Stray Dog: Shocking Brutality by Municipality Worker in Athens, Greece

Please everyone, sign this important petition and leave your comments of DISGUST! And copy your letter to the email provided on the page also

http://www.keeptalkinggreece.com/2011/05/07/stray-dog-schocking-brutality-by-municipality-worker-in-athen-downtown-upd/#comment-6468

Civilized people everywhere are disgusted, horrified, outraged by the treatment of stray animals in Greece. This problem is ongoing and pervasive and it’s apparent that Greek officials have no intention of doing anything about it. I’ll NEVER visit Greece again and have informed all my animal loving friends and family about the unconscionable, inhumane abuse of animals in Greece, the cradle of uncivilized cruelty! (zelda)

BOW HUNTING –

The entire time the calf was calling for his mother who remained 40 yards away not wanting to leave. He had two choices. Let it slowly die calling to its mother, or use a knife. He did the humane thing and took out his knife.

And finally  – Protest in London about Romanian strays:

Dear Friends,

On Thursday 26th May we plan to hold a protest in London close to the Romanian Embassy and also walk along to the Romanian Consulate Office , both located in Kensington.  This is long over-due given the fact that most other Western European  and Northern European have already held large and effective protests against the proposed change in the law which would allow the Romanian authorities to systematically massacre hundred of thousands of street and shelter dogs…. all in the name of money allowing corrupt businesses to get very rich on the back of slaughter!

The vote to bring on whether to bring in this law has been postponed several times already largely due to the pressure from the animal loving International community and from those within Romania itself.

Kendra and myself have quickly put together the website below specifically for this event.  On here you will find information being updated constantly, links to FB, Twitter, Blogs etc. There are also car sharing opportunities listed if you’re not based in/around London.

http://afra.moonfruit.com/

PLEASE join us, this really could be our last chance to take a stand!  If enough people turn out on the day it will send a message LOUD AND CLEAR that mass illegal killings of this kind will not be tolerated.  Although those in power in Romania care little for animals they DO care about their image and standing in Europe and so will definitely take note!!.  We have to hold the protest on a week day to avoid the Consulate and the Embassy being closed.  We are working in conjunction with the police and they have helped us establish a meeting place, a route etc.  We’ve also been granted permission to deliver by hand any petitions directly to the Embassy.

If you really can’t attend, we ask you to kindly crosspost, forward and share this email to any and all animal loving friends, family and colleagues.

Adopted ‘Rommies’ would be most welcome on the day so please bring them along… they will make perfect mascots and ambassadors for their fellow dogs at risk back home!

Warmest wishes

-zbog  toga sto je omogucila  ubijanja velikog broja pasa i macaka u  Subotici , u suprotnosti sa zakonima ,

-zbog klevete  drustva Prijatelj   iznoseci u javnost  izjave da je zbrinjavanje napustenih pasa i macaka  hobi  ove organizacije  ,

– zbog  izrade nezakonitih podzakonskih akata  i davanja Skupstini grada na usvajanje kao da su zakoniti   u sta je Skupstina grada  vec tri  puta poverovala ,

-zbog postupanja po nezakonitim opstinskim odlukama od Sl list grada 63/2003 i 33/2008,  cime je omogucila  nezakonito  trosenje  novca iz gradskog budzeta , cime je        omogucila sticanje protivpravne dobiti  firmi JKP `Cistoca i zelenilo`  u kojoj radi njen suprug i  privatnoj firmi VS `Veterinar` vlasnika  g. Grge Tikvickog , svog kucnog prijatelja i partijskog kolege .

