Serbia to apply for EU candidate status in 2009

 

Belgrade, Dec 18, 2008 – Deputy Prime Minister for EU Integration Bozidar Djelic today stated that Serbia will apply for EU candidate status in 2009, a step which it will make with the cooperation of its EU partners.

 

Djelic told the press that the EU is to assess the implementation of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement in order to consider the country’s candidacy.

Therefore, we will begin implementing the SAA from January 1, so that when the time comes the European Commission will positively assess Serbia’s application, he said.

Djelic also noted that Serbia will continue with its efforts and activities aimed at persuading the Netherlands to change its stance and give its consent for the application of the implementation of the Transitional Trade Agreement in Serbia.

He reiterated that Serbia is doing its best to locate the remaining two Hague indictees, voicing his hope that the Netherlands will be faced with more and more evidence of Serbia’s efforts to successfully conclude its cooperation with the Hague tribunal.

Mr. Hans-Gert Pöttering, President of the European Parliament

declares on his Europa web site that:

 

The European Parliament (EP) is elected by the citizens of the European Union to represent their interests

You as a european citizen, have an ‘interest’ that you wish the EU Parliament to investigate and report on – to ‘represent your interest’ about current Serbian animal welfare procedures, such as rounding up strays and killing, which is in direct opposition to existing Serbian national legislation – and ask as a euro citizen that

a requirement for Serbia to either

implement a national No Kill, humane, chip and vaccination program for stray animals and become an EU member state,

or for them to continue the killing of strays as they currently do, and for them consequently to be excluded from future EU membership.

No Kill Sterilisation = EU Membership,

Round up and inhumanely kill (as currently undertaken) = NO EU Membership

We have rescued these animals from the killings and we gave them a second chance, because they have the right to live .

But it is needed to stop the killings all over Serbia – because  theShinter-Vet team`s killings  ARE unlawful – in opposition to valid regulations.

Now is the time somebody must be punished for undertaking these killings, because  killing goes against the laws of Serbia and also because of the Constitution of Republic of Serbia.

All of the dogs shown in this link above were killed … and there are  a new victims, again, again and  always again ….despite there being Serbian laws which should not allow this to happen …

Please view images of the dogs in the Nis pound, awaiting death, at :

If you want to take action about these killings, then please contact the Serbian authorities who  have an obligation to implement Serbian national legislation and to implement the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia.

Serbian authorities have an obligation to stop the killings and undertake national No Kill sterilisation as the correct and only way for a reduction of future population number controls for all dogs and cats.

Any other method which involves killing of dogs and cats within Serbia is unlawful and goes against Serbian national legislation.

 

A Sample letter to the Serbian government and the Serbian media is given below.

You can produce your own letter using this as a basis, if you so  wish.

Dear Sir/madam, dear Commisioner

I am fully aware that Serbia is aiming for EU accession, and would like to point out that in order to join the EU, any new (potential) Member State must meet at least the following three criteria:

political: stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy,

the rule of law,

human rights and respect for and protection of minorities;

economic: existence of a functioning market economy and the capacity to cope with competitive pressure and market forces within the Union;

acceptance of the Community acquis: ability to take on the obligations
of membership, including adherence to the aims of political, economic
and monetary union.

I ask you to view the following:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha10UMwdpLw

“Spaying and neutering helps stem the tide of animal overpopulation. The real answer to the massive street animal population in Serbia is for all Serbian authorities to adopt a national ‘No Kill’ sterilisation programme, and to implement it immediately.

It must be a national priority to reduce the number of stray animals over a given period of time. Shinters/dog catchers are not animal control agencies – they are simply communal enterprises working at attempted controlling of the stray dog and cat populations”.

They never will as they are not gettibng to the heart of the problem – that stray animals reproduce and produce yet more stray offspring.  Catching some animals and killing them is no way to control numbers, as the survivors will continue to reproduce and provide more strays.

Only by implementing a nationwide sterilization program, and only by spaying and neutering all companion animals, will you, as the national government and national / regional authorities, ever obtain any control on pet animal overpopulation.

Given the staggering reproductive rates detailed, it stands to reason that, within only a few years, a carefully planned and implemented national sterilization programs could produce a dramatic reduction in the number of unwanted companion animals being born.

According to news received from other countries, in those towns and cities that have implemented similar programs, it has already been seen that the number of companion animals who had to be euthanized declined by 30 to 60 percent.

In addition, experience has shown that programs oriented toward preserving life are actually more cost effective and cheaper than ones oriented toward killing. For example, it is far less costly to neuter a feral cat than it is to impound, hold, kill and dispose of a feral cat’s body.

