Serbia: Slavica Takes Action About Shelters and Strays In Municipalities.

Posted on June 26, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

We have had a couple of things in from Slavica, who is based in Subotica, Serbia.

Read more about Slavica at ‘About Us’ – https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/about-us/

Scroll down until you come to the section titled: Dr. Medicine Slavica Mazak Bešlić – Subotica, Serbian Republic

Slavica says:

First –

I ask for copies of documents about the city shelter condition and capacity at Novo Selo by Vrnjacka Banja . How many dogs/cats have been arriving during the last 3 years, what is the number of microchips given to the animals and where are they now. How much public money was given to provide for these animals, and where is the money now, because I had received information that shinters from Novo Selo travelled into in several municipalities of Southern Serbia catching dogs/cats; making dirty bllod money from doing business with several city authorities.

Now we wait to see what documentation they provide, if any.

Regards

Slavica

Second –

The Mayor of Subotica did not help to big shelter and Adrianna Nadj said to him
that he cannot finance 550 city dogs, and at the same time city shelter has
receive 7 million dinars for feeding 156 dogs for 2013 year.

Adrianna wrote that ALEX shelter needs help and she wrote the minimum of
finance which it is necessary, but to date the Mayor has not even bothered to respond to her.
That is why I now send to mayor and also to ombudsman :

official request for information of public interests : what they did do for protect Adrianna
and Dragan human rights and for protect the animals at ALEX shelter and also
what they did do against irresponsible owners and what they did do for
protect all pet animals. Or are they ignoring all the existing Serbian laws ?

Again here; we now wait and see what answers they provide, if any !
Thanks.

NESS – 18/6/14.

Posted on June 18, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

http://www.streuner-netzwerk.eu/index.php?lang=de

SERBIAN:

Dobro došli na NESS!

“Znanje je jedna od malobrojnih stvari koja se može deliti a da je ne ostane manje”

NESS je nezavisna neprofitna informativna i komunikaciona mreža čiji je cilj da omogući organizacijama, pojedincima i medijima da sarađuju jedni sa drugima na brz, iskren i efikasan način – kako bi se zaštita uličnih životinja u Evropi konačno učinila najefikasnijom što može biti.

Otkako je vlada Rumunije odobrila zakon koji legalizuje masovno ubijanje uličnih životinja u oktobru 2013, veliki broj ljudi se angažovao na spasavanju tih životinja – ne samo u Rumuniji nego širom Evrope. Ali mada je broj ljudi koji su se uključili u zaštitu uličnih životinja veći nego što je ikada bio, ništa se značajno dosad nije promenilo. Dan za danom hiljade pasa nastavljaju da pate u neopisivo jezivim uslovima u državnim azilima po Istočnoj i Južnoj Evropi. Dan za danom se stotine ovih nedužnih stvorenja ubijaju na najnemilosrdniji i najbrutalniji način. I dan za danom aktivnosti ne samo šintera koji hvataju pse nego i običnih ljudi postaju sve sadističkije, sve gnusnije i sa sve više prezira prema životu životinja.

Zahvaljujući velikom broju ljudi koji podržava pokret zaštite uličnih životinja i raznovrsnih oblasti koje oni predstavljaju (ljudi koji se aktivno zalažu za dobrobit životinja, veterinari, pravnici, političari) postoji realna šansa da se potpuno i konačno zaustavi stradanje uličnih životinja u Evropi. Ipak, da bi se to ostvarilo, neophodno je da se usvoje odgovarajući zakoni a dosad, nažalost, državni čelnici na to nisu reagovali ničim drugim do ignorisanjem.

Zbog toga, do održivog poboljšanja sudbine uličnih životinja u Evropi može doći samo povećavanjem pritiska na nadležne kako više ne bi mogli da ignorišu očajnu situaciju životinja. Ipak, prošlost je pokazala da se to jednostavno ne može postići pojedinačnim akcijama. Umesto toga, postalo je neophodno da sve oblasti pokreta zaštite uličnih životinja odmah počnu da komuniciraju i sarađuju međusobno! To je jedini način da pokret zaštite uličnih životinja dobije dovoljno snage da konačno natera nadležne da se aktiviraju!