 

Dajuci  izjave medijima , g.Dulic Suzana ,clan Gradskog veca za komunalne delatnosti i zastitu zivotne sredine , namerno  je oklevetala organizaciju Prijatelj  koja koristi adresu organizacije EPAR , tako da su njene klevete pogodile obe organizacije , i organizaciju Prijatelj i organizaciju  EPAR-OIPA Srbija,  lazuci javnosti da je zbrinjavanje napustenih pasa hobi   udruzenja gradjana Prijatelj  , dok je istina  da je   zbog nezakonitog postupanja grada prema gradjanima, javnom novcu- preko 60 miliona dinara ,  i  napustenim psima  (Odfluka Ustavnog suda  Sl gl RS 9/2010), drustvo Prijatelj  bilo primorano da  2004. godine  registruje prihvatiliste  i vrsi zbrinjavanje ovih zivotinja,  jer  grad  do 3.5.2006.  nije imao  objekat ,a od tada ima samo za privremeni smestaj u kojem ih  ubija sto je u suprotnosti sa zakonom i predstavlja krivicno delo koje je grad  cinio  sve do juna 2010. godine  po nezakonitim opstinskim odlukama  ciji je  odgovorni autor g.Suzana Dulic i g.Matilda Seker  , i  Suzana Dulic  je odgovorna   za postupanje po nezakonitim podzakonskim aktima   ( Odluka Ustavnog suda  Sl gl RS 9/2010 )a  grad  je postupao , a  i dalje postupa  nezakonito ,jer  je ubijao najmanje  1x nedeljno , i  jer i sada ubija najmanje 1x mesecno pse i macke  , dok je njihovo ubijanje u Srbiji zabranjeno ( Zakljucak Ustavnog suda IU 27/2010 ) ,  a istovremeno grad odvaja  za finansiranje nezakonito obavljenih poslova  :

 

4,2 miliona dinara, plus x dinara -2004

4,2 miliona dinara ,plus  1 milion din  , plus 15 500 eura  ( 1 eu=88 din ), plus x dinara- 2005. godine

4,2 miliona, plus 7,6 miliona, plus x dinara – 2007 godine

5,2 miliona,plus x dinara – 2008. godine]

5,2 miliona,plus  5,8 miliona, plus 15 miliona, plus xx dinara – 2009. godine

4,2 miliona,plus  x dinara – 2010.

 

Uvereni smo da  je grad  kupio  i vozni park  zoohigijenskoj sluzbi , kao i jos   neke sume koje treba da sadrzi Analitika odobrenih sredstava  za poslove hvatanja i unistavanja pasa i macaka lutalica ( nakon sto im se obratio Ustavni sud , 2008. su licemerno samo promenili terminologiju , a sustina je ostala ista  sto je Ustavni sud  konstatovao i osudio  –  rec unistavnje, zamenili su  recju zbrinjavanje ),  za koje moraju postojati stvarni racuni .

 

.Dozvoljen nacin kontrole brojnosti populacije pasa i macaka je : sterilizacija .

 

Ova  dugogodisnja krivicna dela  gospodje Suzane Dulic i saradnika  , omogucena  njihovim sluzbenim polozajem u gradskoj upravi ,su indukovala  ponasanje  novog zastupnika Prijatelj-epar  (  28.10.2010. je promenjen zastupnik na nezakonit nacin ) , koji je i sam na mesto zastupnika  dosao  na nezakonit nacin ,  i to nakon  sastanka sa g.Suzanom Dulic i sardanika   tj. nakon laznih obecanja datih od strane Suzane Dulic  i saradnika  i  koja je  grubo  izmanipulisala gospodju Branku Bojanin  dajuci joj uslovljena obecanja koja zatim nije ispostovala nego je prevarila  g.Branku Bojanin i novo rukovodstvo Prijatelj-epar.

 

Na ovaj nacin  stvarajuci laznu sliku , Suzana Dulic svesno i sa namerom blati ugled nevladinog sektora , u ovom slucaju je  potpuno izblatila organizaciju Prijatelj, koja  8 godina obavlja poslove  za koje grad daje pare   firmi u kojoj je zaposlen suprug gospodje Suzane Dulic :JKP`Cistoca i zelenilo` i davao je  450 000 dinara mesecno za poslove hvatanja i unistavanja pasa i macaka lutalica  i onda kada je toj firmi  Resenjem republicke veterinarske inspekcije  od 2.9.2004. do 3.5.2006. bio zabranjen rad na ovim poslovima .

