Dear friends

We send to You a mayday message :

We need e-mail addresses of ‘DeutscheWelleTV’ – they have the ok to go in our area and make TV report; and if You can help with more  international TV and  International internet news reaction or by contacting however – please.

It is very urgent because  hunters and police arrested 2 months baby deer  and took him from his home , now they want to put him into some Zoo. . First plan was slaughter, but because of our action the baby deer was saved from  slaughter; but now hunters  spread story that the baby deer  will be put  into a zoo.

First story was  that  hunter will put him to Nature into the forest – all alone; a 2 month old baby.

 

All Zoos all over world are animal jails , and especially zoos in Serbia which are extremely terrible jails.

Mrs Dragana Mitic wants her baby deer back to her home, not to be sent to a zoo.

Baby deer is named ‘Nani’, and has no natural mother.  It wants to go home to Mrs Dragana Mitic – she cares about this baby and took care of him from very early in life when hunters killed his mother.

Mrs Dragana Mitic saved Nani`s first 2 months of life and now hunters and police officers arrested baby deer Nani.

 

By Serbian laws; Mrs Dragana Mitic has the  right  to receive  baby deer as she has ased for his returnk by the official way : Agreement from Minister of Agriculture for Nani be back to home; and Nani has the right to live like a member of Mrs Dragana Mitic family.

Nani suffers now with the hunters and he will always suffer in a Zoo jail; he will suffer to the end of his Life .

Slavica

Idaho Wants to Make Wildlife Killing Contests an Annual Event:

Please Send Letter to Oppose

 

SOURCE PROJECT COYOTE

BACKGROUND

You may recall this past December Idaho held a highly controversial killing contest targeting both wolves and coyotes. This was the first time wolves were targeted in a predator killing contest since their reintroduction.

We have just learned the killing contest sponsor, a group called Idaho for Wildlife, is seeking to repeat this contest over several years, this time not only targeting wolves and coyotes — with prizes awarded for killing the most coyotes and the largest wolf–  but also other predators, in a multi-year “predator derby” scheduled for the next five winters (with the next one scheduled for January 2-4, 2015).

This event would be damaging to the affected ecosystem, harmful to ecologically vital species, incompatible with scientific principles of wildlife management, and offensive to the concept of fair chase, ethical hunting.

Your comments are needed NOW. Urge the BLM to deny Idaho for Wildlife’s request for a special recreation permit that would allow contestants to kill predators on over 3 million acres of public lands in Idaho for the next five years.

The BLM is currently soliciting input from the public on the scope of what should be considered in an Environmental Assessment (EA). The issues identified for analysis in the EA include the impact on economic and social values, the impact on existing recreational uses, and the affect on wildlife habitat and threatened species in the targeted area.

Please don’t miss this opportunity to voice your opposition (you do not have to be an Idaho resident to comment as this is federal BLM land- YOUR land!).

SAMPLE LETTER

Dear Planner Townley,

I am writing to voice my opposition to  Idaho for Wildlife’s request for a special recreation permit that would allow contestants to kill predators on over 3 million acres of public lands in Idaho for the next five years.  Please do not provide these permits.  Allow me this opportunity to elaborate.

Killing contests have nothing in common with fair chase, ethical hunting. Technology, baiting, and “calling” place wildlife at an even greater and unfair disadvantage. Hunting in winter, when species can be easily tracked in snow and when most animals are working hard to survive contravenes the notion of fair chase. Killing predators, or any wild animal, as part of a ‘contest’ or ‘derby’ is ethically indefensible and ecologically reckless.

Bloodsport contests are conducted for profit, entertainment, prizes and, simply, for the “fun” of killing. No evidence exists showing that predator killing contests control problem animals or serve any beneficial management function. Coyote populations that are not exploited (that is hunted, trapped, or controlled by other means), form stable “extended family” social structures that naturally limit overall coyote populations through defense of territory and the suppression of breeding by subordinate female members of the family group.

The importance of wolves, coyotes and other predators in maintaining order, stability, and productivity in ecosystems has been well documented in peer- reviewed scientific literature. Coyotes provide myriad ecosystem services that benefit humans including their control of rodents and rabbits, which compete with domestic livestock for available forage. As apex predators wolves increase biodiversity and ecological integrity.