The savings are also exponential (preventing future generations of feral cats from being born and potentially entering shelters)”.

Please make sure that Serbia implements a strategy which provides the humane treatment and keeping of all animals taken from the streets, including that of the keeping of animals within authority pounds for an indefinite period.

Please make a overpopulation control programme possible:

by Humane treatment of all animals taken from the street(s);


a no maximum time limit on the period which an animal is kept at a shelter


Euthanasia only where necessary, and only in full agreement by several parties,
 including those from animal welfare organisations and non governmental associations


Euthanasia only in the interest of the individual animal; ie. due to  illness or non-recoverable injury


Sterilisation of all owned and roaming animals, except special  breeding animals


Vaccination of all animals, to be given during the sterilisation process, for prevention of all animal carried diseases
 
 

 

a general health check for each and every animal to also be undertaken during the sterilisation process

All of these issues associated with animals are regulated by strict legislation throughout the EU.

 
 

 

Future potential member states like Serbia, which is currently seeking EU accession, will need to ensure that they are compliant with at an EU approved standard in whatever sphere of animal usage before gaining  EU accession

SAV and Serbian welfare organisations will be closely monitoring all aspects of animal treatment in all spheres within Serbia, and will be raising awareness within the EU when it is  considered necessary to do so.
 
June 2009 sees the European Elections; we ask polit to make Serbia and the stray dogs and cats of the Balkans states an issue to be debated in the Europaparlament. 

We want The Serbian President to respond to EU letters sent to him on the issue of strays, not just ignore them as he has done up until this current time.

Until the EU demands action from a nation wishing to be an(EU) member state, the killings will go on.

Please use your power to change things for the better for Serbia.

Sincerely

Donna Karan has announced that all her Fall 2009 lines will be fur-free and that she has “no plans” to use fur in the future

New York City Bunny Butcher……

 

Please see our recent post – https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2008/12/20/usa-donna-karan-bunny-butcher-of-old-new-york-city/

….. Announces that during 2009, her

designs will go FUR FREE !

Thanks to the hard work of PETA’s staff, members, and volunteers and after nearly a year of pressuring designer Donna Karan to drop fur from her designs—by protesting outside her boutiques, crashing her runway show, and exposing her cruel use of fur online—

Donna Karan has announced that all her Fall 2009 lines will be fur-free and that she has “no plans” to use fur in the future.

Well done, everyone!

Karan’s turnaround came days after PETA launched our online campaign and after mega–fashion guru Tim Gunn sent Karan and designer Giorgio Armani a video that he narrated for PETA showing animals skinned alive for their fur and urged them to open their eyes to the violent and bloody fur industry.

Thank you for helping to make this happen. Let’s keep going strong! While Donna Karan has followed in the footsteps of top designers—including Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and Calvin Klein—Armani still refuses to stop using fur. Armani claims that he “only” uses fur from rabbits who are butchered for meat. We hope that you will take this opportunity to contact Armani to tell him that the cruelty depicted in this video on fur farms in both China and France show animals who are used for both fur and meat. Tell him that even if the meat of gentle rabbits killed for their fur is sold to be eaten, the rabbits endure the same suffering.

Thank you for helping make the world safer for fur-bearing animals, and best wishes for a happy and humane holiday season!

Sincerely,

Ingrid E. Newkirk
President

Dear animal friend

STOP Long Animal Transports

Today, too many animals are transported under unacceptable conditions on European highways.

The most important issue is the duration of the transports. Current EU legislation allows for animals to be transported for several days.

This has to be changed.

Live animals for slaugther should never be transported for more than eight hours.

Support 8hours.

Our goal is to collect 1,000,000 signatures, something EU politicians will not be able to ignore.

We have now more than 30,000 signatures. We are happy about that, however, it is far from enough.

During the spring, it is anticipated that the European Commission will introduce a new bill regarding animal transportation. It is a big opportunity for us who want to stop the long and unacceptable transports taking place everyday throughout Europe.

Therefore, I invite you to get your friends to sign as well.

We are already 30,000 just 3 or 4 friends more per person will be more than 100,000.

That would be a strong signal to send and we could make a difference.

Best regards

Donna Karan

– New York City

‘Bunny Butcher’

 dk3

dk1jpgdk2jpg

 

Every year, millions of animals are killed for the clothing industry, and 85 percent of fur comes from the hell-on-Earth known as the “factory farm.” Animals on fur farms spend their entire lives confined to cramped, filthy wire cages where they have only enough room to take a few steps in any direction.

