Serbian Flag

There are some very disturbing images in the attached PDF document – click on the link in Blue below.

We would hope the Serbian authorities will act on the information provided, but experience from the past tells us not to hold our breath too much.

 

Krivicna prijava, Konji i druge zivotinje u Jagodini,kod Slobodana Milosevica, 22.08.2016._

 

And the EU Enlargement Commission ? – just the same.

And yet they tell us that Serbia is a ‘candidate country’ (for membership) which means that it should be showing that it is applying ‘the rule of law’.

We are sending the charge to the EU anyway – but expect nothing in return.

Iz kancelarije EPAR-a dostavljena je Prijava OJT -u, RVI I PU Jagodina.

This  is  charge against person who still did  do the same crimes , torture animals  in opposite to Serbian laws , still long time , because  he was inadequately punished – opposite to Serbian laws , he repeats  a  criminal acts.

Ireland: Petition – Justice for Dog Stabbed and Doused In Chemicals.

Ireland

Target: Claire Loftus, Director of Public Prosecutions in Ireland

Goal: Demand that the person responsible for stabbing a dog and dousing him in chemicals be sentenced to the maximum penalty possibly.

A family dog suffered serious burns after he was doused in chemicals. The attack occurred in the dog’s own backyard. Demand that justice is served for this innocent dog.

Shocking images show the dog’s torso completely burned by an unknown chemical. The dog also suffered three puncture wounds in his side. Authorities claim that the dog was likely held down through the fence during the attack. Though he sustained substantial injuries, the dog is expected to survive.

Brazil: Government Plans To Approve 40 Mega Dams In Amazon Rainforest – Deadly For Flora and Fauna.

Brazil

NO GOLD MEDALS HERE!!!

Para marcar o Dia Internacional das Florestas (21 de março), lideranças Munduruku foram até um trecho do rio Tapajós considerado sagrado pelo povo para passar um recado para o mundo: “Mantenham o Rio Tapajós vivo”. Segurando faixas em diversas línguas, eles protestaram, ao lado de ativistas do Greenpeace, contra a construção de barragens no rio que sustenta sua cultura e modo de vida. Ao todo, há 43 grandes hidrelétricas previstas para a bacia do Tapajós, sendo cinco já planejadas. A maior delas é a de São Luiz do Tapajós, próxima a Itaituba, no Pará, que, se construída, vai afetar a vida de povos indígenas e ribeirinhos, além de destruir uma área de intensa biodiversidade na Amazônia.

Greenpeace Brazil activists have joined forces with Munduruku Indigenous leaders to protest the Brazilian government's plans to build a mega dam on the Tapajós river, in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest in the Pará state.Using traditional canoes, activists have joined the Munduruku on a sacred part of the Tapajós River to send a clear message to the world: "Damn the dam. Keep the Tapajós river alive". Together, they unfurled a 20X30 meter banner on the river demanding an end to the São Luiz do Tapajós dam. The protest celebrates the International Day of Forest, on March 21st. Sawré Muybu Indigenous Land - Itaituba, Pará, Brazil. 18/03/2016. Photo: Fábio Nascimento/Greenpeace.

Dear Mark,

The Amazon rainforest is under threat. The Brazilian government want to grant permission for over 40 destructive mega dams to be built right through the heart of the forest. This could completely drown endangered wildlife, and displace thousands of Indigenous Peoples.

In order to build one single dam, greedy corporations must also destroy hundreds of kilometres of fragile rainforest for roads, workers’ housing and construction work. Multiply this by 42 and you can see how the levels of devastation will be catastrophic.

Will you help us save the Amazon from destructive dams Mark with a regular gift?

We must act now to stop these dams from going ahead. We need to increase surveillance in the Amazon so we can photograph dam destruction and gather the evidence we need to lobby big business. We need to keep up the pressure on global brands such as Siemens* so they can see how toxic this project is, and agree not to get involved. But we can’t do this alone, we need your help.

Will you help fund our campaign with a regular gift? It takes just two minutes to do:

Donate £3 a month
Donate £5 a month
Donate £10 a month
Donate another amount

Government and big industry see this as a massive business opportunity. Global companies like Siemens* are in a reckless pursuit for profit and have no consideration for the destruction their involvement will cause.

We can and will stop mega dams from destroying the Amazon.

Thanks for everything you do.

Canada: He was lured with bait, impaled with a spear, and left to suffer – Take Action.

Tell the Alberta government to ban trophy hunting!

Dear Mark,

He was lured with bait, impaled with a spear, and left to suffer, possibly for hours, before he finally died. The agony endured by this black bear and the twisted, gleeful reaction of his killer, an American trophy hunter, were captured on video and posted on YouTube, using a camera attached to his seven-foot-long, homemade weapon.

