Serbia: Felix Shelter Babies – Tik,Tak and Tok.

Posted on October 7, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Please, share and help if you can!

Tik,Tak and Tok are siblings, three unwanted babies that had been living at a construction site in Belgrade since they were born. Their mother was a stray which disappeared a long time ago and they were forced to fend for themselves in that dangerous place, fed by locals but totally on their own and unprotected.

They were approximately three months old when they arrived at the shelter at the beginning of September, skinny and confused, with voracious appetites, but cuddly, curious and sweet.

Unfortunately, only one of them, a little tuxie boy named Tak, seems to be healthy. His brother Tik has a congenital birth defect, he was born with a deformed right rear leg which needs to be amputated.

Their sister, a tabby and white girl we named Tok, has only one eye as her other eye has already leaked out because of some untreated infection (probably herpes, chlamydia or both) and what’s left of it will have to be removed.

Although we thought Tok also had a harelip when she was brought to the shelter, we’re now more inclined to believe she was actually seriously injured some time ago, as a part of her lip is missing and she doesn’t have a cleft palate.

All three of them have fit in nicely right away and are getting stronger every day, so it’s time to start thinking about their surgeries.

The amputation of Tik’s leg and the removal of what’s left of Tok’s right eye will cost around 300 euros/$430CAD.

We need all of the help we can get in order to fix the serious problems these sad and neglected babies have the best way we can and enable them to live the long and happy lives they deserve.

Every donation counts, no matter what the size!

06.10.2014.

Dopunjavamo prijavu konstatacijom da resursi Ministarstva poljoprivrede i zaštite životne sredine nisu partijski plen SPS , da može I dalje da radi ko šta hoće i dalje crpi javni novac i presipa u bezdane i crpi prirodne resurse Srbije, te s toga Vlada RS, na čelu sa premijerom i potpredsednicima Vlade mora da izvrši nadzor nad radom i zakonitošću rada ministarke gosp. Snežane Bogosavljević -Bošković I probudi je iz komatoznog stanja nečinjenja I nezakonitog činjenja zaposlenih u tom ministarstvu, ili je smeni sa te funkcije.

Načelnik RVI Kruševac nam se smeje u lice i kaže, ma pišite šta hoćete, …..briga je otrpilike, .po prijavama ne postupa ,ili postupa mimo zakona, ne dostavlja odgovore, neće da primi prijavu i nikom ništa, a takvo bezobrazno ponašanje dolazi samo od zaštite ministra i Uprave za veterinu koja godinama održava haotično stanje u toj oblasti izlažući i građane opasnosti od zaraza, kao i životinje.

Činjenično stanje je da se u ovom ministarstvu ne menja ama baš ništa godinama, isti ljudi sede I dalje krše Zakone RS I dalje oštećuju budžet RS I mnogo koštaju poreske obveznike za sav haos I korupciju koju održavaju sistematski a korupcionaški zidovi su neprobojni za nas kao NVO.

Ministarka Snežana Bogosavljević -Bošković je partijski kadar SPS-a. Ukoliko nije sposobna da se nosi sa napornim ministarskim poslom, neka sama ode! Ili je smenite!

Umesto nje, predlažemo, postavite gosp. Zoranu Mihajlović da raščisti to i zavede red, jer je ovo ministarstvo ogromno i mnogo budžetskih para troši, problemi su ogromni i traju, ništa se ne menja! Godinama !!! Načelnik RVI za Srbiju, gosp. Sanja Čelebićanin je ista godinama i godinama traje sav haos, nerad i neprimanjivanje Zakona svih RVI u Srbiji i nikom ništa!

Ministarstvo unutrašnjih poslova I gosp. Nebojša Stefanović sa pratećim službama u koje verujemo, mora da počisti PU Kruševac u PS Ćićevac od nepotizma, rođačko partijskog zapošljavanja I svih zloupotreba službenog položaja koji iz toga proističu. Samo za slučaj nezakonitog oduzimanja laneta Nani u Ćićevcu uz asistenciju pol. insp. Vidakovića , podneli smo 3 dopune pritužbe na rad I na kraju na odluku komisije, žalbu ,u samo 2 meseca, podneli smo i više prijava za zlostavljanje predmetnog laneta na razne načine, I policiji I republičkoj veterinarskog inspekciji u Kruševcu, niko ni ušima ne mrda, svi ne čine ništa, plata ide redovno, oni “spavaju” jer ne mogu da pokidaju korupcionaške lance u koje su se sami zavezali.

