ANIMAL WELFARE ASSOCIATIONS FROM THE WORLD JOINED FORCES TO STOP MASS KILLING OF STRAY DOGS IN SERBIA
They will aim to catch 1500 dogs out of which 1300 will be euthanised.
These dogs are not humanly euthanised.
In the past washing up liquid has been injected into dogs which then suffered for hours and died a slow agonizing death. No one is allowed access to this pound, so we can only imagine the horrors the dogs endure. No food, no water, dogs are eating each other…
Above – Dogs eat each other to survive due to lack of food;
Below – Other pictures from Pozega.
Things have not changed. If anything, things have got worse – this government institution is now openly saying that they will kill 90% of dogs.
Photos below – You can see one “aggressive” dog looking as they take away her babies not daring to come any closer. Yes, they took the puppies away.
The dogcatchers have been watched by Serbian activists: 69 dogs are in the pound, which is not equipped to even have 20 dogs safely. The dogcatchers will be out getting more.
THIS IS ILLEGAL UNDER THE SERBIAN ANIMAL WELFARE LAW.
PLEASE, ACT!

To whom it might concern,
We strongly condemn JKP “ Naš Dom” Pozega for their behavior in terms of treatment of abandoned animals. The Animal Welfare Act in Serbia clearly stipulates that abandoned animals cannot be killed except in exceptional circumstances, but must be housed and cared for in the shelters, yet we learned that JKP “ Naš Dom” is planning to kill 90% of the dogs that they catch in 2016.
On the news tonight (16.03.2016 ), on the TV station B92, JKP “ Naš Dom” admitted that in year 2015 out of 1350 captured dogs, 1280 were killed!
We are outraged and appalled by such disrespect of the current law by an institution JKP “ Naš Dom” which is governed by the state! This institution, clearly feels they’re above the law! We will be notifying all competent authorities in the EU and beyond and will be looking into taking measures to prevent future illegal slaughter of animals in Serbia.
We also must add that we are aware of current lynch on street dogs in Nis which is almost announced publicly as form of revenge for the attack carried out on an elderly woman by a pack of dogs. We are also aware of all the unlawful poisonings and killings of animals which are happening in Serbia because the institutions governed by the state assigned to deal with the problem are not following the laws and therefore are failing to deal with the problem as well as not dealing with irresponsible owners who abandon their animals and are part of the problem.
So far we have pointed out how to humanely solve the problem of abandoned animals and for us it is devastating that Serbia does not actually apply these measures. Measures, which are prescribed by the Law.
We are disgusted with the way the law in Serbia is circumvented and we will be taking all measures in our power to stop the planned killing of 1300 animals by JKP “ Naš Dom” in 2016.
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME and Nationality.

We’re waiting patiently for Serbia to do the right thing!
All the time it undertakes killing such as this which are ILLIGAL under Serbian animal welfare laws, the nation of Serbia should not be allowed to become an EU member state – it is currently a ‘Candidate Country’.
Under EU membership rules, Serbia must be seen to be enforcing the ‘rule of law’ – ie. enforcing strictly its own national legislations, in order to even be considered for membership.
As Serbian officials are corrupt and taking the money which should be for animals, and which instead is being syphoned off for their own interests and gain, Serbia is not a fit nation for EU membership.
For the past 10 years or more we have argued constantly that stray animal sterilisation is the only way to reduce stray animal numbers. Officials do not consider our requests as they want to be paid from central government for every dog which they still illegally kill This can be up to 500 Euros per dog – consider the average wage is around 300 Euros per month – so corruption pays in the eyes of these people !
So for corrupt officials, it is not in their interests to adopt a policy of animal sterilisation and gradual numbers reductions, as it is removing their ‘kill and take the money’ attitude which is keeping them very rich. Stray animals (see the puppies in the photo above) continue to be born, the continue to be rounded up, and the authorities and the people involved get a nice fat payment for every animal which they kill !
And the EU should consider letting this type of authority into the EU as a new member state !!!
It is good to see that Serbian citizens are now waking up to the current situation – they pay the taxes which puts money into the pockets of the authorities after all; and instead are taking to the streets to voice their opposition to the animal killings.
PLEASE, ACT IMMEDIATELY!