 

Takodje  g.Suzana Dulic krsi ljudska prava , postupa u suprotnosti sa nalozima Zakona protiv diskriminacije  nezakonitim podzakonskim aktima -opstinskim odlukama  i ignorisanjem  ljudi koji  godinama  bezuspesno zahtevaju zakonito postupanje gradske uprave,g. Suzana Dulic i g. Matilda Seker   odrzavaju  situaciju u kojoj  pojedinci bivaju eksploatisani  , a drugi  istovremeno sticu protivpravnu dobit  ,

 eksploatacija  nastaje zbog uverenja da  se prema zivotinjama ima postupati zakonito u interesu gradjana i zivotinja , dok pomenuta lica nipodastavaju  , omalovazavaju i  ignorisu  tudj   licni novac koji je  ulozen za  dosadasnjih  8 godina zbrinjavanja napustenih pasa u legalnom prihvatilistu ,  dajuci javnosti lazne informacije da ce   `grad zakonito postupati ` –  a grad   bio gonjen cak  i od Ustavnog suda – jos uvek bezuspesno   , i da ce  grad  uzeti pse   u  cije zbrinjavanje do danas je ulozen  ogroman licni novac gradjana  za koji ovi gradjani imaju racune , i 4500 eura  a potom jos 1000 eura  od OIPA  organizacije  u prvim godinama  izgradnje  prihvatilista , i to je novac koji  g.Dulic  Suzana  i sar  ima nameru  nedozvoljeno prisvojiti  tj s njim   nedozvoljeno raspolagati , a  zna da  grad nema ni  inicijalne uslove  za zakonito postupanje prema napustenim psima i mackama   i  da ih nikada nije imao ,  i zna da   javnosti  svesno i s namerom :  govori lazi .

 

Prilazemo- vidi atachment , jedan od  brojnih clanaka , slicni su  u svim srbijanskim  medijima,  koji su preneli  klevete i lazne informacije javnosti  kojima g. Suzana Dulic  zeli da zastiti  svoj  i svjih bliskih saradnika :dugogodisnji nezakonit rad  utemeljen na  lazima radi pribavljanja protipravne  dobiti  jednoj javnoj- u kojoj radi njen  suprug ,  i jednoj privatnoj firme  , a  sumnjamo da ni njoj  nije  sve ovo `dzabe`, ali za  to  trenutno  mi nemamo direktne dokaze stoga  iznosimo samo  svoju sumnju, a na organima je da  ovu sumnju  provere  uporedjivanjem  zakonitih prihoda i  materijalnog statusa ove gospodje  .

 Rukovodstvo Drustva  Prijatelj  koje je vodilo ovu organizaciju do 28.10.2010. i koje je izgradilo  ovo prihvatiliste , obracalo se od 2003. godine  gradskoj vlasti svake godine  veliki broj puta – i bilo je primorano , ne iz hobija ,nego iz nuzde  da zastiti gradjane i zivotinje  izgradnjom i legalizacijom prihvatilista koje  grad zbog aktivnosti g.Suzane Dulic, Matilde Seker , Koledin Dobrivoja, Vlade Dragina  i danas  nipodastava , premda  je ova organizacija  ustvari  bila primorana  od 2003. godine obavljati poslove grada  o licnom trosku pojedinaca , i legalizovati prihvatiliste  dok je gradski novac  koji je  izdvajan za ove potrebe gradjana  ,bio zloupotrebljavan godinama  kao i danas.

 

Prilozicemo  u pisarnicu OJT Subotica  kopije svih  relevantnih dokumenata ,  od ogromnog broja  dokazne  dokumentacije,  za sve svoje navode u ovoj prijavi  i po potrebi prikazati ih javnosti ,  ako javnost bude zainteresovana , jer  ova dokumentacija nije tajna .

EU: International Call For the EU to Introduce an 8 Hour Maximum Journey Time for All Animals in Transport – Petition Link and Paper Copy to Download.

