We hope that you agree that Visjna looks such a beautiful little dog now after suffering such terrible injuries a few months ago.  Animals can recover so quickly compared to the human species, that is what makes them different to us, humans, and that is why they should not be used as models for human disease and injury research.

Good luck Visnja, and have a very loving and happy life with your new family.

Serbia / Uk: Press Release From (Uk) RSPCA Regarding Serbian Animal Welfare

We would like to  share the following news with you, all of our friends and fellow campaigners around the World.  For several days now we have been debating if this should be posted, as we know there is opposition about this from some Serbian campaigners, especially regarding the involvement of ‘ORCA’ at the meeting.

 

Yes, we are fully aware of the goings on at ORCA Belgrade in the recent past, and we have posted this information on this site – see links to past news at

 

https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/activists-4-serbian-animals/

 

But, we consider that the meeting with President Tadic and the signing of the petition calling for a Universal Declaration of Animal Welfare can only be positive news for the animals of Serbia.  Maybe Serbian politicians are finally realising that, and as we have always campaigned along the lines of, Serbia should not be allowed accession (membership) of the EU until it vastly improves its animal welfare legislation.

We hope that the information given in the Press Release (given below) by the Uk Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) shows that the link between better animal welfare legislation and EU membership may have finally hit home in Belgrade.

The animal welfare framework law covers all species, and includes research animals, the protection of farm animals, transport and slaughter and the protection of wildlife in captivity, as well as forbidding wild animals in circuses.

Links to both Serbian circus and zoo posts below show that the current situation is dire; and so in our opinion, anything which will change this for the better is worth applauding.  We hope that you agree.

Circus and Zoo links:

 

https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2008/10/15/prisoners-of-the-medieval-belgrade-zoo/

 

https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2008/10/05/action-against-circus-belgrade-october-5th-08/

 

As stated, some campaigners in Serbia are not particularly pleased with the news given below due to ORCA being at the meeting.  But we feel that if new legislation improves animal welfare in zoos and circuses alone, regardless of anything else, then it is a very positive step forward.  One thing can be assured, with implementation of the animal welfare framework law, NGOs will be able to monitor and report failures in the system to the authorities.  Once it becomes an EU member state, Serbia can be formally reported to the Commission if serious failures in legislation implementation are continually seen.  This can result in state prosecutions by the EU Commission if necessary.  Some members of SAV have been involved with similar processes against Uk authorities during the past few years relating to failures in animal welfare legislation implementation, and now have considerable experience of what is required should it be necessary to help giving advice in the future.

 

We hope that like us, you feel that the news given in this PR below is reason to celebrate for once.

 

As always, anyone can leave comments on the site; that is down to the individual.  Maybe it will encourage more debate.  We respect every persons views, especially our friends who live and experience the daily troubles of Balkans strays.  All that can be hoped is that the issue will unite campaigners rather than drive wedges between them; there is only one way the future will improve for animals, and that is for cooperation between parties who should all be on the same side – the animals side !!!

President of Serbia meets with RSPCA ahead of first animal welfare law

Thursday, 23, Apr 2009 12:00

Serbia has today signalled its intent to improve animal welfare following a meeting between the country’s president and the RSPCA, ahead of the introduction of new legislation to better protect animals next month .

RSPCA International’s Senior Programme Manager for Europe, Alexandra Hammond-Seaman met President Tadic after Serbia joined a long line of countries worldwide signing a petition calling for a Universal Declaration of Animal Welfare.

Alexandra said: “It was a great honour to meet President Tadic and discuss such a vitally important issue. The Minister for Agriculture, Saša Dragin signed the petition and confirmed that Serbia will be adopting its first animal welfare framework law in May.”

Serbia is a potential country to join the European Union, and this move will allow the country to harmonise with current EU legislation on animal welfare.

The animal welfare framework law covers all species, and includes research animals, the protection of farm animals, transport and slaughter and the protection of wildlife in captivity, as well as forbidding wild animals in circuses.

After the adoption of this law Serbia will adopt the full EU legal framework on animal welfare into national legislation, as one of the prerequisites in the process towards the EU integration.

Alexandra added “RSPCA International has been actively engaged with Serbia for over five years now, by providing assistance and training with issues such as dog population control and stray dog management. We also work very closely with Serbian government agencies and the veterinary profession on improving farm animal welfare in the Country. We look forward to continuing to play a central role in helping to enforce the law.”

RSPCA International attended the meeting with another non-governmental organisation, the Organisation for Respect and Care for Animals (ORCA) which has in the past worked in Serbia to promote responsible pet ownership.

Inkorporacija u Zakon o dobrobiti zivotinja:

 

Nacionalne no kill sterilizacija strategije , jer je taj nacin jedini  moralan , ekonomski opravdan , I u skladu sa  svim vazecim zakonima  I Ustavom , nacin ya stavljanje pod kontrolu piramide reprodukcije pasa/macaka I time brojnosti populacije ovih zivotinja, bez ubijanja .

