Serbia: The Story of ‘Himel’ – Saved by EPAR Shelter

The Story of ‘Himel’

 

Slavica has sent us the story of ‘Himel’.

 

This little dog was named Himel because the owner of a private company named ‘HIMEL’, near to Subotica, telephoned Slavica on the 27th February saying that there was a stray dog which had been in a field near to his company for many days.

 

himel1

 

The Company Sign – HIMEL D.O.O.

himel21A Dog is reported in the field – you can just see him at the centre of the photograph.

Slavica was asked if she wanted to come and take the dog, otherwise the company owner was going to call the local Shinters who would take him away and kill him.

Of course Slavica would come and take the dog !

And so the little dog was collected from the field; he was alone and without any hope.  He was an old dog but very sweet. 

 himel32

And so it was decided that he should be called ‘Himel’ after the company that telephoned about him.

In the last photograph you can see Himel arriving at the EPAR shelter; finally in safe hands and away from the cold, barren field where he lived for many days.

Serbia: A Special Appeal To Help ‘Visnja’s Veterinary Costs

serb00014

 

 

 

This is a special appeal to help ‘Visnja’.

 

Last Saturday, she was attacked by the two other dogs she was sharing an enclosure with at the shelter.

 

Her head and one of her ears were severely damaged.  The vet was immediately called an he stitched her head and her ear, but unfortunately, her body rejected the ear being re-stitched.

 

Today, 27/02, she has had to have the ear amputated, and the pictures below show her post surgery.  They look very graphic, but please remember her hair has been removed and the stitch wounds are very fresh.  In a very short time the fur will grow back, her injuries will heal and she will be as good as always.

If anyone can provide help with the veterinary costs for Visnja’s surgery then it would be most welcomed.  Information about donating can be found at the bottom of the following link:

 

https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2008/09/07/please-give-support-to-jelenas-shelter-now-thank-you/

 

Or maybe there is someone or a family out there who in the near future, when Visnja is better and fully recovered, may be able to offer her a loving and permanent home.

 

Please contact Jelena at the shelter palanski@EUnet.yu  if that person is you.

Please remember that these pictures are very recent and post surgery.  In a very short time, Visnja will be back to full strength and ready to find her permanent home.

Serbia: Animal Welfare Campaigners Make Formal Charge to State Public Attorney-General About CITES Documentation for Gypsy ‘Owned’ Bears Exported to Bulgaria

serb00013

 

This post is about a formal charge to the Public Attorney General of the State of Serbia, Belgrade, and also to the Ministerium of police of the State of Serbia, Belgrade.

 

These are part of proof  for  wild animals; Bears, and their export  from Serbia to Bulgaria.

 

Gypsies have been paid 1000 to 1500 Euros per bear.

 

The main question and issue is;

 

In order to get a CITES permit for export for an animal, it is only the owner of the animal that can do the application.  But in this case, the Gypsies who have the bears are NOT their legal owners.  We think that false claims and false information may have been provided to the Ministerium for Environment, Department  for CITES, in this case of Serbian bears exported to Bulgaria.

 

In order to be the ‘owner’ of these bears, the State of Serbia must have Court documentation, but they do not, and neither do the Gypsies who have been given money for them.

 

The ‘owner’ of  the 3 bears in this case is unknown, if there is even such a thing as an ‘owner’.  Bears are wild animals, part of the states natural environment.

 

Bears who do not have a formal registered owner cannot be exported, because the owner must put their own signature onto the CITES documentation.   In this case there are unknown owners.

 

The Ministry does not appear to care about the six bears at the ARKA Banostor shelter, but in this case of money and export, things appear to be a little ‘different’.

 

What has happened and who has been directly involved in order to obtain signatures on the CITES certificates to allow these bears to go to Bulgaria ?

 

Remember, Gypsies have been paid 1000 to 1500 Euros per bear.  Has anyone else had a share of this money to ensure that the CITES paperwork looks correct with all the necessary signatures by the ‘owner’ ?

 

Below are the formal copies of the charges made by Serbian animal welfare campaigners to the Public Attorney General of the State of Serbia, Belgrade, and also to the Ministerium of police of the State of Serbia, Belgrade.

Republičko javno tužilaštvo, Beograd   –   molimo vs da službenim putem prosledite mesno nadležnom javnom tužilaštvu ovaj dokazni materijal 25.2.2009.