Link:   http://www.8hours.eu/8hours_en

As someone who has personally been involved with live animal transport investigations for the last 22 years, as well as:

  • making presentations to the Uk Agriculture Ministry regarding horse export investigations
  • being the author of over 20 formal complaints to the EU Legal Affairs team in Brussels regarding live animal (calf and sheep) transport investigations,
  • being the author of a recent investigation report into the calf export trade from Ireland to mainland Europe, undertaken as a combined series of investigations by european animal welfare groups,

it can be clearly said that I personally have a real hatred of witnessing animals being transported for hours and hours packed inside livestock transporters.

Part of the title of my most recent report for the EU, which was produced last August, simply said “Time for Change“.  Now, more than ever, it is time for change within the EU regarding transport times for live animals.

COVER

I ask you please to put your name to the campaign which is being presented here by Christa and Dan which calls for a maximum duration of 8 hours for all livestock being transported within the EU.

I am informed from my very helpful contacts at the EU Legal Affairs team in Brussels, that all of our investigation work and public support for reduced transportation hours are very much being listened to.  You can help us add even more weight to this call by adding your name to the campaign for 8 hours maximum.

Link:   http://www.8hours.eu/8hours_en

The link below provides access to a paper copy of the petition which is being run for this campaign.  By accessing this you can print off paper copies as required and get all your friends and family to support the call.

Link for paper copy of petition –  just access and print off your copies !       8 Hours Petition

Completed forms can be sent to Animals’ Angels e.V. in Germany – the full address is provided at the bottom of the form as per the example sheet above.  Completed forms need to be sent to Germany by end of August 2011.  The forms, as well as the online petition (link above) will then be presented to the competent political boards of the EU in September.

Now is the time for major changes to EU live animal transport legislation throughout Europe – please add your support to this.

Thank You.

Japan: Fukushima – Government Leaves Farm Animals To Die – Take Action For Survivors Now !

Photo: Animals Asia

Direct Petition link:

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/43/please-save-fukushima-farm-animals/

Fukushima farm animals left to die

Lack of access hampers rescue efforts

The situation grows more desperate by the day, as animals left alone in the no-go area around the Fukushima nuclear power plant, continue to die in droves.

While farmers are working anxiously to try to make arrangements to move their animals to a safe area, they are now hampered by the extension of the no-go area, and strict restrictions on access, with nobody but authorised personnel permitted to enter the area. As a result, the animals are dying – with no food or water available, they are slowly starving to death.

On 24 April the Fukushima government decided to euthanize farm animals who were severely ill, injured or in distress within a 20 km (12 mile) radius (the no-go zone) of the power plant, and planned to start disposing of animals by permission of their owners on 26 April.

Without access to the area, volunteers and owners cannot recover the thousands of animals still healthy.

Animals Asia is supporting local rescue groups in their appeal to the Japanese authorities to allow willing volunteers into the area to carry out rescue and removal of these animals. Some 30,000 pigs, 630,000 chickens, 2,500 beef cattle, 870 dairy cattle and significantly more animals are still at risk and need help urgently.

What you can do
Donate: Please send you donations directly to Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support (JEARS). This is a coalition formed by Japan animal welfare groups in response to the earthquake, to co-ordinate rescue efforts and direct assistance. More information is available on their Facebook page.

Write a letter: Please write to the relevant Japanese authorities to request they allow willing volunteers – veterinarians, farmers, animal welfare groups – into the no-go area now to do what they can to help these hundreds of thousands of animals.

Kosovo: Hunters Shoot (Stray) Dogs at City’s Request – 190 In The First 3 Weeks.

Kosovo hunters shoot dogs at city’s request

(AP) – 19 hours ago

PRISTINA, Kosovo (AP) — The video was shocking: Wounded dogs yelping in pain as they tried to escape the hunters gunning them down.

Authorities in Kosovo’s capital of Pristina say 190 street dogs have been shot and killed in the first three weeks of a culling campaign that has been harshly criticized by animal lovers.

Urban areas in the tiny Balkan nation, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008, have been plagued by packs of dogs that often attack people. An infant died last year after being bitten by several dogs, sparking calls for authorities to do something.