With fewer than 700 wolves in Idaho and poaching a common problem, allowing a killing contest of a species just off the endangered species list is reckless, indefensible and counter to sound science.

Economically, a live wolf is worth far more than a dead one. Wolf watching has brought in millions of dollars into Idaho and tourism is a major economic revenue source.

Wildlife killing contests perpetuate a culture of violence and send the message to children that life has little value and that an entire species of animals is disposable.

Wildlife killing contests put non-target animals, companion animals, and people at risk. Domestic dogs are sometimes mistaken for coyotes and wolves.

Although I do not currently reside in Idaho, I would be unwilling to visit should these revolting “contests” continue.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue.

A new post by David Kirby on ‘takepart’:

Will SeaWorld’s Financial Woes Force It to Free the Whales?

The company’s stock plunges as it admits animal rights protests are driving away customers.

August 14, 2014 By David Kirby

David Kirby has been a professional journalist for 25 years. His third book, Death at Seaworld, was published in 2012.

The business of owning and training captive killer whales in the United States just became a lot less profitable.

SeaWorld rocked the financial world and thrilled animal rights activists on Wednesday when its stock price dropped by 35 percent to a record low after the company announced that attendance at its water parks this year has fallen 4.3 percent.

The company blamed its woes in part on protests against its orca shows and legislation introduced in California that would ban using killer whales for entertainment in that state. “The company believes attendance in the quarter was impacted by demand pressures related to recent media attention surrounding proposed legislation in the state of California,” SeaWorld said in a statement.

The idea that SeaWorld would regard Shamu as a financial liability would have been almost unthinkable a short time ago, despite the fallout from the documentary Blackfish, which scrutinized the company’s treatment of captive killer whales. In the wake of the film, a string of musical acts canceled performances at SeaWorld parks, and Southwest Airlines recently terminated its 25-year marketing partnership with the company.

Critics took heart from the fiscal collapse, which led many observers to wonder just how long the company can hold on to its iconic whales and still make money.

“I’ve been watching the stock price fall all day—it’s been shocking,” said Naomi Rose, a marine mammal scientist at the Animal Welfare Institute and a prominent captivity opponent. “SeaWorld should take this as a chance to do the right thing and change its business model. Otherwise the market will force it to change—and the company and the animals will suffer for it.”

Jeffrey Ventre, a former SeaWorld orca trainer featured in Blackfish and my book Death at SeaWorld, said he expected the company to rebound from the stock crash. “That said, the trend line for SeaWorld’s U.S. operations does not look good,” he noted.

The question now: What will SeaWorld do with its unpaid performers if its stock price continues to underperform?

Activists hope it will be forced to retire its killer whales to relatively tranquil sea pens, where they could live out their lives to the natural rhythms of the ocean without having to put on shows for tourists in exchange for dead smelt.

If the California bill, which has been tabled for at least a year, were to become law, those activists just might get their wish.

But SeaWorld likely has an alternative plan. The company has made no secret of its intention to build parks in China and the Middle East, where animal-welfare regulations are more lax and public opprobrium toward orca captivity is muted, at best.

“That’s where the corporation plans to take its circus,” Ventre said.

It would be a win-win for SeaWorld. The company could develop new, non-whale revenue in the U.S. and begin rehabilitating its sullied reputation here while also generating millions in profits by shipping its orcas overseas.

SeaWorld’s Worst Nightmare: Calif. Lawmaker to Propose Ban on Orcas in Captivity

It’s too soon to tell what SeaWorld will do. But if its stock continues to tank, shareholders may press the company to free the whales.

“Four and a half years ago, SeaWorld had the opportunity to lead the captivity industry in a change for the better,” said Samantha Berg, another former SeaWorld trainer, referring to the killing of trainer Dawn Brancheau by an orca at the company’s Orlando water park.

“They chose to fight for their old business model instead of moving with the times,” Berg said. “They could have been on the right side of history. Maybe the financial pressure will finally force them to do the right thing. I hope so.”

 

 

Serbia: Please Give Whatever You Can (Even $1) To Help Fix The Roof At Shelter Felix.

