MOLY´S LIFE IS IN OUR HANDS!
MORE THAN URGENT,HELP PLEASE!
SHARE EVERYONE!
Something eerily like this has not been seen for a long time!
So many endangered stray dogs have passed through the ´´Beban´´, most of them are successfully recovered thanks to the good people who had helped them. njima.
Nevertheless what was seen last week transcends all boundaries of humanity! After alerting images of a half alive dog wandering streets of Bor, and thanks to the few good people who had kept a dog and called the members of ´´Beban´´, poor baby was urgently taken to the vet who also confirmed that something like this, so sad and miserable had not seen in his whole life!

Poor dog was counting the minutes of her life:(((((((((((((((
It is an older female, malnourished, living skeleton with wounds on her body and one eye that has already been affected by gangrene. Every time we touched her she moaned, barely standing on her feet, frightened and distrustful.

She received adequate therapy, an eye surgery will be done if she recovers a bit, in this condition she would not survive operation. We pray for her, to overcome this and move on, monitoring her status from hour to sat. Currently she is on home treatment.
We beg all of you who follow her story from day one and who care about MOLY (dog´s name) to help ´´Beban´´ to pay the costs of her treatment!

No amount is small!
PLEASE SHARE EVERYONE,MOLY´S LIFE DEPENDS ON US!

Well as you can see, we have now had a play around with the site layout a bit – we hope you like. We have now upgraded the system which will allow us to download and use about 5 times as many images as we have so far; plus the extra ability to give unlimited video link access.
We consider that it is money well spent to improve the site – it was very much a necessity as we were getting near to using all our space available. We may play around with colour and font changes over the next few weeks in order to try out different styles – but whatever we will now have the ability to put masses more onto the site for the future.
It has been a difficult few weeks and at one point the future of the site / continuing was in question. But hopefully now with a new style and presentation we can get down to publishing a lot more. Please get all your connections to visit us when they have time. And remember, you can select and browse through all our previous posts from years gone by by simply selecting any month of any year from the list on the left side of the site.
Best regards – Mark.

Dear Mark,
You and I are facing a crisis that could literally doom hundreds of wildlife species.
Extremists in Congress have declared outright war on the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the very foundation of our nation’s commitment to rescuing threatened and endangered wildlife.
As of this writing, anti-wildlife extremists have introduced nearly 100 legislative measures in Congress aimed at wiping out wildlife protections. And many of these measures are advancing!
If the extremists win, wildlife will die. Many species will decline. Some may even go extinct.
Nearly 100 anti-wildlife legislative measures that could doom hundreds of wildlife species have been proposed this Congress. Some of these measures, like wolf delisting, have passed the full House and gone on to the Senate for consideration!
If these proposals become law:
-
Critically imperiled animals like the northern long-eared bat will never be listed as endangered;
-
Gray wolves will be vulnerable to the whims of wolf-hating states like Wyoming [Passed by full House 2/26/16];
-
Loopholes will allow sea otters and other listed animals to be killed with impunity;
-
And illegal ivory will continue to flow into this country, while elephant poaching will continue to decimate herds [Passed by full House 2/26/16].
Make no mistake, they’re not just targeting specific animals anymore – they’re trying to take down the entire foundation of wildlife protection in America.
Mark, I ask myself this every day – what will we tell our children if they inherit a world without the diversity of life we ourselves inherited?
Without the Endangered Species Act, many of these species may be lost forever.
We’re fighting back. And with you at our side, I am confident that we, and the wildlife we all love, will win.
Thanks for all your help.
Sincerely,
Jamie Rappaport Clark President, Defenders of Wildlife

Petition – Stop the illegal actions and killing of dogs in Serbia – please make sure you sign, then cosspost to the World !


Hi Mark
Thank you so much for posting news about crimes against defenceless dogs in Serbia.
In the last few months, things are getting worse. Local city hygiene services across county catch and kill stray animals. The infamous public communal service “Avenija MB” from the city Vrnjacka Banja is illegally catching dogs from 26 municipalities and has a large profit from animal suffering.
You’re right, the EU must be informed about barbaric methods Serbia authorities are using to reduce the number of homeless dogs, and put pressure on Serbia to respect their own laws.
I’ll share this post with my friends on Care2 and Pinterest.
It is a long way to go, but together we are building a more compassionate world for animals.
P.s. PLEASE SIGN >

Sincerely
D.

