Dear Ones,

“Adoption is the best option”  was the tag line of the CUPA ‘S- PET
ADOPTION DAY on 2nd Oct 2009,which was very positive and overwhelming experience for all of us ,the main reason being that our premises was flooded with potential adoptees from various backgrounds,visitors,local celebrities and media. 

CUPA had a tuf time to handle the excited crowd even before the event started,we have had animal lovers , farmers to IT Professionals and not to forget the Bangalore youth enjoying basking with warm animal love.

Our Successful Adoptions are

53  Pups [ Indian pups ]
2O Abandon Dogs
15 Kittens
10 Cats

We have maintained a data base of all adopters and visitors who visited the event and we would make a adoption checks to make sure the animal is happy  and safe.

We would like to thank all the animal lovers who came to look for a
companion and gladly went with their hands full ,the free bees sponsors ,the
print media, TV,Radio who happily agreed to be a part of this loving event
and sportive celebrities who time off and encouraged people to adopt .It was indeed a success event since we at CUPA believe even if one animal is able to get a loving home it is a grand success

Thanks and Regards
Santosh Rajashekar

Uk (England): Congratulations to Dr. Caroline Lucas MEP – New President of the European Union Animal Welfare Intergroup

Posted on October 2, 2009 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

SAV would like to offer sincere congratulations to Caroline on being named as the new President of the EU Animal Welfare Intergroup.

CL

Dr. Caroline Lucas MEP

Caroline is a stalwart campaigner for all animal welfare issues, and we see this new position as being of immense benefit to all animals in both the EU and worldwide.  As an example, Caroline played a key role in the creation of legislation to ban the sale of cat and dog fur in the EU, and in the recent ban on the import of seal products.

Caroline Protests in England About Live Animal Exports to Europe

SAV have worked with Caroline in recent years to provide information to the EU regarding the treatment of stray and roaming animals within Serbia.  Caroline wrote to the President of Serbia in October 2008 on behalf of the EU Intergroup, which we covered in the following SAV post:

https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/europe-eu-intergroup-on-the-welfare-conservation-of-animals-writes-to-the-president-of-serbia-expressing-concerns-about-serbian-stray-animal-treatment/

A copy of the formal Intergroup letter to Serbian President Tadic is as follows:

letter-to-the-serbian-president-on-stray-animals-1

and a Serbian translation of the EU Intergroup letter to President Tadic of Serbia can be seen as follows:

serb-eu-letter-translation-to-pres-tadic1

We know that Caroline will continue now, with even more support within the Intergroup, to be a voice for the animals of Serbia.  In her position, Caroline will be paramount in being able to provide information to the EU Commission regarding the much needed changes and animal welfare implementations which are required within Serbia if it hopes to become an EU member state within the next few years.

We at SAV, along with our fellow campaigners in Serbia, will continue to provide Caroline with both the positive and negative issues that are happening within Serbia.

A very positive note today is the additional programmes introduced by Leskovac City authority – please see our post at:

https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2009/10/02/serbia-leskovac-city-makes-fantastic-model-authority-to-no-kill-animal-control-programmes/

We hope that this example at Leskovac City will act as a model for all authorities across Serbia in the near future.

Again, we give our biggest congratulations to Caroline – from all in the SAV alliance, and from animals everywhere.  Caroline, you will now be making even bigger differnces than before – Good Luck with all your campaigns !!

The official Press Release from Caroline is as follows:

Note – bold and underline added by SAV

South East England Green Euro-MP To Head Up Influential Animal Welfare Group

23 September 2009 –

Dr Caroline Lucas, Green Euro-MP for the South East of England, has been named as the new President of the European Parliament’s cross-party Animal Welfare Intergroup. 

The MEP is well known for her longstanding efforts to achieve better protection for animals, having played a key role in the creation of legislation to ban the sale of cat and dog fur in the EU, and in the recent ban on the import of seal products.

She has also campaigned against the continued use of animals in travelling circuses and the EU-subsidised practice of bullfighting, and opposes the cloning of animals for food.

