we’ve got 907 signatures, help us get to 1,500

I arrived on the 6th of June to Favignana Island’s main port. We were walking to find a taxi when I heard a young kitten crying out after been kicked by a taxi driver who then jumped in his taxi and nearly reversed over it. I ran over and quickly realised the kitten who was only 3/4 weeks old had such a horrific eye infection it could not see and so bad her eyes were not visible. The kitten was blinded by the infection and was crying out for its mom across the road. The photo shows the kitten on the mother’s back as this was the only way of getting her around. I reunited the two and was shocked to look around and see so many malnourished stray cats and kitten.

I tried to find a vet but they don’t exist on the island, no one could help me and the locals advised this has been the situation for many years with most looking on and not doing anything about the problem. Thanks to the goodness of a kind volunteer on the main land this little kitten received medical help but yesterday evening it was confirmed to me the brave little kitten didn’t make it. So I want to make sure her life was not wasted and I want to petition on her behalf for all the other cats and kittens on the island. Please help bring an end to this horrific suffering by signing the petition below. Thanks kindly in advance..

Please help us get the support these animals need on Favignana island. I’m asking the mayor of Favignana island to help control the numbers of stray cats on the island by implementing a simply solution by arranging for a vet to visit the island once monthly to spay/neuter thus controlling the cat population and to check on their general health.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Until this is done more and more stray cats will multiple and many more will suffer like this kitten. Please sign this petition to tell the mayor of Favignana Island to resolve this horrific situation.

SERBIAN:

Dobro došli na NESS!

“Znanje je jedna od malobrojnih stvari koja se može deliti a da je ne ostane manje”

NESS je nezavisna neprofitna informativna i komunikaciona mreža čiji je cilj da omogući organizacijama, pojedincima i medijima da sarađuju jedni sa drugima na brz, iskren i efikasan način – kako bi se zaštita uličnih životinja u Evropi konačno učinila najefikasnijom što može biti.

Otkako je vlada Rumunije odobrila zakon koji legalizuje masovno ubijanje uličnih životinja u oktobru 2013, veliki broj ljudi se angažovao na spasavanju tih životinja – ne samo u Rumuniji nego širom Evrope. Ali mada je broj ljudi koji su se uključili u zaštitu uličnih životinja veći nego što je ikada bio, ništa se značajno dosad nije promenilo. Dan za danom hiljade pasa nastavljaju da pate u neopisivo jezivim uslovima u državnim azilima po Istočnoj i Južnoj Evropi. Dan za danom se stotine ovih nedužnih stvorenja ubijaju na najnemilosrdniji i najbrutalniji način. I dan za danom aktivnosti ne samo šintera koji hvataju pse nego i običnih ljudi postaju sve sadističkije, sve gnusnije i sa sve više prezira prema životu životinja.

Zahvaljujući velikom broju ljudi koji podržava pokret zaštite uličnih životinja i raznovrsnih oblasti koje oni predstavljaju (ljudi koji se aktivno zalažu za dobrobit životinja, veterinari, pravnici, političari) postoji realna šansa da se potpuno i konačno zaustavi stradanje uličnih životinja u Evropi. Ipak, da bi se to ostvarilo, neophodno je da se usvoje odgovarajući zakoni a dosad, nažalost, državni čelnici na to nisu reagovali ničim drugim do ignorisanjem.

Zbog toga, do održivog poboljšanja sudbine uličnih životinja u Evropi može doći samo povećavanjem pritiska na nadležne kako više ne bi mogli da ignorišu očajnu situaciju životinja. Ipak, prošlost je pokazala da se to jednostavno ne može postići pojedinačnim akcijama. Umesto toga, postalo je neophodno da sve oblasti pokreta zaštite uličnih životinja odmah počnu da komuniciraju i sarađuju međusobno! To je jedini način da pokret zaštite uličnih životinja dobije dovoljno snage da konačno natera nadležne da se aktiviraju!

VEĆ NAS IMA DOVOLJNO DA NAPRAVIMO PROMENU! SADA MORAMO DA RADIMO NA TOME ZAJEDNO!

Pozivamo sve koji su aktivni u pokretu zaštite uličnih životinja – pojedince, grupe i nevladine organizacije – da se pridruže ovoj mreži i zajedno bore da se prekine patnja uličnih životinja!

 

 

ENGLISH:

Welcome to NESS

 

“Knowledge is one of the few things which you can share without having less of it afterwards.”

NESS is an independent non-profit information and communication network which aims at enabling organisations, individuals and the media to cooperate with each other in a quick, straightforward and efficient way – in order to finally make the protection of European strays as effective as possible.

Since the Romanian government passed the law legalizing the mass killing of stray dogs in October 2013, a huge number of people have become active in order to save these animals – not only those in Romania but all over Europe. But even though the number of people who have joined the stray animal protection movement is unprecedented in Animal Welfare – no significant changes could be achieved so far. Day by day thousands of dogs continue to suffer under indescribable circumstances in the killing stations of eastern and southern Europe. Day by day hundreds of these innocent creatures get killed in the most brutal and merciless way. And day by day the actions of the communal dog catchers as well as of common civilians seem to become more sadistic, more detestable and more contemptuous of life.

Due to the great number of people who support the stray protection movement and the manifold areas which they represent (members of active animal welfare, vets, lawyers, politicians) a real chance to end the suffering of European strays comprehensively and ultimately has finally come to life. However, the ultimate necessity for this is the passing of accordant laws. Unfortunately, so far all the politicians in charge have reacted with nothing but ignorance.

Thus, a sustainable improvement for the fate of Europe’s strays can only be made by increasing the pressure to act onto those in charge, so that they are no longer capable of ignoring the animals’ desperate situation. However, the past has shown that this simply cannot be achieved by singular actions. Instead it has become highly necessary for all areas of the stray protection movement to enter into communication and cooperation with each other immediately! This is the only way to award enough force to the stray protection movement to finally get those in charge to act!

THERE ARE ALREADY ENOUGH OF US TO MAKE A CHANGE!

NOW WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION – TOGETHER!

We kindly invite everyone active in the stray protection movement – individuals, groups and NGOs – to join this network and fight together in order to put an end to the suffering of Europe’s strays!