With the public rightfully outraged by this footage, shared by shocked viewers all over the world, now is the time to take action to prevent similar cruelty to other animals.

 

Take Action 3 

Urge the government of Alberta, Canada, where this slaughter took place, to prohibit all trophy hunting.

 

Alberta’s government says it will ban the use of spears this fall during a regulatory review. But, while the government is to be commended for a swift response, spears are rarely used, and the most widely used killing methods in Alberta trophy hunts—which are just as torturous—will remain entirely legal unless more is done.

Trophy hunting is opposed by the overwhelming majority of Albertans and millions of people worldwide. It’s high time to outlaw this cruel practice.

Please, take just a moment now to ask Alberta’s government to ban not only the use of spears, but all baiting of animals and all trophy hunting.

Thank you for caring about animals.

Sincerely,

Andrew Rowan
President and CEO
Humane Society International

LIVE – so you know how this ends?

Rescued sun bear Annemarie arrives, she leaves the truck and is wheeled off to quarantine ahead of a new life.

And if that was all that happened this would be the greatest day in the life of this bear.

For the rest of us it would be a day to remember for all the right reasons. A day when seven years of cruelty ended for beautiful Annemarie.

Except something else happened.

Update 18/8 0845GMT – – Things are now underway – watch the first short video here:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdYgajvd4jo

 

———————————————————–

 

Animals Asia tweeted: Follow a LIVE timeline of Annemarie’s rescue starting around 9 hours form now:

Bought as an exotic pet while just a cub, this seven-year-old sun bear has only ever known life behind bars – until now.

Follow the rescue live here from 8am Vietnam Time, Thursday, August 17.

Tomorrow an Animals Asia rescue team will head to Nam Dinh province to rescue the female bear. She was originally bought by the current owner’s father who has now passed away. His son – having learnt of the legal requirement to register bears – is keen to do the right thing and voluntarily hand over the bear.

While the illegality of the bear bile industry means that owners will routinely deny extracting bear bile, it’s believed that in this case, the bear has not suffered bile extractions.

However with bile farms still operating and with a market for bear parts for use in traditional medicine, the rescuers are thankful for the voluntary handover and keen for it to take part as soon as possible.

The bear will be given an anesthetic ahead of a transfer to a transport cage before being moved to Animals Asia’s Vietnam Bear Rescue Centre almost 200kms away.

The rescue is going ahead following liaison with the local Forestry and assistance from local charity ENV.

The bear has been named “Annemarie” by the rescuers – after their previous Bear and Vet Team Director and friend Annemarie Weegenaar who recently moved on after a decade in the post.

Tuan Bendixsen Animals Asia’s Vietnam Director said:

“At seven years old this is still a young bear and one that can enjoy a full life in the future. However, there is always a physical price to pay for these bears when they have suffered a lack of space, poor diet and inexpert care. Our vets will carry out a health check as part of the rescue to ensure Annemarie is safe to travel – and she’ll enjoy ongoing rehabilitation and vet care back at our sanctuary.”

It’s likely that this rescue can be completed inside a single day with the bear entering sanctuary quarantine the same day.

Animals Asia has rescued nearly 600 bears – the vast majority from the bear bile industry. Annemarie will be the 150th bear currently being cared for at the Vietnam sanctuary.

Around 1,200 bears are still caged in Vietnam by the bear bile industry with over 10,000 more in China.

Target: Mrs. Elizabeth Glibbery, Manager of Toronto Animal Services

Goal: Demand the maximum penalty for the patron who brought a lion cub into a nightclub to take selfies.

A patron allegedly brought a lion cub into a nightclub and used him to take selfies. The cub was reportedly rented from a zoo that is already facing animal cruelty charges. Demand the maximum penalty in this case.

The Instagram page for Lavelle, a nightclub in Toronto, was flooded with photos of patrons holding and playing with a lion cub. The club claims it was not involved in the lion cub’s appearance and removed the patron from its premises. The patron allegedly obtained the cub from the Bowmanville zoo, a zoo known for its reported mistreatment of animals.

Using a wild animal for social purposes is cruel and illegal. Toronto Animal Services is investigating this incident. Sign below and demand the maximum penalty in this case.

 

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Mrs. Glibbery,

A lion cub was brought into a Toronto nightclub and used as a prop for selfies. A patron reportedly rented the cub from a zoo. We demand that you recommend the maximum penalty in this case.

Many recognized the lion cub by his collar. He appears to be one of four lion cubs born at the Bowmanville zoo, a zoo currently facing charges of animal cruelty. The zoo advertises “lion cub encounters” and has rented its animals out to the public in the past, according to reports.

This lion cub is still very young and needs to be with his mother. Passing him around a nightclub is dangerous to both the cub and its patrons. We demand that you recommend the maximum penalty in this case.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
