intention to euthanise the stray animals of Kiev.  

In particular I refer to the Communal enterprise “Shelter for animals” in the municipal type village Borodynka, close to Kiev.  

Please clarify how you propose to deal with the stray animals in the care of this shelter.  

I understand that Kiev city administration proposes to kill all dogs, both sterilized and un sterilised just to make a profit on the forthcoming Euro-2012.  

Instead of being shot or poisoned (as in 2009) it is suspected that innocent animals will be murdered in shelters, and underhanded profit obtained from the death of the animals held captive in these shelters.
I respectfully ask you to stop the killing of defenceless animals, according to Law Article 16 “On the Protection of Animals from Cruelty”  

I respectfully urge you to follow the example of other countries and find ways to humanly control the situation of stray animals in your country. For example: sterilization, the building of NO KILL SHELTERS, creating a program of adoption, both in your country, and also international.  

I beg you to please solve this sad problem in a humane way. The deliberate killing of stray dogs does nothing to reduce the amount of animals on the streets, and also tarnishes the reputation of your country!  

Please display to the world that your country chooses to love and care for it’s stray animals and chooses to give them chance of life.  

Please do not use the wonderful event of EURO 2012 to kill and cause suffering to innocent, defenceless animals.  

Thank you for your understanding and your time in reading my letter.  

Yours Respectfully,
Name
Country

Serbia: Subotica City ‘Public Competition’ Update 18/08/10

Posted on August 18, 2010 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Regarding the ‘public competition’ in Subotica City which we have covered right from the start, which gave the potential for animal welfare organisations to tender for running of the city shelters, we now have further and disturbing information.

Below are links to all our past posts on this issue – dates when published are given before the link.

29/05 –

https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2010/05/29/serbia-public-competition-by-law-may-now-enable-animal-welfare-groups-to-present-proposals-to-authorities-for-their-no-kill-stray-animal-numbers-control-programmes/

18/07 –

https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2010/07/18/serbia-subotica-city-public-competition-to-control-stray-animals-update-corrupt-and-authority-organised-as-always-so-whats-new/

19/07 –

https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2010/07/19/serbia-part-2-subotica-city-%e2%80%98public-competition-to-control-stray-animals%e2%80%99-update-%e2%80%93-corrupt-and-authority-organised-as-always-%e2%80%93-so-whats-new/

For 8 years, campaigners have been asking about the procedures in place which have prevented the public from tendering for such positions.  Finally, the Serbian Constitutional Court agreed that in future, the public should be invited to tender for the running of such facilities as the animal shelters.

Well, regardless of what the constitutional court says, it still appears that an unlawful and corrupt system has the upper hand.

Effectively, it has now come to light that the authorities of Subotica City only published the information regarding the public competition for the animal shelters in an official gazette.  This gazette has limited access to only certain people and does not include the public.  By only publishing in the gazette, the information relating to the public competition for the animal shelters was made anything but public. 

Every day, campaigners searched the Subotica city internet portal – www.subotica.rs  which is where the information should have been made public, but they never found anything.  It is the law that if anything in the way of a open tender goes above 2.9 million dinars then it must be published in TWO places – these being the official gazette of the republic of Serbia and also on the official city portal – www.subotica.rs 

Conveniently, the Subotica authorities did NOT publish the competition on the official city portal; and as such the tender for ‘the public’ was never actually made available to the public.

And so now, when campaigners have asked the authorities about the public competition, they have been informed that the information was published but that nobody has been interested in tendering for the contract for the animal shelters. 

Effectively, there has been no interest because the Subotica authorities have ensured that the competition was only published in the ‘non public’ document – the official gazette !! – this is why the public, the animal welfare groups, have not tendered.  The information regarding the tender has been kept secret, by not being published on the city portal; and the authorities are now using the fact that the public have not responded as a justification for continuing to run the system as they wish it to be run.

Now, campaigners have written to both the Mayor of Subotica and to an anti-corruption organisation within Serbia in an attempt to take this issue further.

As we have said above, regardless of what the Serbian Constitutional Court says, it still appears that an unlawful and corrupt system called the Subotica City authorities have the upper hand; at the moment anyway.

More updates and news will be published when there is any further news relating to this corruption in the animal shelter system of Subotica city.

Below are copies of relevant documentation relating to the above.

SUGGESTED LETTER (Subject:No al exterminio de gatos)
 

 

Estimada señora alcaldesa Teófila Martínez:

Me dirijo a usted para expresarle mi total indignación ante la noticia de la Matanza de Gatos del Campo del Sur que va a realizar el Ayuntamiento de Cádiz que usted preside.

