16 DOGS ARE IN BOARDING KENNELS AND THEIR FUTURE IS NOW A VERY UNCERTAIN. WE ARE PAST DUE ON THEIR BOARDING FEES ARE FIND WE ARE IN REALLY BIG TROUBLE… WE ARE APPEALING TO EVERYONE TO HELP US KEEP THESE STRAY DOGS OFF THE STREETS AND SAFE!!!
Lina’s Animal Rescue is organisation for animal welfare from Serbia.
We have 19 dogs in small private unfinished shelter, 20 dogs in 2 boarding kennels and 14 kitties in one rescuer’s home.
Funds are desperately needed to pay the boarding kennel fees. We have debt for February for 16 dogs . The life of street dogs everywhere is difficult, but here in Serbia the dog catchers kill them rather than rescue them.
Finding homes is very difficult as the culture in Serbia is not to adopt dogs, but rather buy a puppy then turn it out in the streets later when it is grown.
Each dog’s boarding fees are 60€ per month ( 40 boarding kennel + 20 food ) . Please help us , this is URGENT APPEAL !

Due primarily to language issues we are currently leaving all contact (and opposition work) associated with this to our Serbian campaigner friends. Change and opposition has to come from within Serbia, by the Serbian people; not by outside Europeans. But you can give your support and opposition to the current proposals by signing the petition link below – Thanks – SAV.
——————————————————
After examining the working version of the Amendment of the Animal Welfare Act of the Republic of Serbia, it introduced the concept of “quarantine for a lost and abandoned animals,” which lasts 15 days, after which the animals can be “killed humanely.”
This mean that thousands and thousands of animals being killed and no one will be able to help it.
PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE
Petition wording
After examining the working version of the Amendment of the Animal Welfare Act of the Republic of Serbia, it introduced the concept of “quarantine for a lost and abandoned animals,” which lasts 15 days, after which the animals can be “killed humanely.”
We believe that the amendments to the Law which was never fully implemented are counter-productive and unacceptable to us, the citizens, and that in no way it will solve the problem of abandoned animals with killing thousands of healthy animals.
Also, we consider that in the beginning of work on the amendments to the Act must include representatives of civil society. This is enforced by the “Guidelines for the involvement of civil society in the process of adopting regulations” adopted by the Government of the Republic of Serbia on 26 August 2014.
We want solution to the problem of abandoned animals in a humane and sustainable manner.

Mark Johnson (SAV – this site) and Philip Lymbery (CEO at CIWF – http://www.ciwf.org.uk/about-us/our-staff/philip-lymbery/ ) have known each other and been campaigning (farm animal) friends for some 25+ years. They originally got to know each other regarding their extensive campaigning regarding the live transport of farm animals from the Kent ports of SE England and other parts of the UK to mainland Europe back in the 80’s.
You can read more about Mark’s long term work with CIWF by reading ‘About Us’ – https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/about-us/ – in 2003 Mark was awarded the ‘campaigner of the year’ in recognition of his work into the UK live export trade (calves, sheep, pigs) and also for his investigative work as part of the CIWF Investigations Unit into the export of live horses to Europe for the meat trade.
You can read more from Philip on his current regular CIWF blog page – http://www.philiplymbery.com/
Philip’s recent book ‘Farmageddon’ – which lifts the lid on intensive farming around the world has been made into a film also. You can see this by looking at the following links from either CIWF or directly on Youtube. Links are given below – please take a look as this is worth seeing !!!
Described by Joanna Lumley as ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ for food and farming, a year and several reprints later, Bloomsbury is re-launching Farmageddon in a new-look paperback format. To celebrate, CIWF have pulled together this short film showing some of the key moments of the three-year journey behind the closed doors of the factory farm industry.

There is a White Lotus Wall of Remembrance on the ‘Free Tibet’ site on which people have said their feelings, and given their support to make Tibet free of Chinese domination once again – and it will happen.
You can read all the messages to the Tibetan people by clicking on the following:
The White Lotus Book starts with the following introduction:
“The following words are also written in the White Lotus Book of Remembrance, paying tribute to all those Tibetans who have lost their lives as a result of China’s occupation.
When Tibet is free we will deliver the Book to the people of Tibet in their homeland”.
Self-immolation protests in Tibet
Since March 2011, more than 130 people are known to have set themselves on fire inside Tibet in protest against the repressive Chinese occupation of Tibet.
Self-immolation protests have become less frequent in 2013 and 2014 but these and other protests are taking place over a widening area of Tibet. Some Tibetans have also set themselves alight outside Tibet and China.
Although many monks and nuns have set themselves alight, most self-immolation protesters were not from religious institutions. They include teachers, students and herdsmen, as well as mothers and fathers.
The youngest was just 15 years old
Visit this Q&A to find out more about the self-immolations. More information about all protests in Tibet can be found here.
Details of each confirmed individual self-immolation in Tibet can be found below.