Ministarka ćuti a ćute I nadležni u policiji koji bi morali postupati.

Videti prilog.

Insistiramo da se lane Nani , zatočeno u fazaneriji LU Ćićevac, odmah vrati u svoju ljudsku porodicu u Ćićevcu koja ga željno očekuje I od njega na taj način otklone sve opasnosti kojima je izloženo puna 2 meseca. Procedura po zakonu se može završtiti ali lane mora biti bezbedno, mi ne možemo pod takvom presijom I kršenjem zakona sedeti mirno a ne možemo ni podnositi prijave za šta postoje dokazi jer prijave stoje negde u fijoci, samo se LU Ćićevac obavesti da ima nova prijava i tako lane može stradati kad se predsedniku LU Miliji Đorđeviću koji vedri i oblači u Ćićevcu i okolini smuči i lane I prijave, i lane “nestane” , a sve to štiti upravo ministar poljoprivrede I unutrašnjih poslova svojim nečinjenjem.

Ponavljamo opet, da pitomo lane Nani po Zakonu o divljači I lovstvu nije lovna divljač te s toga LU Čićevac uopšte nije smelo da ga oduzima.

Insistiramo na hitnom postupanju I hitnom dostavljanju odgovora šta je učinjeno po ovoj prijavi.

S poštovanjem

Serbia: Introducing ‘Freddie’ at Felix Shelter.

Posted on October 6, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Introducing ‘Freddie’

From Danica Mirkovic Shelter Felix

Freddie is a young kitty boy who had the misfortune of being shot by a hunter with a shotgun in February of 2014.

He was found seriously injured, with a completely shattered front left leg and a broken front right leg.

Both of his injured legs were operated on months ago, but his body is still chock-full of buckshot.

After the surgeries, he spent four months in a cage with a metal rod put into one of his broken legs while the other one was splinted and two more months recovering once the metal rod was removed.

He was kept in foster care, and was not allowed to move very much . He was brought him to our shelter in August 2014, as his foster caretaker wished to give him the chance of a fulfilled life in the company of other cats.

Unaccustomed to the curious crowd of kitties, he is still somewhat withdrawn and shy, but he’s able to walk, although he’s limping and his front left leg is kind of stiff.

Hopefully time will heal all wounds.

Please give anything you can to help with his recovery – thank you.

Serbia: ‘Nani’ Deer Update 6/10/14. EU MEP Now Asked For Legal Advice Against Serbian Minister Due To Non Compliance With Serbian Animal Welfare Legislation.

Posted on October 6, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

UPDATE ‘NANI’ 6/10/14

The current situation with Nani the deer is not good. As you can see from the photographs below showing the conditions; Nani is not being looked after by the hunters very well at all – what would we expect ? !!

Today we at SAV have been in contact with the EU regarding the situation and the (still) lack of decision / action by Serbian Minister of Agriculture, Mrs Bogosavljevic Boskovic; who originally had 30 days for acting in agreement to Article 58 of the Serbian Law of animal welfare in relation to making a decision about what was going to happen to Nani.

We are now asking the Enlargement Commission of the EU to seriously consider Serbia’s lack of action to ‘enforce its own law’ – enforcing a nations own ‘rules of law’ a fundamental requirement of any state seeking EU membership for the future.

In addition, we have telephoned the office of a UK MEP and asked them to advise us if we are now able (as another European member) to take legal action against the Serbian Agriculture Ministry for not acting in agreement to Article 58. of Serbian Law of animal welfare, which requires a response (in this case, for Nani) within 30 days.

The Serbian President has even written to the Serbian Agriculture Ministry regarding the situation of Nani the deer; but to date, we still have had no response from Agriculture. See the letter from the President to EPAR informing them of the situation and the requirements of the Ministry of Agriculture at:

https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/2014/10/03/serbia-31014-nani-update-serbian-president-now-writes-to-agriculture-ministry-about-issue-asking-them-to-respond-to-epar/

We are hoping to hear back from the EU in London today (6/10/14) regarding how we can further progress regarding the issue of Nani; as Serbian Minister of Agriculture, Mrs Bogosavljevic Boskovic does not appear to be capable of complying with any rules of Serbian law. The 30 day final decision time was passed several weeks ago. If this is the case, that Serbia cannot even enforce it own laws within Serbia, then the EU needs to be reminded of this situation; and it has been today.

