Serbia: 16/12/11. Latest News and Pictures From Cat Shelter ‘Felix’, Belgrade. Can You Help the Cats This Christmas ?

Posted on December 16, 2011 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Website:   http://novisadcats.blogspot.com/

A Christmas message from Danica Mirkovic, President of Felinologic Association Felix and the owner of Cat Shelter Felix.

Please try and make a special effort this month by either giving a donation or by an adoption of one or more of the cats – full details below.

Danica has kindly sent us some latest photos of the cats at Shelter Felix; enjoy them.

The message from Danica is as follows:

Felix cats need your help! There are several ways to support almost 100 kitties from a private, no-kill, cage-free cat shelter in Serbia. Make a difference today!

If you care about Felix kitties, please consider donating as much as you can. The situation is difficult right now. Gas bills are mounting although the real cold weather hasn’t even begun.  Last year, I took a loan to pay for the heating system and when it was finished I thought that my kitties’ health problems were over. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a solid fuel storage and the fuel itself was nowhere to be bought. I couldn’t keep the fire going all night, more than 30 cats were sick and the most sensitive ones didn’t survive. It was necessary to install gas heating system which is much more efficient but it is not paid off yet.

Every cat lover knows cats are heat – seekers. Most of my kitties barely go outside these days, they all prefer to sit on radiators. Their rooms are comfortable and cozy and seeing them enjoying their time makes my heart sing. And I hope you can recognize this feeling, because I cannot cover all expenses without help of caring, benevolent people like you.

Winter is very harsh here, with lots of strong, icy cold and bitter winds. The outside night temperature was -13° C already and I fear that the worst is yet to come. I remember that last year’s lowest temperature reached 27° degrees below zero. Considering that I have almost 15 chronically ill kitties, and 25 older than 15 years, it’s essential to keep them warm. Please, help my kitties make it through the cold months. We can’t let them down now, can we?

Me and my kitties have always been grateful for your unselfish support and are now, more than ever. Every donation counts! If you decide to help us, please use the PayPal button on my blog: http://novisadcats.blogspot.com/

If you’d rather virtually adopt one (or more) of Felix kitties, you can find their photos in my albums Cats for virtual adoption on my care2 and FB profiles. All Felix cats need nutritious food and quality medical care. For 30 $ per month you can sponsor a kitty you choose (each cat can have multiple sponsors) and I’ll send you all the information about and photos of “your” kitty on a regular basis. When you sponsor a cat, your donations are used to help all cats in my care.

You can also buy those beautiful flairs to support my kitties.

Uk (England): FRIEND Farm Animal Shelter – Kent; Home of SAV.

Posted on October 25, 2011 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

 

http://www.friendsanimalrescue.org.uk/

F.R.I.E.N.D. was established in the early 90’s to give a permanent home to abused, unwanted and orphaned farmed animals, so they can live peacefully for the rest of their lives. We currently look after about 150 animals. Pigs, cows, geese, goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys, dogs, cats, ferrets and a horse are enjoying as natural a life as we can offer, given that we live in the heart of the Kent countryside, and they are permitted to run freely and communally over the 10 acre site.

FRIEND is located in Kent county, England, which is the home location of ‘Serbian Animals Voice’ also.

 Dear Romanian officials and media,

Stimati oficiali romani si media romana

The international community is outraged by the conditions in which the stray dogs in your city are kept in the city’s pound. It is  so inhumane that we come to believe that only in a Middle Age country such horrors can be possible. Unfortunately, for far too long time, Romania has presented to  entire world  a very ugly image about the way animals are treated.