Below you’ll find a recent link which we posted in order to try and buy roof guttering in addition to helping Danica with the massive re-roofing that she has had to undertake at shelter Felix:

https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/2014/08/11/serbia-message-from-felix-shelter-can-you-donate-to-buy-us-some-roof-guttering-please-help-thank-you/ 

Here is the YouCaring site link which enables you to donate money directly to help this cause. 

http://www.youcaring.com/pet-expenses/help-the-feline-residents-of-cat-shelter-felix/161828 

As YouCaring say on their site – “We transfer donations directly into your PayPal or WePay account as soon as they are received. YouCaring does not charge its fundraisers, regardless of the amount of money they raise. Our site is supported by amazing donors from all over the world, which makes it the only truly free website of its kind”.

YouCaring is a free service and now fundraiser is charged for their services.

See more about the YouCaring service at: http://www.youcaring.com/how-it-works 

 

Over the last few days nothing has been donated by anybody to help pay for the new roofs at Felix shelter;  $1,565 has been raised of the $3,000 goal.

Whilst we appreciate the help and support given by many great people who have already donated, we are disappointed that things now seem to have stopped midway. It is essential that this roofing is sorted in order that the shelter can continue and take new cats as they arrive. If the money was not needed, then we would ask for it on behalf of shelter Felix. It is essential that the work be completed as soon as possible and definitely before the arrival of winter.

Above – Reasons why it is essential that donations be given to purchase new guttering !

So we are asking yet again if people can give something, anything, in the way of a donation to help get this roof repair completed. We are not asking for the world, simply a donation of five dollars, $10, $50, or more if you are able to stretch that far. Anything, even a donation of one dollar would help – we only need 1500 people to each give one dollar and the problem is sorted. If 150 people each gave $10, again the problem will be sorted. Is $10 a lot to ask of people nowadays ? – Just think of the help and forever home that you would be contributing to for felines that Danica has rescued and taken in from a pitiful life on the streets.

Please network, share and help if you can! It’s an emergency!

Dear friends, I guess you already know that we’ve been struggling with the roof renovation for more than two months now and the biggest problem, as usual, is the lack of funds.

Last years’ generous donation (for which we’re immensely grateful) covered the costs of the new roof itself, but with so many problems arising one after the other since the repair work began, we’re running into big debts yet again and there’s no end in sight.

As if it weren’t enough, the weather is definitely not on our side; it’s been raining extremely heavily over the last couple of weeks and we still have no gutters on the new roof, nor the money to purchase about 34 meters of it!

Our backyard is turning into a swampy muddy mess whenever it rains, all of the dividing walls and the brick watering station with the faucet are now covered with moss, algae or whatever this nasty, slimy, green sludge is, the first neighbour’s garage is now flooded and all of this because we have no gutters to manage the water!

We urgently need around 540 euros to purchase the gutters so that life can get back to normal again. I simply can’t borrow any more money right now, I’m already in debt up to my eyeballs!

Every dime and nickel helps and time’s running out on summer.

Serbia: UPDATE – Baby Deer 11/8/14. Hunters Give Pathetic Statement That They Will Return Baby Deer To Forest – For What ?; How Can It Look After Itself ? – A Pathetic Statement From Pathetic Hunters After Killing Its Mother There To Start With. How Pathetic Are These Paople ???

Baby Deer Latest News 11/8/14.

 

The latest is that the hunters have now said that they will put the baby deer back into the forest.

It must be remembered that it was these same hunters who killed the mother of the baby in the first place !

The youngster cannot live alone in the forest, as it requires the care as provided by Mrs Dragana Mitic.  In the forest there are carnivore animals and so it is obvious to everyone (except the hunters !) that the baby deer will not survive for very long.

Saying that they will return the baby deer to the forest is just a pathetic attempt by the hunters to try and make themselves look compassionate.  They are not – they killed the mother of the baby deer; that is not compassion, that is sheer murder for the fun of it.

If the baby deer is returned to the forest; then what will it eat ? – who will care about the deer and provide it with protection ?

We consider that this statement is just a pathetic and feeble attempt by the hunters to try and make themselves look better in the public eye.  It does not work and it will not work.

There is only one way now to provide care and protection for the baby deer and that is to immediately return it to its former carer, Mrs Dragana Mitic.  She is the only person who can provide the care necessary for this baby.

We demand it is returned to Mrs Dragana Mitic NOW or this will continue !!!