 

Zabrana  drzanja divljih zivotinja  svih vrsta u zarobljenistvu  kao I njihovog mucenja I ubijanja iz zabave koja se zove LOV ,  CIRKUSI, ZOO , jer  ovaj nacin u trecem  milenijumu NIJE  nacin  sporta ,edukacije, zabave , nauke, vec nacin narusavanja prirodnog lanca ishrane   I harmonije koju  sama priroda  stvara  kao savrsen graditelj , ciji objekat je I Homo sapiens ,a ne I kompetentan aktivni kreator .

 

Zabrana postojanja naoruzanih civilnih grupa koje unistavaju faunu,bez objektivne mogucnosti nadzora (a opasnost su I za ljude) -koja je  dobro  svih stanovnika Zemlje ,I  koji prave stete i u ljudskoj zajednici, u ovom slucaju u Srbiji , direktno ili indirektno, a  radi personalnih  interesa . Oruzje  mogu posedovati samo policija I vojska jedne drzave, I  na sve legalne nacine provereni pojedinci  , ali samo radi zastite licnog integriteta ,ciju ugrozenost  su duzni dokazati . Tacku tri  incorporirati u odgovarajuci Zakon o posedovanju, nosenju I upotrebi oruzja

Zabrana uzgoja krznasica  radi  njihovog deranja  radi   krzna – jer  se radi o nepotrebnoj surovosti prema ovim zivotinjama, u trecem milenijumu, kada je tehnologija  proizvodnje  odevnih materijala razvijena   I jer covek vec poseduje  sopstvenu kozu  koja mu pokriva telo, te je nepotrebno I stetno da svoje telo pokriva  duplim koznim prekrivacem.

 

Zabrana religioznog ritualnog klanja zivotinja– iz istog razloga zbog kojeg je  zabranjeno I religiozno ritualno klanje ljudi , s obzirom da surovost prema  zivim bicima NIJE temelj ni jedne religije, nego JE lazno obrazlozenje za sopstvene zlocinacke postupke izopacenih umova koji  religiju  time kaljaju I zloupotrebljavaju,  radi zadovoljavanja  licnih psihopatskih motiva.

 

protest81

 

Zabrana  eksperimenata na zivotinjama  jer je nauka dokazala da  se zakljucci eksperimenata na zivotinjama NE mogu  primenjivati na  Homo sapiensa  , I jer je nepotrebno  izazivati patolosko stanje radi  eksperimenata  u iznalazenju  njegovog resavanja  kod samih zivotinja , te su potpuno nepotrebne patnje i smrti  ogromnog broja  zdravih zivotinja  izazvane ovim besmislenim  nekorisnim eksperimentima ,kao i  razbacivanje ogromne kolicine  javnog novca, kojim  se finansiraju  lazni naucnici i  njihovi nenaucni  nepotrebni “radovi”  , a edukacija  ,kojom se  stice zakljucak o neupotrebljivosti rezultata eksperimenata na zivotinjama , moze se   sprovoditi upotrebom CD , DVD  i pisane literature ,  jer je Homo sapiens  na  nivou evolucije svesti  na kojem ima sposobnost imaginarnog zakljucivanja , od 5-gosidnjeg uzrasta ? jedinki Homo sapiensa, ciji kvalitet raste  tokom rasta jedinke,  stoga su :  I zrtve, I troskovi u ovom slucaju nepotrebni.Istim  novcem  potrebno je finansirati  pravu nauku  kako bi se eliminisali realni problemi koji  opterecuju   fiziololoske I patofizioloske funkcije vrste Homo sapiens, slagati time  pravi , umesto laznog mozaika .

ENGLISH:

PROTEST, 09.05.2009. THE VOICE OF ANIMALS IN SERBIA

Goals

 Legal baundaries

 The ways to achieve goals

 Incorporation in the Law for the benefit of animals:

 

No Kill sterilization strategies, because they are the only moral, economicallyjustified way, and in the unison with all current laws and the Serbian Constitution, the way of achieving control of and reducing drastically the pyramid of reproduction of dogs/cats, without any killing.

 

Suppression (prohibition, banning) of keeping wild animals of all kinds in captivity, as well as their torturing and killing for fun, which is called HUNT, CIRCUS, ZOO, because in the third millenium this manner is not the kind of sport, education, fun, science, but the way of disturbing the natural chain of food and the harmony which Nature by itself creates as the perfect creator, whose creation is Homo sapiens as well, and not the competent active creator.

 

protest12

 

Suppression (prohibition, banning) of existance of armed civillian groups which destroy fauna, without objective possibility of surveillance (and they are also danger for humans too)-which is the benefit of all residents of the Earth; and which make damage in the human society also, in this case in Serbia, directly or indirectly, for the cause of personal interest. Weapons should ONLY be owned by the police and the military of the state, and by on all legal ways checked individuals, but only for the purpose of protection of personal integrity, and they have to prove that it is endangered.

