Canada: He was lured with bait, impaled with a spear, and left to suffer – Take Action.

Posted on August 18, 2016 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Tell the Alberta government to ban trophy hunting!

Dear Mark,

He was lured with bait, impaled with a spear, and left to suffer, possibly for hours, before he finally died. The agony endured by this black bear and the twisted, gleeful reaction of his killer, an American trophy hunter, were captured on video and posted on YouTube, using a camera attached to his seven-foot-long, homemade weapon.

With the public rightfully outraged by this footage, shared by shocked viewers all over the world, now is the time to take action to prevent similar cruelty to other animals.

Urge the government of Alberta, Canada, where this slaughter took place, to prohibit all trophy hunting.

Alberta’s government says it will ban the use of spears this fall during a regulatory review. But, while the government is to be commended for a swift response, spears are rarely used, and the most widely used killing methods in Alberta trophy hunts—which are just as torturous—will remain entirely legal unless more is done.

Trophy hunting is opposed by the overwhelming majority of Albertans and millions of people worldwide. It’s high time to outlaw this cruel practice.

Please, take just a moment now to ask Alberta’s government to ban not only the use of spears, but all baiting of animals and all trophy hunting.

Thank you for caring about animals.

Sincerely,

Andrew Rowan
President and CEO
Humane Society International

Vietnam: Follow Live – Animals Asia Rescue of Annemarie The Bear.

Posted on August 17, 2016 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

19/8/16 – Donation to help Annemarie start a much better life.

Dear Mark,

Please accept our heartfelt thanks for supporting our projects.

Your kind donation will go directly to helping our animal welfare initiatives in Asia.

Further update 18/8 1157GMT. Annemarie arrives at sanctuary.

LIVE – so you know how this ends?

Rescued sun bear Annemarie arrives, she leaves the truck and is wheeled off to quarantine ahead of a new life.

And if that was all that happened this would be the greatest day in the life of this bear.

For the rest of us it would be a day to remember for all the right reasons. A day when seven years of cruelty ended for beautiful Annemarie.

Except something else happened.

…

Update 18/8 0845GMT – – Things are now underway – watch the first short video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdYgajvd4jo

———————————————————–

Animals Asia tweeted: Follow a LIVE timeline of Annemarie’s rescue starting around 9 hours form now:

Bought as an exotic pet while just a cub, this seven-year-old sun bear has only ever known life behind bars – until now.

Follow the rescue live here from 8am Vietnam Time, Thursday, August 17.

Tomorrow an Animals Asia rescue team will head to Nam Dinh province to rescue the female bear. She was originally bought by the current owner’s father who has now passed away. His son – having learnt of the legal requirement to register bears – is keen to do the right thing and voluntarily hand over the bear.

While the illegality of the bear bile industry means that owners will routinely deny extracting bear bile, it’s believed that in this case, the bear has not suffered bile extractions.

However with bile farms still operating and with a market for bear parts for use in traditional medicine, the rescuers are thankful for the voluntary handover and keen for it to take part as soon as possible.

The bear will be given an anesthetic ahead of a transfer to a transport cage before being moved to Animals Asia’s Vietnam Bear Rescue Centre almost 200kms away.

The rescue is going ahead following liaison with the local Forestry and assistance from local charity ENV.

The bear has been named “Annemarie” by the rescuers – after their previous Bear and Vet Team Director and friend Annemarie Weegenaar who recently moved on after a decade in the post.

Tuan Bendixsen Animals Asia’s Vietnam Director said:

“At seven years old this is still a young bear and one that can enjoy a full life in the future. However, there is always a physical price to pay for these bears when they have suffered a lack of space, poor diet and inexpert care. Our vets will carry out a health check as part of the rescue to ensure Annemarie is safe to travel – and she’ll enjoy ongoing rehabilitation and vet care back at our sanctuary.”

It’s likely that this rescue can be completed inside a single day with the bear entering sanctuary quarantine the same day.

Animals Asia has rescued nearly 600 bears – the vast majority from the bear bile industry. Annemarie will be the 150^th bear currently being cared for at the Vietnam sanctuary.

Around 1,200 bears are still caged in Vietnam by the bear bile industry with over 10,000 more in China.

Petition: Punish Patron Who Brought Baby Lion Into Nightclub for Selfies !