Direct campaign links with more – some of which is repeated below:
Tuesday, March 22, 2016
ANIMAL WELFARE ASSOCIATIONS FROM THE WORLD JOINED FORCES TO STOP MASS KILLING OF STRAY DOGS IN SERBIA
They will aim to catch 1500 dogs out of which 1300 will be euthanised.
These dogs are not humanly euthanised.
In the past washing up liquid has been injected into dogs which then suffered for hours and died a slow agonizing death. No one is allowed access to this pound, so we can only imagine the horrors the dogs endure. No food, no water, dogs are eating each other…

Above – Dogs eat each other to survive due to lack of food;
Below – Other pictures from Pozega.






Things have not changed. If anything, things have got worse – this government institution is now openly saying that they will kill 90% of dogs.

Photos below – You can see one “aggressive” dog looking as they take away her babies not daring to come any closer. Yes, they took the puppies away.



The dogcatchers have been watched by Serbian activists: 69 dogs are in the pound, which is not equipped to even have 20 dogs safely. The dogcatchers will be out getting more.

THIS IS ILLEGAL UNDER THE SERBIAN ANIMAL WELFARE LAW.
PLEASE, ACT!

THE TITLE OF THE EMAIL SHOULD BE:
URGENT! Announced unlawful euthanasia by corrupt officials !
THANK YOU:
LETTER TO COPY AND SEND:
To whom it might concern,
We strongly condemn JKP “ Naš Dom” Pozega for their behavior in terms of treatment of abandoned animals. The Animal Welfare Act in Serbia clearly stipulates that abandoned animals cannot be killed except in exceptional circumstances, but must be housed and cared for in the shelters, yet we learned that JKP “ Naš Dom” is planning to kill 90% of the dogs that they catch in 2016.
On the news tonight (16.03.2016 ), on the TV station B92, JKP “ Naš Dom” admitted that in year 2015 out of 1350 captured dogs, 1280 were killed!
We are outraged and appalled by such disrespect of the current law by an institution JKP “ Naš Dom” which is governed by the state! This institution, clearly feels they’re above the law! We will be notifying all competent authorities in the EU and beyond and will be looking into taking measures to prevent future illegal slaughter of animals in Serbia.
We also must add that we are aware of current lynch on street dogs in Nis which is almost announced publicly as form of revenge for the attack carried out on an elderly woman by a pack of dogs. We are also aware of all the unlawful poisonings and killings of animals which are happening in Serbia because the institutions governed by the state assigned to deal with the problem are not following the laws and therefore are failing to deal with the problem as well as not dealing with irresponsible owners who abandon their animals and are part of the problem.
So far we have pointed out how to humanely solve the problem of abandoned animals and for us it is devastating that Serbia does not actually apply these measures. Measures, which are prescribed by the Law.
We are disgusted with the way the law in Serbia is circumvented and we will be taking all measures in our power to stop the planned killing of 1300 animals by JKP “ Naš Dom” in 2016.
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME and Nationality.
——————————————————–
We’re waiting patiently for Serbia to do the right thing!
All the time it undertakes killing such as this which are ILLIGAL under Serbian animal welfare laws, the nation of Serbia should not be allowed to become an EU member state – it is currently a ‘Candidate Country’.
Under EU membership rules, Serbia must be seen to be enforcing the ‘rule of law’ – ie. enforcing strictly its own national legislations, in order to even be considered for membership.
As Serbian officials are corrupt and taking the money which should be for animals, and which instead is being syphoned off for their own interests and gain, Serbia is not a fit nation for EU membership.
For the past 10 years or more we have argued constantly that stray animal sterilisation is the only way to reduce stray animal numbers. Officials do not consider our requests as they want to be paid from central government for every dog which they still illegally kill This can be up to 500 Euros per dog – consider the average wage is around 300 Euros per month – so corruption pays in the eyes of these people !
So for corrupt officials, it is not in their interests to adopt a policy of animal sterilisation and gradual numbers reductions, as it is removing their ‘kill and take the money’ attitude which is keeping them very rich. Stray animals (see the puppies in the photo above) continue to be born, the continue to be rounded up, and the authorities and the people involved get a nice fat payment for every animal which they kill !
And the EU should consider letting this type of authority into the EU as a new member state !!!
It is good to see that Serbian citizens are now waking up to the current situation – they pay the taxes which puts money into the pockets of the authorities after all; and instead are taking to the streets to voice their opposition to the animal killings.

PLEASE, ACT IMMEDIATELY!
