26/12/13 – latest news in from Romania.

Text has not been modified.

Dear friends,

I have some good news about this new law.

According to the law, now the distance adoption is available in public shelters. This mean that the city hall will fix an amount of money which the distance adopter will have to pay every month for the dog/dogs he adopted. If he miss to pay the monthly amount for 2 weeks after the deadline, that dog will be killed.

With your help Animals Voice want to distance adopt some dogs from the public shelter and give them the possibility to live more than 14 days.

Distance adoption cost around 40 euros/dog every month. In this way the dog will be moved from the commune enclosure (where he can stay with 7-8 other dogs) to a separate one with food, vaccination, neuter and medical care. In this way, by distance adoption we can stop the euthanasia of dogs and you will have a dog in Romania who will thank you for saving his life.

Let’s start the new year by saving some lives!

Donate for a distance adoption here and write on your donation “ADOPTION” :

25/12/13 – A Message of Hope.

Posted on December 25, 2013 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Christmas Day 2013 – and Venus set us the following very thoughtful message:

I have long ago ceased to send conventional Christmas and New Year greetings.
On the one hand, because I do not believe that Santa Claus will bring a better future for the animals.
On the other hand, because I know that the “Feast of Love” in reality is only associated with battles, blood and exploitation.

But, at the end of the tunnel, appears a little star, it shines hopeful!

It is brought by all good magicians who fight for the rights of all inhabitants of the earth! Organizations, animal rights activists, people with courage and morality, knights in constant crusade ride for the renaissance of animal history.

I believe in all of these and I think on them in Christmas and with every New Year.

To all these, to you dear Marc, and to the SAV team, I send my heartfelt wishes for a better future for the animals, because I firmly believe that this fight will make us all better people too.

SAV Comment:

Thank you Venus for your very special message; we really appreciate it.

I do not have to say to you; but man is the most vile creature on this beautiful planet.

He, and only he, is the species that brings shame, hatred and cruelty to this world.

The animals are harmless innocents who have to endure the cruelty of mankind.

But, there are many of us who try to fight back in defence of the innocent creatures.

We are very happy to be a little star of hope which shines at the end of the tunnel.

Hopefully, by spreading the word of the suffering of our fellow animals, we can make the star shine brighter and brighter each day.

This has been our aim for many years in the past and it is our aim for the future – starting in 2014.  The cruelty will never stop completely; man will not allow that to happen; but by sharing information between activists and our supporters; by spreading of the word, we can and will take on all the evils that exist in the form of humankind.  We will endeavour to help and protect the innocent of this world – the animals.

Thank you for your kind words Venus – if the world was full of people like you, it would be a much better place.

Take care;

Regards Mark.

USA (Idaho): *** URGENT – Take Action Before 28/12 *** – Tell the Forest Service and BLM No Wolf-Killing Contests on Public Lands.

They Want to Make a Game of Killing Wolves

Tell the Forest Service and BLM No Wolf-Killing Contests on Public Lands

The anti-wolf crazies are smelling blood and now they’ve organized a wolf-killing contest on public lands in Idaho.

A small anti-wolf group in Idaho is even trying to appeal to kids and families as if a body-count, wolf-killing contest is somehow a wholesome thing to do.

We’re trying to stop the hunt before it’s scheduled to occur on December 28 and 29 near Salmon, Idaho.

Join us in our outrage in telling the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management to not allow the bloodshed to happen. They can stop this game of killing wolves. Tell these agencies they need to reverse course, follow their own rules, and prohibit contest participants from killing wolves and coyotes on federal lands.

If the hunt proceeds, participants would kill wolves and coyotes in a competition for prizes, including cash awards. Children as young as 10 can participate in the kill-fest. And event organizers are expecting up to 300 participants. Imagine the blood they could spill with that many people!  

Wildlife killing contest are ethically indefensible events – they are biologically and ecologically reckless, demean the immense ecological and economic value of predators, and teach children to trivialize the lives of animals.

Both federal agencies have regulations and policies that prohibit commercial, competitive events on national forests and other public lands without special permits, but both agencies are allowing the Idaho contest participants to hunt on their lands without complying with federal law.

Ironically, Dec. 28 is also the 40th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act, our nation’s safety-net for wildlife and the law that brought wolves back from the brink of extinction. We should be celebrating the return of wolves on that date, not slaughtering them for prizes. Demand that the federal agencies in charge of our public lands stop facilitating these killing contests and, instead, comply with their own rules and policies.

Time is running out for wolves in Idaho.

Join us in telling these federal leaders that contest hunts—especially one involving wolves—don’t belong on America’s public lands—in Idaho or anywhere for that matter.

USA: Dog Rescued from Trash Dump Befriends Pup Saved from Drainpipe.

Dog Rescued from Trash Dump Befriends Pup Saved from Drainpipe

LA Husky rescue

Here’s an inspiring story out of Los Angeles about a 1-year-old female Husky dog – found and presumed abandoned – at a trash dump.  She was rescued by a dedicated animal lover named Eldad Hagar of Hope for Paws Animal Rescue Organization. Found in deplorable condition, her life begins to change for the better.

