Background (Preamble):

ENGLISH
(Scroll down for Serbian, please)

It is not necessary to be a biologist or a ranger in order to spot that
there are no wild animals in most parts of Serbia. It is sufficient to be a
humane person and have a walk in a forest or a plane and notice that there
is no life, except plants’. There are even no unprotected birds, let alone
the protected ones. You may spot a hare here and there what concerns
bigger animals, but in thirty visits to nature you’ll see only one
ran-over fox with its dead offspring.
In spite of these facts, the officials do not undertake a measure, which
is adopted in many countries – ban hunt. May be hunting is not an
exclusive cause of the deserted nature, but it is certainly the main one.

Not only because of the numerous guns in merciless hands, but also for the
disturbance, which hunt causes in an area for a long time, and also
because of the hurting of people, which often occurs. Instead of the
«traditional» chases, followed by folk’s festivities, the last could be
organised with shooting artificial targets and lectures of celebrities,
who promote animal rights.

It is also known that artificial raising of «game» causes misbalance in
nature, because the so raised individuals do not comply with the rules,
characteristic to their species. For instance, the ducks from incubators
do not hatch their eggs, in that way reducing the total number of «fowl».
Here we do not ponder over guesses whether there is criminal in hunting
in general, «mafia», abuses etc. We are concerned with the well-being of the
natural world in our country. Therefore we demand

1. Ban on all kinds of hunting, including chases, for at least three
years, in all seasons.
2. Permanent ban on hunting migrating birds in all seasons.
3. Strict control of every kind of fishing.
4. Escalating all penalties for breach of the aforementioned and all
existing limitations, permanent disarming inclusive.
5. Permanent ban on breeding “fowl”.

At the end of the second year it will be possible to allow hunting boars
(exclusively), if they become very numerous in some areas. Such a permit
will be issued by the Ministry of agriculture, water management, and
forestry.

The aforementioned measures will be carried out on the whole of the
Serbian territory. Adequate non-governmental organisations should be
included in the control of their implementation. They should also help
hunters to take care of their dogs, if they don’t want to keep them. The
NGOs should aid the organisations, that live of hunting, to organise
tourist or ecological activities, the so called “safari-tourism”,
excursions with cameras etc. There are many more persons with cameras than
those with guns.

SRPSKI

Nije potrebno biti prirodnjak ili šumar da bi se uočilo kako u većem delu
Srbije nema divljih životinja. Dovoljno je biti humana osoba i prošetati
šumom ili livadom, pa primetiti da nedostaje život, sem biljnog. Nema ni
ptica, koje nisu zaštićene – zeba, slavuja, ševa, senica, detlića,
prepelica, mišara – a kamoli zaštićenih. Od krupnijih životinja ćete možda
primetiti ponekog zeca, ali u trideset poseta prirodi videćete samo jednu
zgaženu lisicu na putu sa nastradalim mladunčetom.

I pored toga, nadležni ne pribegavaju meri kakva je doneta u mnogim
zemljama – zabrani lova. Možda nije lov isključivi krivac za pustu
prirodu, ali je sigurno glavni. Ne samo zbog brojnih ubojitih pušaka u
nemilosrdnim rukama, već i usled uznemiravanja, koje lov prouzrokuje na
duže vreme u određenom predelu, a brojna su i ranjavanja ljudi. Umesto
“tradicionalnih” hajki s narodnim veseljem, mogu se organizovati narodna
veselja sa gađanjem glinenih golubova i posetama istaknutih ličnosti, koje
zastupaju zaštitu životinja.

Poznato je i da uzgoj “divljači” dovodi do neravnoteže u prirodi, jer se
uzgojene jedinke ne ponašaju u skladu sa zakonitostima, svojstvenim
njihovoj vrsti. Patke iz inkubatora, na primer, ne izlegu nasađena jaja,
pa se tako smanjuje i broj divljih jedinki.
Ovde se nećemo upuštati u nagađanja da li i u ovoj oblasti postoji
kriminal, “mafija”, zloupotrebe itd. Nas zanima dobrobit živog sveta u
našoj zemlji, stoga zahtevamo

1. Zabranu svake vrste lova, uključujući hajke, na najmanje tri godine, u
svim sezonama.
2. Trajnu zabranu lova na ptice-selice u svim sezonama.
3. Trajnu zabranu uzgajanja pernate “divljači”.
4. Strogu kontrolu svake vrste ribolova.
5. Znatno pooštravanje kazni za kršenje ovih (i dosadašnjih) ograničenja,
uključujući i trajno oduzimanje oružja.

Na kraju druge godine moratorijuma moći će da se dozvoli lov na divlje
svinje (isključivo), ukoliko se pokaže da su se one prenamnožile u nekim
oblastima.

Ove mere će se sprovoditi na području cele Republike Srbije. U nadzor nad
njihovim ostvarivanjem treba uključiti odgovarajuća nevladina tela, koja će
takodje pomagati lovcima da zbrinu svoje pse, ukoliko ih ne žele zadržati, kao i organizacijama što žive od lova da se bave turističkim i
ekološkim delatnostima, tzv. safari-turizmom, izletima s kamerom i
fotoaparatom i sl. Daleko više osoba poseduje fotoaparat, nego pušku.