 

Veza : predmet u Rep.javnom tuž. pod brojem ktr 1279/08

, u ojt Požarevac pod ktr 510/08 ,

nemamo podatke  u kojem  se još  tužilaštvu vodi i pod kojim brojem  isti  predmet koji se odnosi  na  dva medveda iz Kruševca

 

KUPO-PRODAJNI UGOVORI

 

Ugovori o kupovini-prodaji  medveda

 

U attachmentu Vam saljemo dva razlicita ugovora koji su sklopljeni izmedju Austrijske organizacije “Vier Pfoten” i nelegalnih vlasnika medveda – gospodina Zorana Lazarevica i gospodje Zorice Lazarevic. Na osnovu ovih ugovora je Vier Pfoten uspeo da dobije protivzakonitu CITES export dozvolu od Ministarstva zivotne sredine i prostornog planiranja, za odnosenje tri mrka medveda iz Srbije u Bugarsku ( u naucne svrhe).

Umesto ovih , tužilaštvu su dostavljeni  naknadno  pravljeni lažni Ugovori,  kojima se želi zataškati činjenica o  prodaji-kupovini , trgovini,  no kako u tom  naknadno  napravljenim ugovorima  strana koja  predaje  medveda ne dobija nista , nelogicno je da  ta fizicka lica koja su medveda koristila za sticanje prihoda i egzistenciju cele porodice   , sada   nekome  ustupaju  istog medveda ,bez bilo kakve koristi za sebe , a da pri tom  faktički nisu u  poziciji da besplatno poklanjaju svoj izvor prihoda .Stoga je logičan i realan svaki od ugovora kojim su u zamenu za medveda  lica koja su medveda predala- dobila po 1000  i 1500 eura- što  prestavlja   protivzakonitu trgovinu, a koje vam ( jedan smo vam  već ponovo dostavili) dostavljamo sada ponovo , jer  su se  izgleda , ovi ugovori pogubili iz košuljice predmeta –  barem  nije prisutan u  košuljici ktr 510/08  koja nam je u celosti dostavljena .

JAVNOSTI SRBIJE  NA   ZNANJE ,

pred usvajanje  Nacrta Zakona o dobrobiti životinja, čiji autori  smatraju da divlje  nisu životinje – što mnogo govori o specifičnoj težini  ovih autora .

U časopisu Caffe Vojvodina , februara 2009. piše  u članku sa naslovom BRINU O DIVLJAČI I ŽIVOTNOJ SREDINI  ,da  je u  Novim Kozarcima, kraj Kikinde , osnovan  Lorist hunting klub .

 

shunt11

 

Ispod nekoliko redova  teksta krcatog narcisoidnim licemerjem ,  uslikala  se   grupa  naoružanih  polupijanih civila , nekrofila  nepoznatog psihološkog profila , opasna  paravojna  formacija ,koja  je uverena da je osnivanjem  svog kluba , postala  kompetentni , stručni  zaštitnik prirode , uprkos kontradikciji koju  vrišteći nameće , svakom  oku  s normalnom umom ,  bizarnost slike   desetine  malih  bespomoćnih  ,osećajnih bića  koji  leže kao biseri ispred njihovih  smrdljivih nogu ,  koje su ovi  samozvani “naučnici”

“ladno pokokali ”  brinući o  njima  i o životnoj sredini –  na  “naučnoj bazi” .

 

shunt12

 

Perverzni civili  mekih falusa  , s neskladom izmedju libida i potencije ,delimično i zbog  hroničnog  viška alkohola u krvi , umesto da su u čekaonicama  dobrih psihijatara ,  planiraju  razmestiti  žive mete po našim šumama – pominju krupnu  “trofejnu” divljač  –  svoj  “naučni” način zaštite  životne sredine ,što znači  da  ova ubijanja više  nisu  sport nego  “nauka  i zaštita životne sredine” .

 

Da nije  leševa , ova  bi sprdačina  bila komična , ovako je sramotna .

Hitno  je potrebno razoružati paravojne  formacije koje  grubo bazaju  i gmižu  po našoj životnoj sredini ,kvareći  njen savršen sklad , pod lažnom parolom da  je štite.

 

Pogledajte visokoumne “naučničke” face , koje  naprosto zrače “produhovljenošću”,  te slonove u staklenoj radnji – oni imaju nabijene puške u rukama, opasni su, razoružajte ih , gospodo – prošlo je njihovo vreme.

“Svemu ima vreme i svakom poslu pod nebom ima vreme “, , oni su sramotni rudiment  ,  gnojavi čir na dupetu  civilizacije  trećeg milenijuma, potrebni su im : lečenje  i prekvalifikacija –  mogli bi da pletu čarape , da prave drvene suvenire , neguju seoski turizam , igraju šah  sa  unucima ili  decom, i  umesto   što  njihove dečje ruke umaču  u  tudju krv , morali bi ih naučiti , nakon što njih to neko nauči,  kako se poštuje tudji život ,jer je jednako važan  kao i njihov , bez obzira na  pripadnost vrsti ili “imovnu kartu” .