VEĆ NAS IMA DOVOLJNO DA NAPRAVIMO PROMENU! SADA MORAMO DA RADIMO NA TOME ZAJEDNO!

Pozivamo sve koji su aktivni u pokretu zaštite uličnih životinja – pojedince, grupe i nevladine organizacije – da se pridruže ovoj mreži i zajedno bore da se prekine patnja uličnih životinja!

ENGLISH:

Welcome to NESS

“Knowledge is one of the few things which you can share without having less of it afterwards.”

NESS is an independent non-profit information and communication network which aims at enabling organisations, individuals and the media to cooperate with each other in a quick, straightforward and efficient way – in order to finally make the protection of European strays as effective as possible.

Since the Romanian government passed the law legalizing the mass killing of stray dogs in October 2013, a huge number of people have become active in order to save these animals – not only those in Romania but all over Europe. But even though the number of people who have joined the stray animal protection movement is unprecedented in Animal Welfare – no significant changes could be achieved so far. Day by day thousands of dogs continue to suffer under indescribable circumstances in the killing stations of eastern and southern Europe. Day by day hundreds of these innocent creatures get killed in the most brutal and merciless way. And day by day the actions of the communal dog catchers as well as of common civilians seem to become more sadistic, more detestable and more contemptuous of life.

Due to the great number of people who support the stray protection movement and the manifold areas which they represent (members of active animal welfare, vets, lawyers, politicians) a real chance to end the suffering of European strays comprehensively and ultimately has finally come to life. However, the ultimate necessity for this is the passing of accordant laws. Unfortunately, so far all the politicians in charge have reacted with nothing but ignorance.

Thus, a sustainable improvement for the fate of Europe’s strays can only be made by increasing the pressure to act onto those in charge, so that they are no longer capable of ignoring the animals’ desperate situation. However, the past has shown that this simply cannot be achieved by singular actions. Instead it has become highly necessary for all areas of the stray protection movement to enter into communication and cooperation with each other immediately! This is the only way to award enough force to the stray protection movement to finally get those in charge to act!

THERE ARE ALREADY ENOUGH OF US TO MAKE A CHANGE!

NOW WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION – TOGETHER!

We kindly invite everyone active in the stray protection movement – individuals, groups and NGOs – to join this network and fight together in order to put an end to the suffering of Europe’s strays!

Serbia: Further Update 17/5 – Donations Required to Move Dogs to Higher, Safer Ground Which Has Been Found – Can You Give to Help Their Safe Relocation ? – Please !

Posted on May 17, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Further Update – 17/5/2014 – Funds Needed to get dogs to higher, safer ground. Please help.

Marie Heaton-Wright

***URGENT FUNDS NEEDED*

*EMERGENCY

One of our kennels is cut off by the flood waters. Civil protection has started and the military are evacuating all people from the area.

Animals are not allowed on the helicopters or boats for evacuation.

Our kennel owners family have already been evacuated.

Our kennel owner is refusing to leave the dogs, but will be forcibly removed very soon.

The dogs will be left alone to perish in the floods.

She is preparing food for them in case the worst happens before we find a solution.

We have found high ground with fencing and are trying to arrange an evacuation, but will need funds for preparing the area (fence repairs and temporary shelter for the dogs) and to move the dogs (we are trying to find a way to access the kennels which is now cut off via road).

Please help us save these dogs. These dogs were rescued from the Pozega horror shelter and have been in our care for up to a year. These are our dogs who we have supported for months and months.

Some already have homes waiting for them. We cannot let them die like this.

Every penny helps.

As soon as we have more details of costs and plan we will update this fundraiser, but needed to launch it now so we have funds in place as soon as they are needed.

Thank you for your support.

Serbia: Flood Update 17/5 – Water May Have Diverted And Save Dogs From Death – Unconfirmed. Still No Contact With Serbia.

Posted on May 17, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Update – 17/5/2014

We have just had the following message from Marie, here in the UK. We can only hope that the water has diverted before reaching the pound. Thank you for the comments that have been left.