Comunitatea internationala este oripilata de conditiile in care cainii fara stapan sunt tinuti in adapostul orasului. Sunt atat de inumane, incat s-ar putea crede ca  apartin unei tari din Evul Mediu. Din pacata, de foarta multa vreme Romania prezinta lumii o imagine foarte urata despre felul cum sunt tratate animalele.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq3kn5XU3Hw&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D8wm0PhvJA&feature=related

It has come to our attention that the local authorities have allowed only very limited ACCESS to the dogs in the shelter to the local association for the protection of animals (Fundatia pentru protectia animalelor FAFNER Radauti), and this is UNACCEPTABLE. Please take all the necessary measure to let everybody who wants to help the animal to do so, all day long.. It is ONLY IN ROMANIA that cities pounds are locked, which raises the concern that HORRIBLE CRIMES against the animals are committed in there and the authorities cover them up. This is OUTRAGEOUS. Anybody willing to help the animals MUST BE ALLOWED to do so. The access to the city pound should be from 9 to 5  every working day…because it is a public service.

Am aflat ca autoritatile locale au redus accesul in adapost membrilor asociatiei pentru protectia animalelor din localitate  (Fundatia pentru protectia animalelor FAFNER Radauti) si acest lucru este INACEPTABIL. Va rugam sa luati toate masurile mecesare sa lasati oamenii care vor sa ajute animalele sa intre in adapost, pe parcursul intregii zi. NUMAI IN ROMANIA adaposturile de stat sunt INCUIATE, accesul interzis, ceea ce ne face sa credem ca se comit crime odioase acolo iar autoritatile locale fac tot ce le sat in putinta sa tina acest lucru secret. ESTE DE NECONCEPUT aceasta atitudine. Oricine doreste sa ajute animale trebuie sa fie liber s-o faca. Accesul la adapostul public trebuie sa fie de la 9 la 5 conform orarelor tuturor serviciilor publice.

Please take a look in this album , and ask your selves if this is normal, humane or civilized ? Please take all the necessary measure to CLOSE this death camp immediately and let those animals live their lives in peace. Please STOP THIS HORROR, and punish all those responsible for these INCREDIBLE ACTS OF CRUELTY against animals, no matter who they are, including Mr. Mayor Aurel Olarean…

Va rugam sa priviti fotografiile din acest album, facute in adapostul din Radauti, si sa va intrebati daca aceste conditii  vi se par normale, civilizate, sau umane. va rugam sa luati de urgenta toate masurile necesare sa INCHIDETI IMEDIAT acest lagar al mortii, si sa lasati animalele sa-si traiasca viata in pace. va guram sa puneti capat acestei ORORI si sa pedepsiti pe toti cei responsabili de asemenea acte de INCREDIBILA CRUZIME fata de animale, inclusiv Dl.Primar Aurel Olareanu .

We are aware if the fact that the mayor, Mr. Olarean and his veterinarian technician Angelica Olenici, claim that these photos are edited…what else can they say ? Please call an expert and see ….they try to cover up the horror…..

Stim ca domnul primar Olarean si asistenta veterinara de la adapost sustin ca aceste fotografii au fost editate….ce altceva ar putea zice dansii / Chemati un expert, dansii vor sa iasa basma curata din aceasta situatie de groaza.

http://www.realitatea.net/situatia-de-la-adapostul-din-radauti-in-care-cainii-se-mancau-intre-ei-pe-cale-sa-se-rezolve_876855.html

We are very well aware that many complains have been made regarding this horrible place,, mothers and puppies are crowded with adult dogs, puppies, sick, dead and partially eaten animals are kept together in a despicable filth, yet NOTHING HAVE CHANGED.  Romania has become notorious all over the world, not only in the EU for the barbaric way animals are treated, for the mass killings of hundreds of thousands of innocent animals, for the unwillingness to apply her own laws, let alone the international conventions and treaties about animal well fare.  Romania has become a shame for the EU and many people from around the world are asking for sanctions against Romania in this matter. 

Stim ca s-au facut nenumarate rapoarte despre acest loc ORIBIL, unde  femele cu pui sunt tinute cu masculi adulti, animale bolnave, moarte sau  jumatati de cadavre zac in cea mai mare mizerie imaginabile, si NIMIC NU S-A SCHIMBAT.  Romania a devenit notorie, nu numai in UE dar in intreaga lumea, f pentru felul barbaric in care sunt tratate animalele, pentru masacrarea a sute de mii de animale nevinovate, pentru incalcarea propriilor ei legi, ca sa nu mai amintim de conventiile si tratatele internationale referitoare la bunastarea animalelor. Romania a devenit rusinea UE si  oameni din intreaga lume cer sanctionarea Romaniei  de cetre UE din aceste motive. 

