Things have been happening at EPAR shelter.
This is a dog and cat rescue facility which gets no support or funding from the authorities or government, despite many attempts to have funding as a rescue shelter for stray animals from the streets.
Slavica covers all the costs herself. If you can help with a donation, please go to the end of this post for further information.
A member of the public called about a dog who was in the forest; tied to a tree with wire around his neck.
The injury to his neck caused by the wire.
After the wire had been removed and the dog had been taken back to care at EPAR shelter. You can clearly see the wire which was wrapped around his neck.
Another call was made by people about a dog from the street who had found cover and who was now living in an old garage with no door. You can see her cowering under the old tractor.
These people wanted to call the shinters to catch and take the dog – to kill her;, but then a call was made to EPAR shelter. EPAR arrived and rescued her; she in now living at the EPAR shelter. You can see her here being rescued by Adrijana, one of the EPAR team.
Back at the EPAR shelter, building work is happening; new wood and bags of cement are being purchased to make new corners for the new dog houses.
Because it is very hot in summer and the dogs need plenty of fresh, clean water; new drums are selected ready to be cut down into new large drinking bowls.
When the drums are cut down to size; they make clean new water dishes for all the dogs at EPAR shelter. Below are just a few ready for dogs and the hot days of summer.
And below are a series of pictures of some of the residents at EPAR shelter; dogs which have been saved from the streets and killing by the shinter teams.
Daily costs continue – food, new shelters, drinking dishes, medicines, building materials;
See more recent pictures of the dogs by visiting:
If you would like to give a donation to help the running costs of EPAR shelter, then please make your donation in the following way.
Thank You.
Please use the following for any donations to EPAR shelter:
One of the best and cheapest ways to send money donations internationally is by Western Union.
Transfer costs vary and are worked out simply depending on the amount of the donation – you only pay more if you donate larger quantities.
In most countries donations can be done on line, by telephone, or visiting a local agent.

For direct donations, the following EPAR account in Hungary should be used as a preference to Serbian accounts; as taxes and costs are smaller and more goes to helping the animals:

Serbian campaigners have now asked permission to be given for free admission of all humanitarian supplies for dogs and cats into (entering) Serbia.
This means that there would be an exemption from charges and costs for all products which are donated and supplied to stray animals at Serbian shelters.
At her recent meeting with President Tadic, Nancy; the representative of NGO ‘SOS for Serbian Animals’, – see photograph below; was told by President Tadic that an official request would need to be made to the Veterinary Department of Serbia.
This request has now been produced and sent. We eagerly await a response from the Veterinary Department.
At the end of this post are copies of the request letters which have been sent.
We very much hope that the request meets with approval from the Veterinary Department, as then, the strays of Serbia will be able to receive food and medicines from all over the world without the fear of large additional costs being placed on the sender once the goods arrive at the Serbian border.
More news, hopefully positive, will be provided when we have it.

Pchan whale named Kuru
(video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVBLqzxenoE&feature=player_embedded
This startling footage shows the dramatic moment a dolphin suddenly leapt out of its tank in a desperate bid to escape captivity.
The dolphin, a species known as the false killer whale, had been taking part in a marine show at Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in southwestern Japan when it jumped on to the floor near its tank.
A U.S. tourist who was among spectators at the event shot the video footage and sent it to the former dolphin trainer for the ‘Flipper’ TV show.
Shock: The false killer whale, a species of dolphin, leapt out of its tank during a marine show at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in southwestern Japan
Ric O’Barry, 70, who now makes a career out of freeing dolphins, said the video highlights the cruelty the animals suffer while in captivity.
The footage shows the stricken dolphin, called Kuru, lying on the floor as staff desperately wrap it in a mat and use a crane to lift it back into the water.
The other dolphins in the tank appear to be distressed and gathered around the side where the creature leapt out.
Mr O’Barry said: ‘The habitat of that false killer whale is so unnatural it leapt out in desperation.
‘It wanted to end it. Why does a person jump out of a building?’
Captive: The stricken animal lies on the floor as the other dolphins look on seemingly distressed
Plight: Staff wrapped the dolphin in mats and kept it wet with a hosepipe before it could be put back into the tank
Hideshi Teruya, who manages the dolphin section at the park, said the it suffered minor scratches and bruises on its head and fin, but had a healthy appetite for mackerel and squid after it was returned to the tank.
He said: ‘It was playing around and jumped out by accident from the momentum.’
Kuru, which means ‘black’ in the local dialect, was captured six years ago in the seas around Okinawa.
Mr Teruya denied the captivity was cruel and said the tank was not overcrowded and followed aquarium guidelines.
But Mr O’Barry said the guidelines were inadequate and that dolphins were used to roaming for many miles a day, not swimming in a circle and doing flips at shows.
Rescued: The female dolphin, known as Kuru, is put back among her fellow creatures using a crane
Escape bid? A member of staff looks on as the dolphin leaps out of the tank. The other dolphins can be seen on the far side of the pool
He added that keeping them in a concrete box was cruel because it bombarded them with strange sounds and deprived them of their key sensory skill.
He said: ‘It proves that captivity doesn’t work. They are free-ranging creatures with a very large brain.
‘They’re self-aware and putting them in a small tank in a stadium setting is abusive.’
Mr O’Barry featured in a film about Japanese dolphin hunting – The Cove – in which he attempted to stop the slaughter of the animals for food in the town of Taiji.
It used hidden cameras to show how the dolphins are killed – workers herd them into a cove and stab they with spears as they writhe in the water.
The film, which won best documentary at the Oscars, opened in Japanese cinemas this month despite protests and threats.

SAV Comment
Dolphins belong in the oceans swimming free, not performing dead beat tricks for dead beat, camera clicking humans who care not a jot about anything except what they have to do that afternoon.
Sad, sick humans !
Why not spend the afternoon watching ‘The Cove’ instead ? – they may just learn something.

Dear all;
This is just a short note to inform you that at the moment, I am having to give most of my attention to another project rather than SAV.
I am personally coordinating / producing a report which will be presented to the European Union in the next couple of months regarding major investigations into live animal welfare during transport in certain parts of Europe.
It is hoped that the report will contribute to changes in EU legislation ensuring that there will be a major overall reduction in the times which live animals currently endure in transportation.
The report is a joint production by several of Europe’s best undercover animal transport welfare organisations, which include:
PMAF – Protection Mondiale des Animaux de Ferme – France.
PMAF website: http://www.pmaf.org/
EoA – Eyes on Animals – the Netherlands.
Eyes on Animals website: http://eyesonanimals.com/
Animals’ Angels – Germany.
Animals’ Angels website: http://www.animals-angels.de/startseite,en_ORG.html
KALE – Kent Against Live Exports – England, Uk.
KALE website: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~kale/news/103.htm
It is a major report and the above organisations hope that it will start a major re think about live animal transport throughout Europe.
I will attempt to keep SAV updated with new posts whenever the chance arrives, but please consider that priority has to currently be given elsewhere at the moment.
Thanks and regards
Mark – SAV.

This way is the best, because in this way tax for money transfer is very low and it is not needed to pay tax to Serbian authorities who have done nothing for dogs, but ask high tax for donations.
Thank You so very much and
