IMPORTANT – Please ensure that you copy and send BOTH the Serbian and then the English OR German versions of the letter in your e mail.
The Serbian copy will put pressure on, and ensure the Serbians are left in no doubt as to the situation; and that the EU is being informed of their actions. Remember that Serbia is an EU ‘Candidate Country’ and very much wishes to join the EU. But if it does not follow it own rules / laws, (the EU requirement of the ‘rule of law’); then it should never be allowed to become an EU member.
All the Serbian e mail addresses to which the letters should be sent are given in the first list. EU listings are then supplied.
Please copy them all and paste into one e mail, along with the Serbian and English / German copy of the letter.
This can also be done by NON EU citizens; you could declare your name and nationality at the end – thank you.

TOP URGENT PROTEST ADDRESSED TO THE SERBIAN AUTHORITIES AND THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

– Serbian Text
Poštovani
Dobili smo nezvanične informacije da će u Skupštini grada Niša biti doneta odluka o eutanaziji napuštenih životinja , kako u prihvatilištu koje je inače ne registrovan objekat , tako i onih koji se nalaze na ulicama, a koje se masovno hvataju na najsurovije moguće načine i odvode u gore pomenuti objekat.
Ovim putem najoštrije osuđujemo bilo kakvu ovakvu odluku , jer za nemiile događaje u kome su ljudi povređeni od strane napuštenih pasa , odmazdu ne treba da snose drugi psi, jer nisu oni krivi , već organi koji nisu postupali u skladu sa Zakonom o dobrobiti životinja i počev od dana donošenja Zakona nisu preduzeli svoje zakonske obaveze u cilju smanjenja broja napuštenih životinja.
Zakon mora da se poštuje, a za njegovo nepoštovanje, koje je očigledno, posledice ne trebaju da snose psi .
Zahtevamo da se bilo kakva eventualna protivzakonita odluka Skupštine grada Niša stavi van snage , te da se na ozbiljan i sistematski način pristupi rešavanju problema napuštenih životinja , jer bilo kakvi ad hoc masakri neće dati rezultate i ovakvi događaji će se iznova ponavljati.

– English Text (for EU Parliament)
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.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
Wir verurteilen JKP ” Naš Dom” Pozega für ihr Verhalten in Bezug auf die Behandlung von ausgesetzten Tieren. Das Tierschutzgesetz in Serbien ist deutlich festgelegt, Tiere dürfen nicht getötet werden, außer in extremen Ausnahmefällen, sondern müssen im Tierheim/Pension untergebracht und betreut werden. Jedoch haben wir erfahren, dass JKP ” Naš Dom” vor hat 90% der Hunde die sie im Jahr 2016 fangen zu töten.
In den Nachrichten am 16.03.2016, auf dem Sender B92 haben JKP ” Naš Dom” zugegeben, dass im Jahre 2015 aus den 1350 gefangen genommenen Hunden, 1280 getötet wurden!
Wir sind empört und entsetzt über diese Missachtung des Gesetzes von JKP ” Naš Dom”, eine Institution die vom Staat geregelt wird! Wir werden alle zuständigen Behörden in der EU benachrichtigen und darüber hinaus werden wir auch Maßnahmen erforschen um weitere illegale Schlachtung von Tieren in Serbien zu vermeiden.
Wir wissen ebenfalls, dass das aktuelle Lynchen von Straßenhunden in Nis öffentlich angekündigt wird, als Rache für einen früheren Hundeangriff auf eine ältere Frau.
Staatliche Organisationen sehen illegale Vergiftung und Töten der Straßentiere als die einzige Lösung zu diesem Problem, anstatt sich mit verantwortungslosen Besitzern zu beschäftigen, die nur weiter zu dem Problem hinzufügen in dem sie ihre Hunde auf die Straße aussetzen.
Wir haben an die Serbischen Organisationen Empfehlungen weitergeleitetet, wie die Situation der Straßenhunde verbessert werden könnte, rechtmäßig und ohne das es den Tieren zu Schaden kommt. Für uns ist es einfach unfassbar, dass diese tierfreundliche Maßnahmen in Serbien nicht eingesetzt werden. Maßnahmen, die durch das Gesetz eigentlich vorgeschrieben sind!
Wir sind empört wie das Gesetz in Serbien umgangen wird und wir werden alles in unserer Macht steht tun um die geplante Tötung von 1300 Tieren von JKP ” Naš Dom” in 2016 zu verhindern.

Target: Milovan Mićović, Mayor of Pozega
Goal: Shut down the inhumane JKP Nas Dom dog pound
A dog shelter regularly referred to as a “concentration camp for dogs” by animal rights activists is operating in the town of Pozega, Serbia.
The JKP Nas Dom dog pound is responsible for bringing in stray dogs from Pozega’s streets. However, the pound is notorious for its cruelty to the dogs incarcerated there—neglect, beatings, starvation and murder are regular occurrences.
Sign this petition to pressure local authorities to close down this kill shelter and save hundreds, if not thousands, of stray dogs from horrific suffering.
Groups are working to promote adoption of animals in the JKP Nas Dom pound, but funds are running low and adoption needs to be outsourced to other European countries, as adopters cannot be found in Serbia alone. In the meantime, the horrific stories of barbarism are enough to warrant an order to close the facility.
Animal rights activists have witnessed accounts of dogs that are so weak and emaciated that they no longer react to the terrible beatings they are given. They have also seen a mother of pups watching her young die on the cold, hard ground while the pups that still live eat the remains of their siblings just to stay alive. Dogs are starved before they are killed, sometimes by lethal injection without sedation or often by beating and strangulation.
The horror stories coming from this facility are almost beyond belief. We need to pressure local authorities to close JKP Nas Dom down and find better ways to control the stray population.
Sign this petition to save countless more dogs from miserable lives of torture and death.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mr. Mićović,
I was outraged to learn of the cruel abuse taking place at the JKP Nas Dom dog pound in Pozega. Horrific stories have been written of the facility’s practices: dogs so starved and weak that they no longer react to awful beatings, mothers forced to watch as their pups die and be eaten by the surviving litter, and dogs being beaten and strangled to death.
Although some groups are trying to save these animals by promoting their adoption, funds have ceased and now the stray dogs are forced to live through torture and misery in the JKP Nas Dom pound. There is no reason that dogs should be treated in this way. The stray dog problem in Serbia can be solved by spaying and neutering to ensure that the stray population does not grow.
This horrific facility needs to be closed down. The terrible suffering of these stray dogs cannot be measured by any of our standards. Stories so appalling that they seem unbelievable are common from JKP Nas Dom, but we cannot let the suffering of these animals continue.
Please allow these stray dogs to find homes with loving owners. Stop the torture and death in the animal concentration camp that is JKP Nas Dom, and finally close this cruel facility.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

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!
PAYPAL:svetlanad781@gmail.com
No amount is small!
PLEASE SHARE EVERYONE,MOLY´S LIFE DEPENDS ON US!

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.

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!

——————————————————–
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!