Posted on August 10, 2016 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Punish Patron Who Brought Baby Lion Into Nightclub for Selfies

Petition link:

https://animalpetitions.org/134418/punish-patron-who-brought-baby-lion-into-nightclub-for-selfies/?utm_source=Animal+Petitions&utm_campaign=f49dcd7992-394AP8_9_2016&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_5c8ef52732-f49dcd7992-79739337

Target: Mrs. Elizabeth Glibbery, Manager of Toronto Animal Services

Goal: Demand the maximum penalty for the patron who brought a lion cub into a nightclub to take selfies.

A patron allegedly brought a lion cub into a nightclub and used him to take selfies. The cub was reportedly rented from a zoo that is already facing animal cruelty charges. Demand the maximum penalty in this case.

The Instagram page for Lavelle, a nightclub in Toronto, was flooded with photos of patrons holding and playing with a lion cub. The club claims it was not involved in the lion cub’s appearance and removed the patron from its premises. The patron allegedly obtained the cub from the Bowmanville zoo, a zoo known for its reported mistreatment of animals.

Using a wild animal for social purposes is cruel and illegal. Toronto Animal Services is investigating this incident. Sign below and demand the maximum penalty in this case.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Mrs. Glibbery,

A lion cub was brought into a Toronto nightclub and used as a prop for selfies. A patron reportedly rented the cub from a zoo. We demand that you recommend the maximum penalty in this case.

Many recognized the lion cub by his collar. He appears to be one of four lion cubs born at the Bowmanville zoo, a zoo currently facing charges of animal cruelty. The zoo advertises “lion cub encounters” and has rented its animals out to the public in the past, according to reports.

This lion cub is still very young and needs to be with his mother. Passing him around a nightclub is dangerous to both the cub and its patrons. We demand that you recommend the maximum penalty in this case.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

China: They’re trapped in the world’s saddest zoo – Petition and Actions.

Posted on August 10, 2016 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/2016/08/05/serbia-felix-shelter-crisis-read-more-and-see-the-situation-then-mail-the-new-mayor/

They’re trapped in the world’s saddest zoo

Dear Mark, It’s been called the “world’s saddest zoo,” and with good reason. Arctic foxes, beluga whales, walruses, a wolf and a polar bear are shut inside tiny, windowless, virtually barren rooms in the Grandview Mall in Guangzhou, China.

These animals are living in conditions so completely removed from their natural habitats that they represent one of the most distressing examples of animal deprivation I have ever seen.

The belugas swim in murky water. The foxes are malnourished and listless. And the polar bear sits silently day after day as shoppers stop to stare at and pose for selfies with him.

Please help us speak up for these poor animals!

Take action now to help close down this horror show and send its inhabitants to a sanctuary.

No animal should ever be exploited for entertainment, but the Grandview doesn’t even come close to meeting any internationally recognized standards. It is devastating to see these animals suffer helplessly with shoppers constantly banging on the glass of their exhibits.

HSI is supporting our Chinese partner groups in their petition to the governor of Guangdong and our friends at Animals Asia Foundation to try to help these animals in desperate need. We have already raised a complaint with a Chinese office, and now we need to add your voice to our call for swift and decisive action.

We can’t just leave these animals to languish endlessly.

Please sign our petition to re-home them immediately to a more humane and appropriate setting.

Thank you for caring about animals.

Sincerely,

Andrew Rowan President and CEO Humane Society International

Serbia: ‘Felix’ Shelter Crisis – Read More And See The Situation – Then Mail The New Mayor.

Posted on August 5, 2016 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

SAV message – we have known for a few months that Danica was ‘unwell’ – but nothing more really. Yesterday (4/8) she e mailed us with the terrible news about her situation and the fact that Jasna is having to take on all the responsibility for the shelter and its occupants. Jasna is unwell herself as you can read in the following message from her.

How typical is this ? – hunters and animal abusers get away scott free, and go on abusing and killing, whilst someone like Danica, who gives up everything to save and rescue cats from the street; is now struck down by such a terrible condition. There is no justice in this world.

I have been thinking overnight how to do a current situation report on shelter Felix; but now Jasna has written today and she basically says everything that needs to be known about the shelter and the current situation.

It has been suggested by some today that the shelter has an urgent meeting with the Municipality, because it is officially the law duty of Subotica city to care about homeless cats too. Unlike all stray animal issues in Serbia, we expect no positive results; municipalities do not care about stray animals; which is why we have argued before that it is essential that all Serbian welfare groups work together and put their name to an official letter to the government and municipalities; reminding of their lawful obligations to get animals protected. Sadly, experience shows that people will not forever keep funding something which the municipalities have a legal responsibility for, but whom just ignore the situation. When people see something positive being done by the municipalities, people will support it; but they are not going to support a situation where the official people with responsibility continue to turn a blind eye, leaving everyone else to pick up the pieces.