Until the outrageous situation in the city pound of Radauti will be solved and those guilty of all the atrocious crimes committed against the animals bill be punished ,until the members of the “Fafner” foundation will have access to all the activities regarding the strays ( as the Romanian law stipulates ) until the public will have full access during business hours – because the shelter  has to have the same accessibility as any other PUBLIC SERVICES paid from public money – OR until this death camp will be closed , OR until you will accept all the help which might be offered to those dogs, until you accept  to give each and every dogs the chance to find an adoptive family…until you will treat all sentient beings with respect for LIFE….we reserve the right to show to the entire world these images and to boycott Romania.

Pana cand nu se vor lua masuri de remediere a acestei situati infioratoare, si cei vinovati de atrocitatile din adapostul din Radauti nu vor fi pedepsiti, pana cand membrii Fundatiei Fafner nu vor avea access  la toate actiunile privind cainii comunitari – conform legii in vigoare in Romania – pana cand publicul nu va avea acces la adapost care apartine de servicii publice, finantate din bani publici, SAU pana cand acest lagar al mortii nu va fi inchis ,sau pana cand nu veti accepta orice ajutor care va fi oferit acestor animale nevinovate, pana cand nu veti accepta ca toti cateii sa aiba sansa de a gasi familii adoptive, pana cand nu veti trata toate fiintele cu respect pentru VIATA care o poarta in ele…ne rezervam dreptul sa difuzam in toata lumea aceste imagini, si sa boicotam Romania. 

Please put  an end to this HORROR , and become more humane and civilized.

Va rugam sa inchideti aceasta OROARE si sa deveniti mai umani si mai civilizati

Thank you for your attention

Multumim pentru atentie

Serbia: ‘Felix’ Cat Shelter – A Request For Financial Help Please – Can You Give A Donation ? – Full Details Below.

Posted on September 30, 2011 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Felix Cat Shelter – Serbia

A request – Please, Can you help with a donation ?

Today (30/9/110 at SAV we have had a mail from Danica, who runs the Felix Cat Shelter in Serbia.

Danica has sent the following message.  Please help by giving a donation if you possibly can. 

The photographs are of some of the cats currently living at Felix shelter.

So  Danica; we are trying to help you on our site, with the hope that some good visitors may be able to give you a donation.

Regards from your animal friends at SAV, Kent, England.

Thank you – SAV.

Original Message:

Will you please inform me is there any way I can post on your site?

My name is Danica Mirkovic and I run ‘Felix’ Cat Shelter in Serbia. ‘

When Etela’s shelter in Backa Topola, Serbia,  was destroyed by the fire, I took more than 20 of her cats and they’re with me still. I’d like to post some information about them (with recent photos) and the rest of my cats (I have about 100 of them right now) and to ask for help.

It’s almost impossible for one person to defray all their expenses. I didn’t mean to make a site, just to log in here, but evidently this is not how it works.

 I do have a blog, though: http://novisadcats.blogspot.com/

I hope that you’ll contact me soon. My best regards, Danica Mirkovic

Email: felix.shelter@gmail.com

Romania: Dogs Left to Starve in the City Pound of Botosani – Sample Letter to Send – Please Act Now.

Posted on September 1, 2011 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Dogs left to starve in the city’s pound of Botosani

Please click on the following link to gain additional video footage:

http://legalaction4animalrights.net/2011/09/01/dogs-left-to-starve-in-the-citys-pound-of-botosani/  

In May this year were over 200 dogs killed in one night at this municipal enclosure. People protested in Romania and all over Europe and the mayor promised to repent.

Now, the municipal mayor and the shelter manager instead let the dogs starve and die. Abandoned and neglected.

What about, the area of ethic, morality and animal laws?