 

shunt14

 

Zašto bi Srbija  i dalje bila   skladište za  odlaganje opasnog otpada zapadne civilizacije – zašto bi perverzni tipovi dolazili pod  imenom:  lovni turisti  , iz Holandije  gde im  je zabranjeno da narušavaju  sklad prirode, da ga u Srbiji  plativši Radojici i Milojici  ruše  do mile volje.

Nema tih eura kojima se može platiti  očuvanje harmonije  biodiverziteta , u čijoj  nemerljivoj lepoti  imamo pravo pogledom svi uživati i niko  nema pravo  rušiti naše dostojanstvo , gazeći naše nacionalno blago .

 

Lovci , bez kluba i sa klubom, istrebili su  već mnoge životinjske vrste, organizuju  hajke  kojima  izbezumljuju i ubijaju i  to malo preostalih  , uVojvodini čak zakonom zaštićenih  vukova, izbezumljuju gradjane  čija prava time  grubo gaze , ubijaju im pse i mačke  na pragu njihovih kuća, a ubijaju nekada i  njih  ili se medjusobno obračunavaju , nekrofili  koji  prenose ovu “strast” za lešinama i na  svoju (?) decu .

 

Naše je ustavno pravo – a zakoni moraju  biti  u skladu s Ustavom , –  stvarno očuvanje , a ne puckaranje  po našoj životnoj sredini .

Kakav je to  turizam  u kojem  perverzni  frustrirani  Holandjanin -tkz. turista   dodje puckarati po našim šumama , jer  kod kuće  ne sme ni pomisliti na to , a ovde plati Radojici i Milojici , pa sme, jer Radojica i Milojica daju ušur  državi , koja  bi morala po Ustavu štititi  prava SVIH  gradjana  , a ne samo  ovih koji joj plate ušur , pa im onda ona  pokloni  šume da u njima pucaraju .Što ne sme  u svojoj , nastrani Holandjanin  ne bi smeo raditi ni u tudjoj kući , ma koliko platio Radojici i Milojici , jer  svi se pitamo – tako nalaže Ustav.

Prava i slobode  jednih   gradjana   Republike Srbije mogu biti ograničena samo istim pravima i slobodama svih drugih  gradjana , bez  snobovskih izuzetaka ,kao što je ovaj o kojem možete čitati  dole u pismu  kojim nam se obratio jedan od gradjana Srbije , čija su ustavna prava grubo zgažena  .

English:

 

In this article it is written that the hunters have produced their own club, and that they care about wild animals and  they are the protectors of nature.

 

Please see the photographs to decide if they ‘care’ about wild animals.

 

Does killing wildlife mean that you are a ‘protector of nature’ ? – doubt it.

 

When nature is left alone it looks after itself.

ENGLISH :

 

Here is proof of crimes,  we (EPAR) have brought charges against those persons who have done and who do these crime – fighting between different animal species. Some of  the wild animals involved are  from a group  which is protected under special law.

 

For these crime, the Criminal Code of Republic of Serbia demand up to 3 years in prison for everybody who is involved.

 

We insist to have the implementation of the Serbian Criminal Code and that all those involved in this must be punished; they must go to jail  – there is no excuse for those  who organise and undertake illegal animal fighting, because that is in direct opposition to Serbian law !


 

 

 

Serbia: ARKA Rehabilitation Centre ‘Banostor’ Shelter Bears Come Out of Hibernation to Give Their Weather Forecast

For Information: Banostor is a village in Serbia, near to Novi Sad City. 

These bears live in Serbia in the Rehabilitation Centre for Bears of ARKA Serbia.

 

Dear all,

Just to inform you that today, on 15th February when bears ( according to people believing ) are coming out from ther dens, to see if winter is over, our bears in Banostor also give their “weather forecast”.

 

According to their behaviour today we can say that winter will last 40 days more.

 

We really would like not to believe them, but from our experience they are quite good in this weather forecast !

 

Here are the photographs we took today.

 

bear22

bear3

Also, almost all Serbian TV, radio and electronic medias broadcast information that we had prepared for BETA agency, about weather forecast that six bears form Banostor gave yesterday.

 

The majority of  important daily newspapers printed articles about it too.

 

We have used this opportunity to incorporate in this information important facts and remind public that bears are confiscated from 1999, that Arka is taking care of them all in Banostor, that thanks to good treatment and proper feeding, the bears are hibernating etc..

 

This was very good response to latest public information about the export of the three bears to Bulgaria.

 

Some good people made slide show about this on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpVG5rzgIfs