 

protest13

 

Suppression (prohibition, banning) of the breeding of the fur-animals for the sake of taking their fur – because it is unnecessary brutality towards these animals, in the third millenium, when the technology of production of cloth is developed, and because humans have also their own skin, which covers their body, so it is not necessary and its harmful to cover their body with the double fur-cover.

 

Suppression (prohibition, banning) of religious ritual slaughtering of animals – from the same reason that is forbidden to ritualy slaughter humans, considering that cruelty towards living beeings IN NOT the foundation of any religion, but false explanation for criminal acts of villainus minds who misuse religion in this way, abuse it, to satisfy their own psychopatic motives.

 

protest14

 

Suppression (prohibition, banning) of experiments over animals – because science has proved that the conclusions of experiments on animals CANT be applied to Homo sapiens, and because it is not necessary to provoke pathological condition to find the solution for the problems that same animals have, so it is completely unnecessary sufferings and deaths of enormous number of healthy animals caused by this nonsensical experiments, as well as the tossing away large amounts of public money which is used to finance false scientists and their unnecessary “works”; and education which leads to conclusion of uselessness of the results of these experiments over animals can be carried out with the use of CD, DVD and written literature, because Homo sapiens in on the level of consciousness on which he has the ability of imaginative coclusions from the age of 5; the quality of human consciousness arise durigh the growth of the person, so the victims and the expenses in this case are not needed. Same money should be used in financing real science, so that the real problems with the fiziological and patofiziological functions of the Homo sapiens could be solved.

International: EU Written Declaration for Stray Animals Now Has a Few Weeks Left – WE NEED YOUR HELP IMMEDIATELY !

euun00015

 

eu-aw-logo2

 

 

The Written Declaration for European Stray and Pet Animals

NOW HAS ONLY THREE WEEKS OR LESS UNTIL ITS CLOSURE.

 

The *** FINISH DATE IS Thursday 7th MAY 2009. ***

 

This is a final call to everyone across Europe to please contact your own national MEPs and ask them to sign up to this declaration.  Most of the hard work has been done for you (see links below); the last leg is down to individual citizens in their own EU member states to rally support from their national MEP’s.

 

Also, please distribute this site link to as many animal welfare organisations as possible on your contacts list, asking them to get their members and supporters to e mail MEP’s.  Even international friends can help us in Europe by putting the word out to contacts in animal welfare organisations.  International pressure will help.

 

For full details of how to find your national MEP’s, including names and sample letters to copy and e mail, please view the following SAV links:

Written Declarations – Time Limit for Adoptionto-hutchinson

 

http://www.europarl.europa.eu/activities/plenary/writtenDecl.do?language=EN

 

Declarations lapse after three months in the register if they have not been signed by at least half the MEPs.

 

There are 785 Members of the European Parliament, and in order to prevent this declaration from finishing on 7th May, we need to gain signatures from at least 50% of MEPs.  It is a very tall order but not impossible.

 

MEPs right across Europe need to be contacted.

 

For full details of how to find your national MEP’s, including names and sample letters to copy and e mail, please view the SAV links above.

 

 

Please act NOW for the stray animals of Europe.

 

Finally;

Today, 17th April, Diana and I have finalised a paper which is going to be included as part of a submission to Mr. Alain Hutchinson MEP, co-author of the Written Declaration on Stray and Pet animals, during the following week by a team of campaigners from ‘SARS’.

 

A copy of the paper can be viewed by accessing the following link:

 

 to-hutchinson1

 

The SAV submission deals specifically with the stray situation in Serbia, currently a non-EU member state but one seeking membership over the next few years.  Other submissions which will be presented to Mr. Hunchinson will be associated with the situation for stray animals in other EU member and current non-member states.

 

We have been limited to the amount of space for our particular submission, but hope that you will find it is short but informative, the photographs of the situation for Serbian strays on the final pages say everything in our opinion.  We hope that this paper is a part justification for

 

1                    Serbia to seriously address its national stray population situation, and

2                    The European Union to implement Union-wide legislation in the very near future which will give member states no option but to implement better welfare legislation for stray animals.

 

The final words from Diana and I state the following:

 

With the EU elections this June (2009), we feel it is the responsibility of our elected members of the European Parliament to immediately pass and implement EU-wide legislation for the protection and welfare of all European stray and roaming animals. Europe cannot wait another ten years for action”.

 

Europe cannot keep dismissing this issue of stray animals.  Europe needs to act and act now.  We hope that the signatures given to this declaration will be a good indicator as to how much ‘animal welfare’ actually means to each and every MEP.  This is an ideal time as the views of each MEP in relation to this Declaration can be used by Euro citizens when deciding who to cast their vote(s) for at the EU Elections this June.

 

 

Thank You for your time and efforts for European Strays –

Mark and Diana – SAV.

 

Please, make these last few weeks productive weeks for the stray animals of Europe.