Fur farmers use the cheapest killing methods available, including neck-breaking, suffocation, poisoning, and anal or vaginal electrocution. Many animals are electrocuted by having rods inserted into their rectums and 240 volts of electricity sent through their bodies, frying the animals from the inside out in order to keep from damaging the pelt. The animals convulse, shake, and often cry out before suffering painful heart attacks. Crude killing methods aren’t always effective, and sometimes animals “wake up” while they are being skinned.

More than half the fur in the U.S. comes from China, where millions of dogs and cats are bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, and sometimes even skinned alive for their fur. And Chinese fur is often deliberately mislabeled, so, if you wear any fur, there’s no way of knowing whose skin you’re in.

Donna Karan knows about the suffering that goes into every fur-trimmed coat, hat, and bag. She even promised to stop using fur in her designs but has gone back on her word. The Donna Karan line now contains the skins of dead rabbits.

Please take action and boycott Donna Karan, the bunny butcher, until she permanently removes all fur from her collections.

 

dk2jpgdk1jpg

Dear friend,

You probably know by now that Donna Karan, the designer who runs the fashion labels Donna Karan and DKNY, uses animal fur in her collections—even though she once promised to stop. To help put an end to Donna Karan’s fur cruelty, we just launched a new parody Web site, DonnaKaranBunnyButcher.com, and we wanted you to be one of the first to know.

Explore the site, where you can take action, watch and share videos, grab wallpaper for your computer, and stay up-to-date on our campaign to stop the bunny butcher.

We’ve launched this campaign to help animals on fur farms, who spend their entire lives confined to cramped, filthy wire cages. Fur farmers use the cheapest killing methods available to end the lives of animals, including neck-breaking, suffocation, poisoning, and anal or vaginal electrocution. Many animals on fur farms are electrocuted by having rods inserted into their rectums and 240 volts of electricity sent through their bodies, frying the animals from the inside out in order to keep from damaging the pelts. The animals convulse, shake, and often cry out before suffering painful heart attacks. We need you to help these animals.

Will you please help by sharing this information with everyone you know?

There are many ways that you can share this information, which will help countless fur-bearing animals. A couple of fast and easy ways are by e-mailing our parody Web site to friends or by adding one of our new “Donna Karan: Bunny Butcher” videos to your own Web page or online profile.

Thank you for your compassion for animals this holiday season.

Very truly yours,

Ingrid E. Newkirk, – President
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)

I am sorry this is all chaotic, I just had an encounter with dog catchers, I begged them to give me two puppies that were in the van alone, and one of the shinters made jokes at me asking me, asking me to go out etc.  They then led me to believe they would give me the puppies, but then they just went, leaving me crying in the street.  Another lady saw it and felt sorry that I was crying and she begged the shinters too, but nothing.

============ ========= ========= ========= =========

Honorable Officials of the Republic of Korea:This draft law undoes humane policies established in 1991. In fact, it allows any animal abuser to bypass punishment by simply claiming the abused dog or cat was intended for meat or medicine. Thailand and the Philippines have banned dog meat. Most Koreans do not consume dogs and cats. Why does Korea continue to sacrifice its integrity and global image to appease a minority interest?

 

THE HYPOCRISY OF SAVING DOGS WHILE EATING PIGS?
============ ========= ========= ========= =========

Kinship Circle recognizes that some feel it’s hypocritical to protest the consumptive use of dogs and cats while other sentient creatures live in wretched conditions and die horribly under the knife.

============ ========= ========= ========= =========

I respectfully ask the Korean government to not amend the Animal Protection Law of 1991 to classify some dog breeds as livestock and others as companions.

The distinction between “pet animals” and food-source animals merely allows the consumptive use of certain dogs and cats. Those bred as family companions are protected, while other dogs and cats — if purposefully raised for food or medicine — are not.

This law turns a blind eye on the cruelty inherent in the dog/cat consumption trade: Prolonged beatings, dismemberment, hangings, live boiling, and more brutal “customs” thought to enhance flavor and potency.

Moreover, if Korea enacts this amendment, it becomes the only nation to openly permit the slaughter of dogs and cats for human ingestion. I urge Korean officials to cease all efforts to legalize this vile trade. Taiwan,

Please enforce animal protection laws that afford ALL dogs and cats immunity under “pet animals.” Please explicitly outlaw the killing of any of these animals for food or medicine.

Thank you,

Please note that we regularly posts action campaigns on animals typically farmed for food, with an entire section of our Letter Library devoted to animal agriculture:

We have addressed the “hypocrisy” in an article that ran as The Animals Voice cover story:

 One Country’s Companion Is Another’s Cuisine
http://www.kinshipc ircle.org/ columns_articles /companion_ cuisine.htmlWe do not support the consumptive use of ANY animal, including dogs, cats, horses, chickens, pigs, cows, fishes, turkeys, ducks, etc.