Esta zona ha sido utilizada durante años por los vecinos de la zona como vertedero de basura, muebles, escombros de obras efectuadas en la zona ocasionando un ambiente de mal olor y suciedad producto de una actitud incívica y en ese estercolero tambien han abandonado los gaditanos a los gatos caseros que ya no querían dejando una muestra de su falta de sensibilidad, pero no en vano fue Cádiz la primera ciudad de Occidente donde apareció el gato animal que acompañaba siempre en sus viajes a nuestros colonizadores fenicios y estos gatos gaditanos abandonados a su suerte han sabido cumplir a la perfección su función de plagicidas ecológicos, librando al caletero barrio de la Viña de ratas y cucarachas tan propias de barrios costeros.

Ahora se les premia con la muerte, las primeras personas que estamos en contra de la sobre población de gatos callejeros somos los que los amamos y por eso luchamos para encontrarles un hogar y sacarlos de la calle, eso nos parece bien al igual que la Campaña que sabemos que tiene su Ayuntamiento de castración que es la manera más inteligente y europea de paliar este problema, para algunos de salud y para otros de humanidad.

Existen muchas ciudades en el mundo donde sus Ayuntamientos han convertido la abundancia de gatos callejeros en una colonia controlada y saludable que cumple su función de raticida ecológico a cambio de comida suministrada y controlada por el consistorio, convirtiéndose en una atracción turística más de la localidad así en París, Túnez, Lamú, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego por no hablar de las ciudades de Reino Unido donde se cuenta con más de veinte años de experiencia en este sentido los gatos lejos de ser cruelmente exterminados efectúan su trabajo día a día.

No pretenda vendernos que la situación de los gatos del Campo del Sur tan gaditanos que hasta autores del Carnaval como Julio Pardo o Martínez Ares han escogido como tipo para sus agrupaciones, sólo puede usted resolverla con un masivo asesinato.

El poder no la hace más poderosa señora alcaldesa sino más responsable, somos muchas las personas que estamos en contra de esta masacre que usted pretende realizar y que contamos con la ayuda de protectoras y animalistas de toda España y del extranjero, usted decide que imagen dará de Cádiz la de las ciudades que han sabido tratar el problema con inteligente humanidad o la de un Ayuntamiento que imita el error de la crueldad medieval cuando los gatos fueron asesinados y como consecuencia las enfermedades plagaron las ciudades.

Atentamente,

Name

Country

SWAP team UK have provided a brief Google translation below in English so you know what you are sending!

  
Dear Madam Mayor Teófila Martínez:


I am writing to express my total outrage at the news of the massacre Gatos Campo del Sur to be undertaken by the City of Cadiz which you preside.

This area has been used for years by locals as a garbage dump, furniture, debris from work done in the area causing an atmosphere of bad smell and dirt product of antisocial attitude and in that hotbed also to have abandoned the people of Cadiz household cats no longer wanted to leave a sample of their lack of sensitivity, but not in vain was the first city of Cadiz in the West where it appeared the animal cat that always accompanied on his trips to our Phoenician settlers and these cats stranded Cadiz have been able to fulfill perfectly their role as ecological plaggic, ridding the area of Vine caletero rats and cockroaches so characteristic of coastal districts.

Now they are rewarded with death, the first people who are against the population of feral cats are the ones we love and why we struggle to find a home and remove them from the street, well that sounds like the Campaign we know to have your City of castration is the most intelligent and European remedy this problem, for some health and other humanity.

There are many cities in the world where their municipalities have become the abundance of feral cats in a controlled and healthy colony is fulfilling its ecological role of rat poison in exchange for food provided and controlled by the municipality, becoming a tourist attraction in the town and Paris, Tunis, Lamu, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego not to mention the cities of the United Kingdom that has over twenty years of experience in this regard cats cruelly exterminated far from carrying out work on a daily basis .

Do not try to sell the cat situation as Campo del Sur Cadiz Carnival that even authors such as Julio Martinez Ares Pardo or have chosen as a standard for their groups, only you can solve it with a mass murder.

The power does not make it powerful but responsible Madam Mayor, we are many people who are against the slaughter that you intended, and that we have the help of protective and animals from all over Spain and abroad, you decide that image will Cadiz in the cities that have managed to treat the problem with human intelligence or a municipality that mimics the medieval cruelty error when the cats were killed and consequently the disease plagued the cities.

Global: World Animal Day 4/10/10. What Are You Doing ?

Posted on August 15, 2010 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

 

 

WORLD ANIMAL DAY – 4TH OCTOBER – THIS YEAR AND EVERY YEAR

Perhaps you aren’t aware that 4 October is World Animal Day.

Yet World Animal Day is celebrated around the world by organisations, groups, clubs, schools, places of worship and individual, animal‐loving members of the public.

World Animal Day celebrates humankind’s unique relationship with the animal kingdom, and acknowledges the numerous ways in which animals enrich our lives.

You don’t have to be involved in animal welfare in any way at all; you just have to care about animals.

http://www.worldanimalday.org.uk is full of ideas of ways you can get involved in World Animal Day. Here are a few of the fabulous events that took place around the world recently:

Schools in Tanzania, Morocco, Cameroon, Hong Kong, Philippines, Nepal, India, Cambodia, Malaysia, Armenia, Romania, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Guatemala, UK and the USA undertook special topics on pet care and held art and craft competitions, often later exhibiting the children’s work to the public.