Danica, Jasna and Felix shelter have a special place in our hearts. You can use the search box on this site (top right) and just type in ‘Felix’ or ‘Fellix shelter’ to see all the pictures and posts we have given to this wonderful team over the years. Sadly now, things have reached a real crisis, and we call on the municipality to just for once accept its responsibilities and support this shelter with both money and food for the animals; something it has never done in the past, although legally obliged to.

We send Danica and Jasna our love and we know that readers will help and support them in whatever way that they can. They need help now more than ever !!

Subotica City now has a new mayor (one of SNS, Vuchic political party). His name is Mr. Bogdan Laban and his mayoral e mail address is as follows. mayor@subotica.rs

We hope that people will now e mail the Mayor and remind him of his responsibilities – see much more about this Criminal Code and the municipalities legal requirements under the Veterinary Law at https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/about-serbian-animals/

We are not doing a sample letter, in this case it is down to individuals to write – and urgently;

GROUPS LIKE FELIX NEED HELP MORE THAN EVER NOW – IT IS A CRISIS SITUATION FOR THE CATS AND THE PEOPLE THAT OPERATE THERE. HELP JASNA AND DANICA – DID DEEP PLEASE AND GIVE ANYTING YOU CAN – SEE THE BLOG LINK AT THE START AS FOLLOWS. They need a helping hand and they need it now !

Please crosspost to the moon and back – to all the big major animal welfare groups and organisations who may be able to help. Don’t leave it; do it NOW.

Thanks SAV.

Jasna writes;

Our new blog post has just been published – for giving any donations go to http://novisadcats.blogspot.rs/

This is an important announcement, please read and spread the word!

Sharing bad news and talking about sensitive, difficult topics is never easy and that’s why I’ve been delaying writing this post for as long as I could, but now I feel it’s high time to just come clean about what’s been happening at the shelter behind the scenes since December of 2014. However, I need to emphasize that back then no one could possibly foresee how the situation would evolve, nor be able to predict the ultimate outcome. Danica suffered a significant stroke that affected the left half of her body and it rendered her immobile and bed ridden at the beginning of December the year before last. As she had always lived alone here with the cats, a couple of us (her helpers and friends) rushed to her aid, not only to help her but also to keep the shelter going. Doctors were optimistic at that point and we all hoped she would be able to recover enough to take care of the kitties again in a few months, albeit with some help and a worker or two.

Unfortunately, that was not the case; she had spent months in two rehabilitation clinics (one of which is the best in Serbia) to no avail – she made very little, if any progress. Last summer she began talking about going to a nursing home where she would have trained professional staff 24/7, as she was still bed bound and relied on assistance with almost all of the activities of daily living. After months of what seemed to be an unending struggle with bureaucracy, she finally went into a nursing home where she has skilled nursing, three meals a day, physical therapy and lifelong care. Since her stroke, let alone her departure, a three digit number of cats and the shelter’s existence itself have been left hanging by a thread in midair. The biggest problem we were facing was that the cats wouldn’t be able to live alone here just being fed and checked on every day, no matter how independent and self sufficient they might appear. Someone needed to step in and move to the shelter in this little village in the middle of nowhere in order to take care of the cats, but Danica had never made any arrangements for them in case anything bad happened to her. Long story short, as I’ve been helping Danica for years, running her website, her blog and some of her social media accounts from a distance of 200 km, guess who was supposed to jump in when something goes seriously wrong?

Our new blog post has just been published – for giving any donations go to http://novisadcats.blogspot.rs/

So I came here more than a year and a half ago, together with my 13 cats and a pooch (now two of them) but I didn’t come to stay; I really hoped that Danica would recover and I’d be back home by autumn. Wishful thinking… And a huge mistake. Anyway, although I wasn’t exactly eager to keep on living here, I never really had much of a choice – if a private animal shelter closes down, the city council is supposed to find some solution and take over the animals. As the city pound in Subotica has a capacity of 150 animals, and right now only dogs, the Felix kitties wouldn’t have anywhere to go. I couldn’t stand the thought of them being cast back out into the streets to suffer yet again or being put down.

Cat Shelter Felix was registered in 2011 and got a certificate from a veterinary inspection showing that it complies to the new Rulebook of Conditions that animal shelters need to fulfill in 2014, but it doesn’t change a thing. Even though Serbia has a no kill policy, I didn’t even dare to imagine what would’ve happened to the Felix cats had I not arrived at the shelter when I did.