Dr Lucas, who was given the RSPCA’s Michael Kay Award for her outstanding contribution to European animal welfare in 2006, has pledged to put her considerable experience to good use as President of the Intergroup – one of the most effective, high profile cross-party groups in the Parliament. 

She said: “I am honoured to have been nominated as President of the Animal Welfare Intergoup and am committed to doing everything possible to build on its well-earned reputation for achieving results.

“With key challenges ahead, like the revision of EU law on the protection of animals used in experiments, it’s more vital than ever that the Animal Welfare Intergroup continues to champion animal protection across the EU.” 

Dr Lucas is also a new member of the European Parliament’s Women’s Committee, and will continue to serve on the Palestine Delegation, as well as the Trade, Environment and Climate Change Committees.

ENDS

Serbia: Leskovac City Makes Fantastic Model Authority to No Kill Animal Control Programmes

Posted on October 2, 2009 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Serbian Flag

 

You may remember our post of 18th August regarding the great news that Leskovac City in Southern Serbia had started a no-kill sterilisation programme for stray and roaming animals; attempting to reduce animal numbers without undertaking any killings.

Original SAV Link: 

https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2009/08/19/serbia-breaking-news-leskovac-city-commences-no-kill-sterilisation-programme-for-stray-and-roaming-animals/

We sent our thanks to the officials of Leskovac city for being so positive thinking and decisive regarding their city future approach to stray and roaming animal management. 

Well we have some further great news to share now, as we hoped we would be able to give when we wrote our August post.

Leskovac city arms

Leskovac City Arms

On 25th September 2009,   Leskovac city has gone further in its attempts to solve its stray and roaming animal troubles.  It has now produced a second and vitally important document – a scheme which allows pet owners to sterilise and undertake anti tetanus vaccinations of their dogs and cats by an approved veterinarian using money / funding provided from the local municipal budget of Leskovac city.

The documentation declares that if for any reason, pet owners do NOT want their animal to be sterilised, then they, the owner have to declare this in writing on a form to the city authorities.  As a response the city authorities will send inspectors to the owners of the animals approximately 3 or 4 times every year.  If the owners re home or sell these un-sterilised animals, then they are obliged to keep the necessary documentation about the animal for at least 2 years.  If the owners of the animals do not comply with these requirements, they will be given a financial fine.

In addition, it is a requirement that all dogs and cats MUST be microchipped and vaccinated in agreement with existing Serbian national legislation.

Odluka o sterilizaciji

program kontrole brojnosti Leskovac

This is considered to be a great forward step for stray and roaming animals – because now this is a documented, legal way of undertaking the no kill sterilisation strategy which we have campaigned for in Serbia for years.

We very much trust that now they have produced all this legislation for stray and roaming (owned) animals in the city, the authorities of Leskovac city will fully implement them.  We are sure that they will and we say ‘Thank You’ to Leskovac City for being so forward thinking about animal numbers control programmes.

Further, we are informed that Leskovac city has now undertaken the construction of a No Kill Delta shelter for animals; a shelter which will comply with all the national legislation for shelters.

Leskovac must be congratulated for being the first city in Serbia to undertake such measures for stray and roaming (owned) animal control programmes.  This is a model of preventing unwanted animal births whilst at the same time financially punishing animal oweners who do not have their animals sterilised in the attempt to reduce and control the cities animal population.  Remember, although they are owned by someone, many animals are put out every day by their owners.  If these animals have not been, or are still not sterilised, then there is a daily chance that further production of new litters can happen.  Sterilsed animals cannot produce young; so we ask that all pet owners have their animals go through this procedure, unless there are specific reasons why it cannot be undertaken.

Serbian campaigners have already sent a request to government authorities in Belgrade requesting that all the other 134 community / authorities in Serbia now undertake the same policies as that running in Leskovac city.

Leskovac city is the first and a shining example of an authority which decides to be a no kill animal control authority, supported by a programme of animal microchipping, sterilisation and vaccination against disease.  And funded from the city budget !