In 2007, many African countries including Kenya and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, held educational events to raise public awareness of animal welfare, with an emphasis on farm animals, and the importance of conservation.

In Asia, events took place involving individuals, through small, grass‐roots groups through to international organisations. In Palawan, Philippines, even the animals sported World Animal Day T‐shirts when joining in a colourful World Animal Day procession. In Cambodia, an animal art competition was held for 250 orphans and vulnerable children in Phnom Penh with 50 winners being taken on a day trip to the Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre.

Music often plays a part in World Animal Day. In 2007, in Australia and the USA fabulous black tie gala balls and concerts raised much‐needed funds.

Throughout the world, information stalls in shopping areas are a popular way of raising awareness of animal welfare issues.

Fundraising events, such as sponsored dog walks or pet shows, take place in many countries.

Many animal shelters around the world hold open days or adoption days.

In 2007, the SPOTS Foundation in Holland, with the help of a large group of children, broke the Guinness world record for the ‘Longest Painting by Numbers’ – an animal painting of course!

Please do take a look at the ‘Events Diary’ on the website as I’m sure you will find the event reports and images truly inspiring and then click on ‘Get Involved’ for more ideas and advice on getting organised. It’s never too early to start thinking about how you might get involved.

Serbia: Furnace Used to Kill Dogs in Cuprija ? – Shinters Try to Take 5 Puppies From Citizen to Kill Them – The no kill law of Serbia is not being implemented anywhere !

Posted on August 13, 2010 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

The photos here show a shinters car from Cuprija – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%86uprija

 

Here they catch dogs and cats, as well as other towns and cities such as Svilajnac.  In Cuprija, they have a furnace for killing dogs.  We know of information which says that live dogs are killed by being burnt in these furnaces.  Cats are always dead before they arrive at the furnace, because the shinters throw live cats into the same vehicle that carries the dogs; and the dogs kill the cats.

EPAR in Subotica has received a letter about the shinters at the city pound of Pozega – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po%C5%BEega,_Serbia

We are informed that there is only one cage at the pound, which contains around 40-50 dogs, who are all deprived of both food and water, even in temperatures of around 40 degrees C.

A letter provided by a citizen of Uzice city says that shinters have caught her little dog.  The lady in question writes that she went to look for this pound.  She understands that her dog was killed.  The lady still had 5 puppies belonging to this dog.  The next day shinters went to the house of the lady saying that they wanted to take the puppies and kill them also.

The lady threw the shinters out of her house, but the shinters then called the police.

We do not know what happened after this but telephone calls are being made to gather more information.

The no kill law of Serbia is not being implemented anywhere.

The letter provided by a the lady of Uzice city can be seen below:

USA: Ask President Obama to Tighten US Law Regarding Captive TIGERS

Posted on August 13, 2010 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As few as 3,200 tigers remain in the wild.

At the same time that tigers are vanishing from their natural habitats, more than 5,000 tigers may exist in captivity in the U.S alone. Loopholes in current regulations allow many tigers to be held without any permit or reporting requirements, putting U.S. captive tigers at risk of entry into the illegal tiger trade – the biggest threat to the survival of wild tigers.

Urge the Obama Administration to tighten U.S. laws protecting captive tigers to prevent them from contributing to the illegal tiger trade >

A recent study by World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF) partner TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, found that the federal government has no way to determine exactly how many captive tigers are in the U.S., where they are, who owns them, or what happens to them when they die.

This lax management makes the U.S. captive tiger population an easy target for black market sales. Without tighter regulation, this large population could become a “drip feed” of supply to fill demand for tiger parts, thereby perpetuating this market and further threatening wild tiger populations by putting them at increased risk of poaching.

Help strengthen U.S. laws to ensure captive tigers do not contribute to the endangerment of the world’s remaining wild tiger populations >

If we don’t take action now to protect the remaining population of wild tigers, we will witness the loss of one of the world’s most impressive animals. In the past 100 years, wild tiger populations have fallen by about 95%. Without action to stem this decline, we risk the very survival of wild tigers.

Take action today: sign our petition with the World Wildlife Fund >

Thank you for raising your voice,

– The Change.org team in partnership with World Wildlife Fund

Spain: Please Take Action Now Against the Bull Killing Festival in September

Posted on August 13, 2010 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Please go to the following for sample letter:

http://action.peta.org.uk/ea-campaign/clientcampaign.do?ea.client.id=5&ea.campaign.id=4535

Picture the scene: you’re tired and debilitated, and a huge crowd of people are stabbing spears into your body to drain you of your blood and kill you. You have no escape, and you eventually die after your tail has been cut off.

This is the scene every year in Castilla y Léon, Spain, at the Toro de la Vega “festival”, where a bull is tortured in the name of “entertainment”.

Take action NOW against this cruelty by writing to the mayor of the autonomous region and the tourism board today.