They are starving for at least two weeks, the guards have confirmed that nobody brought them food. From the photos one can see that even the feces are no where on the ground, not that anybody cleaned. These dogs are just a bag of bones and can barely stand.

They have been brought in from the streets healthy and playful. Now they are dying.

The puppies are placed in a death box, where the Parvo virus is still present, because this virus disappears only after 6 months and is resistant to the common disinfection. Not that is has ever been done any disinfection.

Some die, some are brought in this continuous circuit of death. Once there the little ones die in maximum one week due to the diarrhoea, vomiting and dehidratation.

They are not fed at all, why for, if they will eventually die anyway. Any puppy arrived there, even if adopted later on, extremely weak, not vaccinated, will die despite all the efforts put in place to save them.

They are starving for at least two weeks, the guards have confirmed that nobody brought them food. From the photos one can see that even the feces are no where on the ground, not that anybody cleaned. These dogs are just a bag of bones and can barely stand.

Please take action!

Email to send —->  SAMPLE LETTER

SUBJECT : Please stop the torture of stray dogs in the city’s shelter in Botosani

Dear sirs,

I am sending you this protest letter, because I have had enough with the obvious unwillingness of Romanian authorities to solve the problem of strays overpopulation in a civilized, humane manner, as recommended by the European Convention, The World Health Organization as well as major international organizations for animal welfare and protection.

What has surfaced again from the city of BOTOSANI, about the way stray dogs are held in the city’s pound without FOOD and WATER for weeks, about the fact that the pound is LOCKED all the time, people who would like to go and visit and adopt need written approval, the fact that the local animal protection association (ADOR) and volunteers who want to help those poor innocent animals are denied access, the photos of STARVING animals and over crowded kennels, is one more example of the barbaric way Romania treats animals and of the fact that Romanian elected officials and authorities (DVS, POLICE) supposed to implement the laws of the land, show a total disregard towards them and total indifference about the image Romania has in the world now.

We know what happens in Romania – do you?  

http://www.esdaw.eu/we-need-you/urgent-act!/botosani-urgent!-3755267  http://www.esdaw.eu/

People from around the world are outraged by the attitude of the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Sanitary-Veterinary county officials, Botosani Police with regard to this DEATH CAMP which is the city pound.

Yet, the same officials continue to pay from the public money, salaries to dog catchers, care takers, and probably a veterinarian who can’t wait to find a new reason to “euthanise” hundreds of animals again.

We are determined to protest to the EU Parliament and to ask that sanctions will be imposed on Romania for the way animals are treated, for the fact that international Conventions and recommendations are not followed by Romanian authorities and for the fact that even Romanian laws in force are not applied.

We did not forget the horrible mass killing of 230 dogs in just a couple of hours in May 2011.

Please take all the necessary measure to close this death camp which is the city pound of Botosani, once and for all, and to collaborate with Romanian and International Animal Protection associations who are more than willing to help the stray dogs in your town and county.

Please start a mandatory sterilization campaign in your town and county as soon as possible and show the world that Romanians are still capable of compassion and able to solve the problem of strays overpopulation in a humane and civilized manner as expected from a civilized country, member of the EU in the 21st century.

Please allow access to the city’s pound to anybody willing to visit, every day, like in all civilized countries in the world, and please let those who really love and care for the animals to take care of those poor victims of such a barbaric mentality.

Thank you very much.

Romania: **INTERNATIONAL Short Mails Required Please Urgently** – The Mayor in the city of Iasi (Romanian’s 2nd largest city after Bucharest) who up until now has been committed towards CNR has started to bow to the concerns of a few narrow-minded individuals who want the dogs off the streets ‘now’ no matter how it’s done!! – Killing could start anytime. Please Help and Take INTERNATIONAL Action to Stop.

Posted on June 22, 2011 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Chrissy at Romania Animal Aid here in the Uk has asked for some help – Urgently.

Please do what you can to write regarding this situation.  The link provides more information and e mail details of persons to contact.