As has been requested, we hope that this programme will now be used as a model by all 134 authorities throughout Serbia, and that gradually over time, we will begin to see stray and roaming (owned) animal numbers reduce.  This will be our aim, to have a day when no animals are caught and then killed in authority shelters and pounds as we have exposed so many times in the past.

Thank You Leskovac City for being such a forward thinking and animal welfare supportive city. 

We ask please that you send letters of thanks and support for their programme to the officials at Leskovac City.  Contact details are as follows.  Please inform them that they have become famous internationally for their positive approach to stray and roaming animal control programmes.

A day to celebrate animal life in all its forms and to think again about the diverse and so important roles that all animals play in our daily lives.  Also a time to consider the wonderful achievements we have all made for global animal welfare issues during past years, and to give ourselves another surge of power to go out in the next year and go one step even further !

Whatever you are doing on the day, have a great time with all your animal pals. 

If you are able, please give a little of your time to suport animals on this day – a donation, signing petitions, writing a letter about an issue, fundraising, whatever !

Make a note in your diary; this Sunday – 4th October 2009.

Serb Puppy Jelena

Source; Wikipedia: 

World Animal Day is celebrated each year on 4 October. It started in Florence, Italy in 1931 at a convention of ecologists.[1] On this day, animal life in all its forms is celebrated, and special events are planned on locations all over the globe. 4 October was originally chosen for World Animal Day because it is the feast day of Francis of Assisi, a nature lover and patron saint of animals and the environment. Numerous churches throughout the world observe the Sunday closest to 4 October with a Blessing for the Animals.

However, World Animal Day has now gone beyond being the celebration of a Christian saint and is today observed by animal-lovers of all beliefs, nationalities and backgrounds. Animal blessings are held in churches, synagogues, and by independent Animal Chaplains in parks and fields.[2] Animal rescue shelters hold fundraising events and open days, wildlife groups organize information displays, schools undertake animal-related project work and individuals and groups of friends or co-workers donate to animal charities or pledge to sponsor a shelter animal.

Uk (England): **Newsflash** – Over 600 Crazy, Wild Gorillas Run the Streets of London !!

Posted on September 27, 2009 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Great Gorilla Run 2009 – LONDON

More than 600 runners in gorilla costumes put a smile on the faces of Londoners on Saturday 26 September in the Great Gorilla Run 2009.

The run, in its seventh year, is one of the most popular annual events in the capital.

The run was started by children’s television presenter Helen Skelton, who says “I’d encourage anyone to support a charity that helps protect gorillas. It’s easy to take wildlife for granted, but we’ll regret that in the not too distant future if we don’t act now. This is a fun race that is entertaining to watch and even more so to take part in.”

Grunlondon2

grunlondon3

Helen started the run along with intrepid gorilla-runner Rory Coleman who had run all the way to London from his home in Nottinghamshire in a gorilla suit. He arrived to a rapturous gorilla-welcome, and was at the front of the hundreds of other runners.

The quickest gorilla-runner completed the 7km course in just 34 minutes. The slowest was the UN Ambassador for the Year of the Gorilla, Ian Redmond, who walked on all-fours for most of the circuit and finished in just under two hours.

This year’s fundraisers have already raised more than £130, 000 (pounds) for The Gorilla Organization.

They will still be raising money until November.

grunlondon4

grunlondon6

The donations go towards community conservation projects in areas of precious gorilla habitat in Africa. Today gorillas are threatened, not due to a demand for their meat or their infants, but due to pressures on the lush forest where they live. For the poverty-stricken communities around the gorilla habitat, it is the forest that provides them with many of their fundamental human needs, but sadly, the collection of basic resources, such as water and firewood, is destroying the gorilla habitat and in turn the gorillas.

There are now only around 720 mountain gorillas left in the wild. Executive Director of The Gorilla Organization, Jillian Miller, says “The Great Gorilla Run is a fantastic way to raise money for the brave African conservationists and rangers who risk their lives protecting the gorillas so they will still be there for generations yet to come.”