A Good Samaritan named Daniel observed a grungy dog walking by the railroad tracks at a nearby trash dump. He followed her to where she was apparently living.  Snapping some photos, he texted them to Hope for Paws in an attempt to get the sad dog rescued. “I’m sure many others must have seen her, but no one attempted to help until Daniel,” said Eldad Hager, Co-founder of Hope for Paws.

An Act of Dog.

Posted on December 21, 2013 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

 

Huge art project captures the plight of shelter dogs | HLNtv.com 

http://www.hlntv.com/slideshow/2013/12/15/act-dog-non-profit-art-project  via @hlntv

View Paintings:  http://anactofdog.org/An_Act_of_Dog/Paintings.html

Website:  http://anactofdog.org/An_Act_of_Dog/Home.html

When Mark Barone and Marina Dervan decided to start a nonprofit company to create a way to remember dogs that lost their lives in kill shelters, they had no way of knowing that the project would take on a life of its own.

At first glance, An Act of Dog seems to be a gallery of the faces of dogs. A closer look reveals that each picture has a date underneath, which represents the day the dog died in a shelter because it did not find a home.

While the project appears to be an overwhelmingly sad one, Barone and Dervan believe it carries a message that people need to hear.

An Act of Dog began in September 2011 with a focused objective: To raise $20 million to be given directly to funding no-kill shelters, foster groups and proactive marketing campaigns. Barone and Dervan decided to start the project after considering an adoption. They didn’t adopt at that time, but what they did learn startled them — the statistics that showed them 5,500 dogs died every day because they weren’t in no-kill shelters.

Save Santa’s Home – Stop Drilling In The Arctic !

Posted on December 21, 2013 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Hi Mark,

I know who’s at the top of my naughty list this Christmas – Shell, Gazprom and any other oil company who wants to drill in the Arctic, wrecking Santa’s home.

Watch this video featuring beautiful footage of Arctic animals, and see how Christmas is going down for them. Sharing with your friends is a great way to put a smile on their face, while letting them know about the threat to the North Pole.

In September, 28 activists and two journalists went to the Arctic to peacefully protest plans to drill in the Arctic. Russian energy giant, Gazprom called in armed special forces to arrest them.

First they were accused of piracy, then hooliganism, spending two months in prison.

This week they were granted an amnesty… for a crime they didn’t commit. And as Pete Willcox, captain of the Arctic Sunrise, said: “There’s no amnesty for the Arctic.”

Gazprom’s bullying tactics make me so angry – we can’t let them get away with it. The campaign to save the Arctic will go on. It has to, otherwise Santa’s home really will disappear.

Thanks,

Esther

Seasons Greetings From SAV. Thanks For Your Support.

Posted on December 20, 2013 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

SAV Christmas

Please click on the above link.

Well, what can you say ?; another year has whizzed past and we are now in the last few days approaching 2013 Christmas.

Over this year, as always, SAV has attempted to bring you information relating to a range of animal welfare issues from many places around the world.  Despite the name of ‘Serbian Animals Voice’, wings have spread much wider than the specific issue that SAV was originally founded for.  Work for Serbian animals and the Serbian environment (with the EU) are regularly taking place off line; info which has to be kept between respective parties for obvious reasons.  The simple fact is that we are in the business of putting ourselves out of business – but that will only happen when there are no more animal abuse issues to focus on globally.  But, I think it quite easy to say that as long as there are the human species on this planet, that will never happen unfortunately.

If you are still looking for those last minute presents, then why not consider giving a donation to one of the animal charities we cover on our site in the name of your family member or friend.  Animal welfare groups and organisations need all the help and support they can get – please help them if you are able.  SAV is a volunteer run group and so we do not ask for your money; instead we attempt to publish animal welfare organisation and web links where possible in order that you can follow up and give to those organisations if you so wish.

The campaigning goes on and will continue into 2014.

This December has been a very hard time personally as I lost my beloved ‘Golda’ (photo below) in the early part of the month.  https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/2013/12/08/beautiful-golda-081213/

She was a beautiful, loving dog who gave everything to me – I want to continue the fight for justice for all animals in 2014 in her name and in her memory.  She was so very special to me.

Its Christmas

Thoughts are also with Danica and in memory of little Archi (above) who also crossed the bridge this year.  https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/2013/10/28/archi/ – just two out of millions of animals who leave us every day of each year; they were two who were special to us personally and who were very much cared for – unlike many millions who pass without even a second thought about their pitiful, suffering and abused lives trying to survive on the streets, in factory farms, in long distance transport, suffering abhorrent slaughter practices, hunting and in vivisection labs etc, etc, etc.

Thank you for visiting us this year and for your overwhelming support.  You only have to look at our global map on the left hand side of this site to see that word about so many animal issues are reaching all corners of the world.  You are all doing your bit by spreading the word on suffering even further – well done and congratulations !

Wishing you all the very best for the season and I hope and trust you will stick with us and visit regularly in 2014.

Best regards and thanks;

Mark – SAV Founder;

Kent, England UK.