The situation is still that we cannot contact anyone in Serbia to get a better view of the situation, but we are thinking ahead now to what actions we can take re the future and the fact that the authorities abandoned the dogs even when there were people prepared to help and save them.

Marie writes the following: Marie Heaton-Wright It sounds like the floods have caused a channel (broken embankments maybe), so some of the water around the Pozega pound has diverted from the kennels. So we are praying some of the dogs have been spared.

We know some have died, but unfortunately disease is also rife in Nas Dom at the moment (parvovirus and distemper).

Our volunteers are trying their best to gain access to rescue the dogs xx

Serbia: 16/5/2014: Huge Floods Are Taking Lives Of Dogs at Pozega Pound. Authorities Refusing To Let Activists In To Rescue Doge. For More See Facebook Link Provided.

Posted on May 16, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

16/5/2014: We are currently having no contact with our Serbian campaigners.

Information and news is very limited.

Urgent message from Marie – see facebook page below.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/HelpPozegaDogs/

The Pozega pound, Nas Dom, Serbia is flooded. The dogs inside are trapped in their cages and on chains.

They are drowning.

Volunteers are being denied access, the pound will not allow them to evacuate the dogs. They tried to rescue them and were prevented by security.

The dogs will die.

This is the Pozega horror shelter, if you would like more information or to support volunteers please visit our group:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/HelpPozegaDogs/

We are contacting the Serbian authorities, though it will be too late by then. We are praying the floods don’t reach our rescue kennels, but at least our dogs will get any and all help we can give them, unlike those poor innocent souls drowning in Nas Dom tonight, RIP little ones.

Storm floods Balkans, Serbia declares emergency

A massive storm has dumped record rainfalls on the Balkans, causing severe flooding, especially in Serbia, and parts of Bosnia. Schools have been closed in Serbia, where several people have drowned. Croatia is on alert.

Serbian declared a nationwide flood emergency on Thursday and asked the EU and Russia for help. Entire towns were cut off. The slow-moving cyclone is forecast to persist until the weekend.

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said his country was facing its “biggest water catastrophe in Serbia’s history.”

Meteorologists forecast that more than double Serbia’s average rainfall for the whole of May was expected to fall within just two-and-a-half days until Friday noon.

Across Serbia, 100,000 households were without electricity. Dozens of cars and buses were stranded along flooded roads.

Schools in the Serbian capital were closed for Thursday and Friday. Major traffic routes, such as the E-75 Belgrade-Skopje highway, were submerged. Serbia’s rail link to Montenegro was severed.

Waters are rising everywhere,” said Serbian emergency official Predrag Maric. “We have engaged all our manpower.”

At least three people were killed in Serbia, including a resident near Belgrade whom firefighters said had drowned after she refused to be evacuated.

Serbian media said at least two more people had been reported missing.

High-profile societ and basketball sporting events were postponed.

Storm also grips Bosnia, Croatia

In Bosnia, to the west, bridges were swept away by swollen rivers. The central Bosnian town of Topcic Polje, near Zenica, was bisected by landslides and raging waters (pictured).

Some residents of Maglaj, 100 kilometers (60 miles) north of Bosnia’s capital, sat on roofs.

Its mayor Mehmed Mustabasic said the town was “cut off from the rest of the world.”

“We have no electricity; the phones are not working,” he said.

The Sarajevo government ordered the deployment of army helicopters for evacuations. EU troops in Bosnia joined rescue efforts.

Croatia also affected

High winds reaching 150 kilometers per hour forced the closure of sections of Croatia’s Adriatic coastal highway.

Thousands of Croatian households have also been without power since Wednesday.

Croatia’s meteorological service issued a “red alert,” saying winds were powerful enough to carry debris at deadly speed.

Slovenia was also on alert because of predicted high winds.

The storm, a slow-moving cyclone, bringing sharp drops in temperature, is expected to drift to the east over the Balkans and then south to the eastern Mediterranean by the weekend.

Europe dams its last wild rivers

Europe intends to slice through its last wild rivers with a series of dams. The new hydropower stations will deliver much-needed power to the region, but may also change the face of the Balkans forever. (07.04.2014)