Danica was certainly doing her best to take care of the cats, but with her health declining, things had been spiraling out of control over quite a long time. Only one cat was tested for FIV and FeLV; many cats that were periodically showing symptoms of some mysterious diseases had never had an accurate diagnosis; the house was a total disaster, with leaking ceilings from which chunks of mortar were falling, cracked flooring and old wooden windows that couldn’t seal properly.

There was a huge pile of rubbish behind the garage; the outdoor fence with the posts that had been deteriorating and crumbling for ages was still standing by pure miracle. And last but not least, the future of all of the shelter cats was still rather uncertain as this property didn’t belong to Danica but to a friend of hers who could try and get the cats evicted at any given time. Just great. As always, first things come first – Danica sold her apartment in Novi Sad and bought this 2200 square meter property together with the house of 130 square meters and the cats’ rooms for 15.000 euros, so the cats were finally safe no matter what.

Our new blog post has just been published – for giving any donations go to http://novisadcats.blogspot.rs/

The roof of the house was repaired last summer, the rotten wooden platforms and boards in the yard were replaced and the new ladders were made. As most of the cats which had been shedding abundantly for months were not able to replenish their fur because of a low quality diet, we began feeding them better food and the change was more than obvious; in just a couple of weeks’ time the kitties’ fur became shiny and smooth. We paid for around thirty trips with a garbage truck filled with trash (old broken wooden beams and boards, rags, worthless pieces of cloth, empty tins, wet cardboard boxes and so on) that went back and forth to a city dumpster.

Around 50 cats have been tested for FIV and FeLV so far and those who are FIV positive – luckily, none of them is FeLV positive – have been receiving interferon regularly since last year. Many of the cats that Danica took into the shelter in 2010 when she moved in are quite old and either chronically ill now or in delicate health; the same applies to Etela’s cats which survived the fire that ravaged her shelter in 2011 and ended up here. Whenever any of them gets sick, the treatment lasts for weeks, the costs are tremendous and despite all of our efforts, they almost never bounce back. Moreover, we’ve taken in at least 20 new cats since last autumn as apparently no one else living nearby was able to help (they wished they could but they had three or four cats already). Although we’ve been fighting numerous battles at the same time for months and accepting new cats was the last thing we needed, we simply couldn’t turn our backs on them, pretend they never existed and leave them to their fate. Someone had to save them and that someone is always hard to find – if not us, then who? This leads me to my next point, our current situation. With Danica out of the picture and only one friend who lives in Subotica and is worth her weight in gold, I’m stuck at the shelter now with more than 140 cats in total and two dogs.

Our new blog post has just been published – for giving any donations go to http://novisadcats.blogspot.rs/

It should probably be mentioned that I still bear the consequences of a serious auto immune disease I had and therefore walk with crutches, but no one should feel pity for me, I’m fine and totally able to take care of myself, my cats and my dogs.

What was left of Danica’s money was used for the renovation of two rooms in the house, one of which was refurbished in April and the other is about to be finished soon, the work is still in progress. The entire house was supposed to be renovated when Danica sold her apartment, but most of the money she had received was spent in the meantime on cat food and vet bills for the shelter cats. The sad truth is that our monthly costs are an average of around 2.500 euros, but we haven’t raised not even one third of that sum in ages with all the problems that needed to be solved, so we were using our personal savings and all of our income for as long as we could. Right now we are flat broke, we can’t keep borrowing money from friends and relatives forever (and we’re expected to pay off these debts one day also) so I fear we will soon reach the point of not being able to feed and treat the cats properly if we don’t think of something smart and soon.

We are now applying for various grants for shelter improvements, but without some serious help the shelter will not be able to hold on much longer.

If we somehow manage to get the funding we need, we could enlarge the outdoor enclosure for the cats while strengthening the existing chain linked fence (which is a must this summer as it’s barely holding up, after sagging under the weight of snow year after year) and we would get 30 square meters more. We need fencing with finer mesh that could be added to the existing fence which is already enclosing the shelter as it’s become weaker as time’s gone by and the links are too large to prevent little kittens and skinnier adults as well from escaping through the wire. It would still leave us with half of this property empty, as the shelter currently occupies less than one half of it and if we succeed in finding enough sponsors sometime in future, we would be able to build one more outdoor enclosure as big as this one, with at least one large kitty room. Then we’d have enough space to take in dozens of lonely, hopeless and abused strays who would be our temporary residents – we could get them ready for adoption and they would stay with us until finding well screened forever homes.