Here below are the latest photographs of Nani and the conditions it is currently living in at present at the facility of the hunters. These pictures are also being forwarded to the EU today to further support our claim that Mrs Bogosavljevic Boskovic is not complying with Serbian law or that required for Serbia to become a future member of the EU.

Nani should be returned to Mrs. Mitic immediately for her to become the adoptive parent she was after hunters killed the mother of Nani.

It is not asking the world, but Minister Mrs Bogosavljevic Boskovic seems to delay ever having to make a very simple decision. It is now time she made a decision in favour of returning Nani to Mrs. Mitic as the gaurdian / parent.

UK: League Against Cruel Sports BANNED From Attending Conservative Government Party Conference.

Posted on October 5, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

The UK anti hunting group the ‘League Against Cruel Sports’ (LACS); has been doing some fantastic work as always.

We celebrate 90 years of saving British wildlife with them:

serbiananimalsvoice.com/2014/01/31/uk-celebrate-90-years-of-saving-foxes-and-other-wildlife-with-the-lacs/

David Cameron – UK Prime Minister – A Real Blood Lust To Return To Hunting With Dogs !

As we have always said and shown in many of our posts on this site; current UK Prime Minister David Cameron wishes to bring back the current ban on hunting with dogs as soon as he can. Cameron is also behind the recent badger cull in the UK, which despite killing many badgers; a protected species here in the UK, did nothing to actually prove or show that badgers were behind the spread of Bovine TB.

The badger cull is just another vote rigging ploy by the Conservatives in some pathetic attempt to gain from the farming community in the General Election which will take place in the UK during May 2015.

Being utterly anti hunt, the LACS was banned from attending the Conservative Party Conference this year to put forward the animal welfare side of the argument.

LACS CEO Joe Duckworth made a statement on the situation which you can read at:

www.league.org.uk/news-and-opinion/press-releases/2014/sep/animal-welfare-charity-barred-from-conservative-party-conference

The LACS was allowed to attend all other Political party conferences this year. The League was granted a pass for the annual conferences of the Greens, UKIP, the Liberal Democrats, the Labour Party, SNP and Plaid Cymru. The Conservative Party was the only party to reject their application.

We consider this just shows how the Conservatives want to keep the anti- hunt campaigners out of their shop; in order that they can try to allow wild animal killing back when they can.

Hopefully the elections in the UK in May 2015 will see Mr. Cameron fail to remain as PM; and with another political party having the majority in the House of Commons, we will continue to see hunting with dogs kept where it belongs – in the History boos and nowhere else !

In November 2013 the LACS launched a nationwide awareness campaign featuring the brilliant comedian Dave Spikey to highlight the importance of the Hunting Act in protecting British wildlife.

See the video via the following link which shows Dave in the ‘No Joke’ campaign:

(Note you may have to track the video back to the start)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7AQVXt7qVI#t=60

We DO NOT want to return to this animal abuse which celebrates around 10 years of a ban in the UK this year (2014). The Conservatives led by David Cameron DO WISH to return to this immense suffering being inflicted on British wildlife. Banning the LACS from their party conference was just another action of theirs to try and return to full blown hunting of wild animals in the UK.

We abhor animal cruelty and will do anything that we can in the lead up to the UK General Election in May 2015. The Conservatives and Mr. Cameron must be removed from government. I think this is very much the feeling of most of the general public in the UK at this present time.

Look at the following picture of a hunted fox that I took back in the 1980’s when sabs across the country were doing all that they could to stop and disrupt hunts. Ask yourself; do you wish to see an animal abused in this way again if the hunting act is repealed by a Conservative government ? – NO – we wish to see a government in the UK that supports and promotes animal welfare.

You can visit the League Against Cruel Sports at their Website = http://www.league.org.uk/#

Go to http://www.league.org.uk/our-campaigns for all the information on current campaigns that the LACS are involved with.

As ‘No Joke’ Dave Spikey says in the video above; why not become a member of the LACS ?