Their solution has provoked an outcry.

The local council was “unwillingly forced to undertake an inhumane approach” and hire a hunter’s group to kill the strays after no animal rights groups bid for a government project to shelter the dogs, Pristina spokesman Muhamet Gashi said Wednesday.

In response, an animal rights group has presented a petition signed by over 2,000 Pristina residents urging a stop to the slaughter.

“It’s not humane and it’s not always a quick kill. Often it’s a slow agonizing death,” said Dennis Capstick, a spokesman for Animal Friends of Kosovo.

“It’s a quick fix and it only creates more problems, because you then create a vacuum and many more dogs from surrounding areas come,” he added. “You end up having a bigger problem than you’ve started with.”

Hunters hired to do the shooting have refused to talk to journalists or allow them on their nightly killing sprees since harrowing images of the shootings appeared on Kosovo’s Klan television last month.

The shootings are supervised by Kosovo’s police, and the dead dogs are disposed of at a site outside Pristina. The program will go on until the problem is solved, authorities said.

Serbia, which has pledged not to give up its claim to Kosovo even though 75 countries recognize it as independent, also has a massive stray dog problem, fueled by years of war, poverty and the lack of any government strategy to neuter or control strays.

“These dogs need a shelter and not a bullet,” said Aridan Agaj, 27, a resident of Pristina. “We’ve had enough shooting in this part of the world anyhow.”

Serbia: ‘Medy’ Has Been Saved From Death, But Needs a New Home and Food Urgently – Can You Help With A Donation ? – Details Below.

 

This is an urgent appeal to get Medy a new home and get plenty of food inside her.

Three legged Medy`s former owner was an old lady who has recently sadly died.  The local Shinters put Medy into Kragujevac city pound with the aim of killing her.  A lady named Zvezdana has rescued her instead – Medy is very thin and as you can see from the pictures, her current house is far too small.

In fact it is so small that Medy cannot even get into it !

Medy needs a new house urgently.

If you can help by making a donation towards a new house and food for Medy, then you can give via Western Union. 

All you need to have is the name and address of the person who will collect your donation; this is:

Zvezdana Radojcic,

Negotin, Badnjevo bb

Serbia.

Western Union can be found at  

http://www.westernunion.co.uk/WUCOMWEB/staticMid.do?method=load&countryCode=GB&languageCode=en&pagename=HomePage&src=yh_UK_brand_eng

Just use the drop down to select YOUR country (where you live and will donate from).

It is very easy and donations can be made by telephone using many cards for payment.

You will be given a specific code for your transaction.

Please e mail Zvedana at the following, telling her you have donated; also provide her with the specific code you have been given by Western Union.  

E mail to   sreckonegotin@yahoo.com

Zvezdana will then visit any of her local Western Union facilities, where she will give proof of who she is, give the specific code number  and then will be able to collect your donation.

Thanks in advance – SAV.

Please try to give for Medy.

 

 

Romania / Austria: Romanian Dogs With Severe Injuries Now In Austria and Recovering – Donations Welcome to Help Treatment Costs. Forever Homes Will Be Required Soon – Can You Help ?

 

Both of these guys will be looking for new, forever homes once they have recovered from their injuries.

Can you help ?  – Contact (Gabriele Surzitza) details below if you are able.

Johnny – Attacked With A Shovel

Murphy – Victim of a Wire Noose.

Romanian dogs – ‘Johnny’ and ‘Murphy’.

Johnny was smashed over the head with a shovel; and Murphy was found with a wire noose around his middle which had almost sliced him in half.

Both dogs have now been moved to Austria and are receiving continual treatment.  Johnny has to undergo another operation for his head trauma – the skin is healing well but we are informed that the skull bone still has some bone splinters which need to be removed once everything else is healed.

Here is the web link to the Austrian organisation who are now caring for both Johnny and Murphy:   http://www.villa-dotschko.at/

If anyone can give a donation to help cover the costs of the treatments for these guys then it will be very welcome, thank you.  All donation details are provided below.