Please try to act urgently about this – as Chrissy says:

“The city shelter simply does not have the capacity to take them all in given the size of Iasi and so within days will be totally over-whelmed.  From there the killings will no doubt start!”

Full details in the link provided.

Thanks – SAV and Chrissy.

PLEASE CROSSPOST.  PLEASE CROSSPOST.

Essentially the Mayor in the city of Iasi (Romanian’s 2nd largest city after Bucharest) who up until now has been committed towards CNR programs and has been very receptive to our efforts to ‘top’ this up by funding 50 spays per month (my own charity RAA and the American charity RAR co-sponsor this), has started to bow to the concerns of a few narrow-minded individuals who want the dogs off the streets ‘now’ no matter how it’s done!!

Given his position and with the politics of the situation ever mindful (i.e. he wants to appease his voters) he has now ordered the round up of as many strays as possible to be taken to the city shelter.  The city shelter simply does not have the capacity to take them all in given the size of Iasi and so within days will be totally over-whelmed.  From there the killings will no doubt start!

This Mayor has been very cooperative until now and we need people to politely urge him to continue down the path of CNR as this is the only way to effectively and humanely manage the problem in the long-term.

Residents of Iasi especially are being asked to email/call the mayor and our coordinator in the city (Lelia) is hoping to meet the press at the city shelter tomorrow to highlight the situation further but if people across Europe could for now urgently email those listed on the link appealing to them not to be persuaded away from CNR we’d be very very grateful.

IASI ACTION ALERT –

WE HAVE TO GET THE MAYOR BACK ONTO OUR SIDE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

***IASI ACTION ALERT***

POLITELY URGE THE MAYOR NOT TO DESTROY THE GOOD WORK HE HAS DONE IN HIS MUNICIPALITY BY DISCONTINUING THE CATCH,NEUTER & RELEASE PROGRAMMES

Today it has been learnt that because of a few complaints by misinformed and biggoted people within his community that the Mayor of Iasi Mr Ghe Nichita, is not only going to discontinue working with NGO’s such as Romania Animal Aid and Romanian Action but has already started to allow neuterd and spayed dogs to be dragged into the local shelter. Also that he is because of a few backward thinking local people is considering euthanising the strays in Iasi including those on the streets currently and also in the city shelter. 

Now is the time that we all need to be contacting the mayor . The main points I have highlighted in bold, please do write your own correspondence around these points, but also add your own. Remember, with this guy, be very polite and applaud his efforts and sucess in the past with the catch neuter and release programmes he committed himself and his city to.

This guy is not yet our enemy, please dont make him one Polite,firm and commend him for his efforts so far, but remind him of the horrific mistakes made in the past before he committed himself and his city to the catch,neuter and release programmes.

Strongly urging him to stay committed to his spay/neuter and return efforts, this is the only proven long-term solution to effectively manage the over-population problem.  Every expert in the subject of stray dog management adheres to this, and it was surely because of his intelligence and forward thinking in understanding this that he committed his municipality to such programmes.

Remind him that a rushed decision based upon a handful of backward thinking individuals could potentially be a landmine of problems in the future. Not only in regards to his and his provinces public image locally and nationally, but also on an international level. 

Remind him what affect the Mayor of Botosani had on Romanias public and international image when he made a similar decision last month, ask him why he would even think of making again the mistakes of the past and cave in to a few uneducated and biased inidviduals who know no different. If he was to start euthanising the shelter and street dogs, this would not only be inhumane but would reflect extremely badly on his city in the eyes of the majority of his citizens and also the International community in general.

Email address and contacts, we need to act now, this is urgent:

gheorghe.nichita@primaria-iasi.ro ; dirtehnic@primaria-iasi.ro ; ion.apostol@salubris.ro ; office@salubris.ro

Telephone Numbers:
The Mayor – 0040723399887
Director of Salubris (dogpound) – 0040729292809

If you live in Romania, especially in Iasi, the mayor really needs to hear from you, he needs to hear the majority of citizens in his city are against euthanasia and support the catch ,neuter and release programmes instead.