Dear all;

SAV is an organisation devoted to global animal welfare issues.  But that does not stop us from being concerned about natural / environmental issues also.  You can see a little about our involvement with Stara Planina, another beautiful Serbian wilderness under threat from government, at the following: https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2009/01/15/serbia-beautiful-environmental-region-of-serbia-to-become-ski-centre-please-read-and-take-action/ 

This is another appeal, initially simply a request to ask you to give your support to a petition to save the river Rzav, which may be damned and thereafter used for what ? – mineral extraction ?, a source of water supply to towns and cities ?

Whatever, the flora and fauna of the delicate region is under immense threat by money grabbing politicians and industrialists, who, as long as they gain financially out of the project, do not care what damage they do to the environment.

They need to be informed about public opinion; please give a minute of your time to signing the petion to save the river Rzav.  The more global support there is, especially from within the EU, the more pressure that can be put on Serbian ministers.  Serbia wishes to join the EU, we wish the Serbian government to show respect to animals, nature and the environment.

Please sign the petition to save the river.

Thanks – SAV.

Full petition wording follows – English and Serbian.

Feel Free to copy and crosspost to all your contacts – global support is essential.

Postovani posetioci,

We would be honored if, along with signing of this Petition, you leave your comment related to the river Rzav (see the comment section provided). Thank you!

(posle teksta na engleskom sledi tekst na srpskom jeziku)

Building of the dam on the river Rzav will sentence the river to a death!

It took a million of years for the nature to build up the river Rzav in the form and look we have and enjoy today. And a man strives to destroy it pretty soon.

Please, sign up the Petition to revoke the death sentence to the river Rzav – the last river in Serbia unpolluted along its entire course.

At the end of 2008 on the Facebook website it was founded a Group GOD SAVE RZAV with the fundamental goal – to protect and save the Rzav river in its original form and genuine look. The river Rzav is the only river in Serbia that is absolutely unpolluted along its entire course.

As one of the shiniest pearls of the string of Serbian nature beauties, the river Rzav has been recently looked at by the eye of industry of the entire region and the country as a whole. No wonder to that at all regarding the fact that the river Rzav possess nature resource that many futurologists long ago found as the hugest wealth of the future – clean and clear water.

The river Rzav is now to be offered to alter of the God of money and is convicted to make its sacrifice! Several concrete-made “knives” (dams) are planned to be plunged into its beautiful, tender body. If that happens, the river Rzav, in its form and look well known to us, will disappear forever entering the empire of our memories only.

The new, huge water surfaces will destroy stream-rapids, cliffy Canyons, livid-green whirlpools and healing spas of the river Rzav. The climate will automatically change itself and instead of Sun we will get fog. Also, its influence on agriculture, the fundament of this region, could be only guessed, then.

Our goal is to bring together as many people as possible into this non-profitable Group turning, that way, a quantity into a quality in just a moment. Along with your help we will organize and run various actions including:

%u2022 Creations of the Petitions
%u2022 Alarming the public
%u2022 Cleaning of the river Rzav
%u2022 Chasing and driving the poachers away the river coasts
%u2022 Miscellaneous happenings in the sphere of culture and sport, etc.

Therefore, I cordially call you to join us, to visit the coasts of the Saint River Rzav and have a drink of the crystal clear water from your palm, like modern Diogens did. That way we will forever save the river Rzav, not only for us, but for future generations we borrowed it from, for only awhile.

Next year, I plan to take a walk along the entire course of the river Rzav (from its spring to its chops) and that way to make maybe the last film about the last unpolluted river in Serbia.

Reka Rzav. Jedina preostala nezagadjena reka u Srbiji celim tokom.

Na Rzav, jedan od najsjajnijih bisera u niski srpskih prirodnih lepota, oko je bacila industrija celog regiona, a i sire. A to i ne cudi s obzirom da Rzav poseduje bogatsvo koje su mnogi futorolozi jos davno proglasili najvecim blagom buducnosti; cistu vodu.

Na oltar Boga Novca, prinece se zrtva zvana Rzav, tako sto ce se u njegovo prelepo i ranjivo telo zabiti nekolio betonskih nozeva (brana). Time ce Rzav, kakvog ga sad poznajemo, zauvek otici u carstvo secanja. Nove ogromne vodene povrsine unistice leprsave brzake, vrletne kanjone, modrozelene virove, lekovite banje… Klima ce se promeniti i umesto Sunca dobicemo maglu, a o uticaju na okosnicu privrede ovog kraja, poljoprivredu, moze se samo nagadjati.

Cilj Peticije je prikupljanje sto vise potpisa koje cemo podneti Republickoj Skupstitni, nadleznim ministarstvima i medijima cime dajemo konkretan doprinos afirmaciji ideje spasavanja Svete reke Rzav.

Postovani posetioci,

Bili  bismo Vam jako zahvalani ako biste, pored potpisivanaja Peticije, uneli u predvidjenu rubriku i Vasu licnu poruku, koja bi se odnosila na Rzav. Hvala!

This needs to be saved for the children of the future !!