Visit the League shop for some great Christmas presents at: http://www.league.org.uk/our-shop

KEEP CRUELTY HISTORY !!

Regards Mark.

USA: Please Act Before Honey Bees Are Extinct !

Posted on October 5, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

I just signed an urgent petition save bees from deadly pesticides, will you join me?

In a few days’ time a task force will recommend what the White House should do about these poisons, and if we get 3.5 million people to call for a ban, and deliver our call in time, we can help prevent honey bees going extinct.

See the massive petition here:

https://secure.avaaz.org/en/save_the_bees_us_pet_loc/?kwwttib

Thanks

Mark – SAV.

Dear friends,

Silently, billions of bees are dying off and our entire food chain is in danger. Bees don’t just make honey — they are a giant, humble workforce, pollinating 75% of growing plants. But in days the US could move to ban the toxic pesticides that are killing them off.

We know we can get a ban — after a mega Avaaz campaign last year, the EU banned this group of poisons that multiple scientists blame for bees’ rapid demise.

Right now chemical companies are furiously lobbying US authorities to stop action. But insider allies say a massive public mandate could tip the scales towards a ban. Let’s give it to them! If the US moves, it will set in motion a ripple effect on the rest of the world.

We have no time to lose — members of the White House’s bee task force will report with proposals in days. Already 3.2 million of us have backed this campaign. Let’s race to send messages to the heads of the task force before the meeting. This is not just about saving bees, this is about our survival.

Click to send a message now:

https://secure.avaaz.org/en/save_the_bees_us_sam_loc/?biVEiab&v=47259

Bees are vital to life on earth — every year pollinating plants and crops with an estimated $40bn value. Without immediate action to ensure bees’ continued pollination, many of our favourite fruits, vegetables, and nuts could vanish from our shelves and ⅓ of our food supply will be gone.

Recent years have seen a steep global decline in bee populations — some bee species are already extinct and just in California — the biggest food producer in the US — beekeepers are losing a third of their bees each year. Scientists have been scrambling for answers. While some studies, often funded by the chemical companies, argue this may be due to a combination of factors including disease, habitat loss and toxic chemicals, powerful independent studies conclude neonicotinoid pesticides are to blame.

It is this startling evidence and super effective campaigning by Avaaz and partners that won the EU ban. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required by Congress to regulate toxins, but under the influence of big chemical companies, for years they’ve fudged the law. Now the White House’s ‘Pollinators Health Task Force’ could get the EPA to cancel the pesticides’ registration so they can’t be sold in the US. This is our chance!

The task force reports in days. Already 3.2 million of us around the world have backed this campaign. Let’s race to send thousands of messages to deliver our call to the heads of the agencies who sit on the task force before they reach their decision:

https://secure.avaaz.org/en/save_the_bees_us_sam_loc/?biVEiab&v=47259

We can no longer leave our delicate food chain in the hands of chemical companies and the regulators that are in their pockets. Banning these pesticides will move us closer to a world safe for ourselves and the other species we care about and depend on.

With hope,

Terra, Alex, Alice, Ari, Nick, Laila, Marigona, Ricken, and the rest of the Avaaz team

England: 4/10/14 – World Animal Day – Live Exports 8 Hours Campaign – We Still Await A Response From EU Commissioner Borg.

Posted on October 4, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Photo: Val Cameron

4/10/14 – EU Live Animal Transport.

On 18/9 we had verbal communication from Commissioner Borg’s office at the EU that our official letter in relation to a maximum one off journey time of 8 hours for all farm animals in transport across the EU was being reviewed and that ‘issues were being addressed’.

We were also informed that we would have an official response from the Commissioner in the future.

https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/2014/09/18/live-exports-eu-live-farm-animal-transport-update-18914/

To date, we have not yet had a formal reply to address our concerns expressed in our original letter; but as with all EU correspondence, it is a matter of waiting and waiting until something arrives. We know and are very confident that we will get a formal response in time; but as yet it has not happened. When things do progress; which we hope will be this month (October), we will reproduce the information onto this site.

Past links regarding our recent activity relating to the 8 hours campaign with the EU:

More to come when we have a formal response from Commissioner Borg.

In the meantime; we keep on waiting as we do with many ‘official’ things !!!