The following is a letter sent to the French authorities by our good friend Lesley at Eyes on Animals; regarding a French pig transporter which overturned a few weeks ago. We did not know about this in the UK, but it obviously made news in mainland Europe. We feel the need to show you what has been written by Lesley.
You will also see a link to the video of the accident and the suffering animals; which are the subject of Lesley’s letter.
Lesley takes up the issue from here:
————————————————–
I am sending this out today to the gendarmes and official vets in France, related to the clean-up of the pig truck accident a few weeks ago there.
I have added all the logos.
Let´s keep our fingers crossed for a response.
If I do, I will let you all know.
Bises en bon weekend
Lesley – Director – Eyes on Animals –
Warning – animals suffering in this video:
The original letter in French which Lesley sent to the authorities.
Below is a translation (Google Translate) of what the letter says.
———————————————-
Dear ……
Your services were responsible for monitoring of an accident involving a pig transport truck rolled on its side at 6:30 am on March 4 in Britain. Shocking video of this accident circulated on social networks throughout Europe. This film is visible on the following link:
We are writing on behalf of animal protection organizations in Europe. We discussed
the pictures with transport companies of animals and we want to express our astonishment and vis-à-vis concern the method used to support the rugged truck and clean up, hoping it would not happen again.
When an accident occurs and which involves a vehicle transporting live animals, driver of the truck and the animals are cared for first. In the case of this accident, the driver was taken to hospital, but animals were still inside the truck injured when a crane was sent there. This raised the truck and handed over its wheels with injured pigs and struggling inside. Video images show pigs suspended the 3rd level of the truck (4 meters high!), with their hind legs trapped inside the compartment and front legs struggling in the void, struggling to reach the soil.
Some pigs were crushed under the weight of other conspecifics stacked above them. These pigs had been extremely traumatized and too long; we can then wonder why their suffering was extended by new injuries and a state of Panic?
The best method would be to unload pigs as soon as the driver had been taken to hospital, saving animals to await the arrival of the crane and still be inside the truck when it was back on its wheels.
We talked with experts who are management of truck accidents transporting live animals. They tell us that in the formations, it is specified that the truck drivers, accident, must be emptied of all its animals. These must then be gathered to protect them from further accidents. Animals injured and suffering should be immediately euthanized. After this step, the truck can then be back on its wheels. In the case of this accident, the truck roof should have been open immediately to allow the release of pigs, its collection and treatment before the crane is used to straighten the vehicle.
Can a particular reason to explain the procedure followed in this accident?
No doubt you are also shocked as we are by this accident, regret them decisions taken and would improve in the future support of this type transportation accident?
We are aware that an accident involving live animals is a complicated event manage and that there is no ideal solutions.
However, expertise and skills that can improve the efficiency of the management Load exist. We would be happy to help you benefit from this experience in you proposing to organize a seminar to establish a synergy between your expertise field and specific external expertise.
Thank you for your understanding and awaiting your reply
Please accept, Madam, the expression of our respectful greetings.
Lesley Moffat
Director – Eyes on Animals

Please give your immediate support to Igor and what has been found to be happening in Macedonia – Thanks SAV.
“DOGS SKINNED ALIVE , MUTILATED , SEXUALLY ABUSED , TORTURED AND BRUTALLY KILLED!!!”
Petition Link:
Petition wording:
-
-
target: Adnan Jašary, Minister of Justice of Macedonia and Mrs. Gordana Jankuloska, Minister of Internal Affairs of Macedonia
Dogs disappearing overnight nowhere to be found.
Tied, starved, and traumatized dogs, dogs left without water is the image one gets upon entering an abandoned building under construction in Kočani (Macedonia).
Once you step a foot inside your blood freezes and cold sweat covers your body – always a new dog staring back at you, terrified and asking for help, dehydrated and starved. At the same time you get an unstoppable urge to vomit from the unbearable stench of the rotting corpses.
Turn around and you see the remains of the bodies of dead dogs – decomposed corpses, scattered limbs.
In the house there always are empty beer bottles and numerous used condoms. There is horrible evidence and clues that dogs are sexually assaulted, abused, and then murdered by a person that has been reported and known to police, but no one ever did anything to put him behind bars.
Please give us your support and sign this petition so we can alarm the public and make relevant institutions act.
This person was last seen yesterday taking another dog. Please sign and share!

Over the last few days, night temperatures have been below zero again, so the arrival of the gas delivery truck was more than welcomed yesterday.
Just when we were down to around 5% of the total volume of the gas tank left, heating fuel arrived and all of the kitties’ rooms are warm again!
Thank you all a million times over for coming to our rescue again, this wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for your caring generosity!