HITNO

Sta ste uradili  ? Jos nije ili mi nemamo vesti da je  konsultovan mamolog Zavoda za zastitu prirode, jos niste, ili nemamo vesti da je RVI  sagledala  dva prostora- u kojem je doziveo 2. gi mesec zivota i  fazaneriju u kojoj je  opasno razboleo  zbog pogresne hrane i  tretmana  ,ni veterinarski nalaz o zdravstvenom stanju laneta- pitamo se sta vas sprecava da radite po zakonu: neznanje ili  samovolja ? Cija?

Da bi se sakrili od zakona, cujemo da lovci sad  hoce da puste  2 mesecno odojce u prirodu, a majku su mu ubili, sad tako hoce i njega , vec ima tamo je dobio proliv  sto je za odojcad od zivotne opasnosti, to svi znamo. Takvog sada hoce  LU `HajdukVeljko`   da `vrate u prirodu~   cime nazalost pokazuju nepoznavanje propisa, pokusaj da se spasu od zakonskih sankcija koje im sleduju .

Ako to dozvolite  bicete u istoj meri odgovorni: RVI Krusevac, nacelnik i Nacelnik Odeljenja  veterinarske inspekcije Uprave za veterinu Ministarstva poljoprivrede.

Vi  imate pravo i duznost da  odojce lane bez majke koje je pripitomljeno i premlado da zivi i snalazi se samo u prirodi,  resenjem vratite u dvoriste u kojem ima uslove za zivot u skladu s potrebama vrste , u situaciji u koju su ga doveli lovci koji su mu ubili majku., a 1.8.2014. oteli iz divnog dvorista gde je  sretno zivelo- sada je kod njih dobilo proliv zbog  pogresne hrane .Uz majku, on bi naravno  trebao da zivi u prirodi, ali SAMO, bez majke  koju su pojeli lovci ,lane 2 mes starosti samo  sada NE SME BITI PUSTENO u prirodu , jer su u prirodi i carnivore i omnivore ciji je ovo  lane  plen i hrana, a ono NEMA MAJKU niti ikoga tamo da ga samog zastiti.

Sve zapisnike o vasem postupanju, i o postupanju policije  od 1.8.2014. do  perfektuiranbja ovog predmeta , iz kojih ce se videti kada i sta ste preduzeli , trazicemo posebnim zahtrevom, stoga ocekujemo pripadajucu promptnost i zakonitost vaseg postupanja. Za sada  je ne vidimo, a lanetu tamo  rade o glavi na razne morbidne nacine – sto zabranjuje Zak o dobrobiti zivotinja.

Zakoni Srbije prvenstveno naredjuju drzavnim organima sta  su im duznosti i prava, te ako drzavni organi ne postuju i ne primenjuju zakone, kako ce ih onda primenjivati svi ostali subjekti  u Srbiji ?

Zakoni Srbije moraju biti primenjivani.

Sta ste vi uradili od momenta kad ste saznali za ovaj slucaj koji je u vasoj nadleznosti ?

Duzni ste  naci najpovoljniju soluciju za lane i za ljude koji su ga spasili- divlja zivotinja u zarobljenistvu jeste u nadleznosti Zakona o dobrobiti i RVI, a ne smete praviti ustupke nezakonitim nasilnickim potezima lovaca i  policijske patrole koja im je asistirala 1.8.2014. ( a mozda i dana kada  su ubili lanetovu majku) , a koja nije postupila zakonito, jer nije  pozvala RVI, sto sada  vas nece opravdati- ako sada vi ne postupite zakonito.

Uz  ogromne napore koje ulaze g.Aleksandar Vucic,  samovolja pojedinaca i neznanje onih  u drzavnim organima koji moraju znati i primenjivati zakone – kalja njegov rad, a to je nedopustivo.

Dear Sir or Madam,

According to the last information available at “Serbian Animals Voice”, the hunters intend to set out the baby Deeg in the forest.

According to EU regulations it is an offense to put back into the forest a deer baby at this age.

This means certain death for the animal.
And such an act is a negligent homicide.
The authority makes itself responsible for this death, especially now that so many people are informed about the case.

We expect and hope that the Serbs, in this case, give an example of humanity, and of how to deal with ways and helpless creatures, because Serbia knows death and fear better than any other country in Europe because of the war.

So please let the baby Deeg live and allow him to go back to Mrs. Dragana Mitic.

Best regards

Venus, Germany