That being said, I hope the time will come when we’ll be able to replace the outdoor fence which is already threatening to fall on us. From this point on, we will have to create monthly fundraisers for covering the costs of cat food and vet care for around 130 shelter cats (I’ll continue supporting my own pets, like I’ve done for years). However, I’m honestly not able to cover the ongoing costs of all the shelter kitties, regardless of how much I wish I could, so if and when we fail to raise enough funds, the cats will go hungry and without proper vet care. And if the shelter closes down due to the lack of funding, it will be the end for all of its residents. We are doing everything we can to stay afloat, but we can’t give what we don’t have and we don’t know how to find money where there is none. We’ve fulfilled all of our legal obligations a long time ago, all of the shelter cats are vaccinated, spayed/neutered and the younger ones are microchipped as well, but we have never had any kind of help from the state in the form of Governmental funding to help and improve the conditions for our shelter residents. Felix shelter, like all of the shelters in the world, relies entirely on donations, on good will and the generosity of supporters around the world; if we don’t receive enough support, the shelter will cease to exist in the near future. And if we have to beg, cry and plead for help two times a day, so be it. Thank you to all of you who’ve had enough patience to read this post and a thousand thanks to those who have been diligently supporting our kitties for years now!

Without you, there would be no us.

19/8/16 – Donation to help Annemarie start a much better life.

Dear Mark,

Please accept our heartfelt thanks for supporting our projects.

Your kind donation will go directly to helping our animal welfare initiatives in Asia.

Further update 18/8 1157GMT. Annemarie arrives at sanctuary.

LIVE – so you know how this ends?

Rescued sun bear Annemarie arrives, she leaves the truck and is wheeled off to quarantine ahead of a new life.

And if that was all that happened this would be the greatest day in the life of this bear.

For the rest of us it would be a day to remember for all the right reasons. A day when seven years of cruelty ended for beautiful Annemarie.

Except something else happened.

…

Update 18/8 0845GMT – – Things are now underway – watch the first short video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdYgajvd4jo

Animals Asia tweeted: Follow a LIVE timeline of Annemarie’s rescue starting around 9 hours form now:

Bought as an exotic pet while just a cub, this seven-year-old sun bear has only ever known life behind bars – until now.

Follow the rescue live here from 8am Vietnam Time, Thursday, August 17.

While the illegality of the bear bile industry means that owners will routinely deny extracting bear bile, it’s believed that in this case, the bear has not suffered bile extractions.

However with bile farms still operating and with a market for bear parts for use in traditional medicine, the rescuers are thankful for the voluntary handover and keen for it to take part as soon as possible.

The bear will be given an anesthetic ahead of a transfer to a transport cage before being moved to Animals Asia’s Vietnam Bear Rescue Centre almost 200kms away.

The rescue is going ahead following liaison with the local Forestry and assistance from local charity ENV.

The bear has been named “Annemarie” by the rescuers – after their previous Bear and Vet Team Director and friend Annemarie Weegenaar who recently moved on after a decade in the post.

Tuan Bendixsen Animals Asia’s Vietnam Director said:

It’s likely that this rescue can be completed inside a single day with the bear entering sanctuary quarantine the same day.

Animals Asia has rescued nearly 600 bears – the vast majority from the bear bile industry. Annemarie will be the 150th bear currently being cared for at the Vietnam sanctuary.

Around 1,200 bears are still caged in Vietnam by the bear bile industry with over 10,000 more in China.

Petition link:

Target: Mrs. Elizabeth Glibbery, Manager of Toronto Animal Services

Goal: Demand the maximum penalty for the patron who brought a lion cub into a nightclub to take selfies.

A patron allegedly brought a lion cub into a nightclub and used him to take selfies. The cub was reportedly rented from a zoo that is already facing animal cruelty charges. Demand the maximum penalty in this case.

Using a wild animal for social purposes is cruel and illegal. Toronto Animal Services is investigating this incident. Sign below and demand the maximum penalty in this case.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Mrs. Glibbery,

A lion cub was brought into a Toronto nightclub and used as a prop for selfies. A patron reportedly rented the cub from a zoo. We demand that you recommend the maximum penalty in this case.

Many recognized the lion cub by his collar. He appears to be one of four lion cubs born at the Bowmanville zoo, a zoo currently facing charges of animal cruelty. The zoo advertises “lion cub encounters” and has rented its animals out to the public in the past, according to reports.

This lion cub is still very young and needs to be with his mother. Passing him around a nightclub is dangerous to both the cub and its patrons. We demand that you recommend the maximum penalty in this case.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

All the information below is in a series of sizes and jumbled; but the info would take forever to arrange properly. Thus we have included as it arrives in different sizes etc. The important bits – the links and the info, should be there. SAV.
