Serbia: Backa Topola – Donations Can Be Made Directly To The French Organisation ‘Respectons’ Who Are Working At The Facility. Donation Links Provided In The Following Post.

Posted on April 11, 2011 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Here (11/04/11) is the latest regarding Backa Topola. The French organisation ‘Respectons’ is providing help and support for the animals from BT. If you wish to donate money to the BT campaign to help the animals, then this would be a very good route to take.

It would seem that Paypal CAN be used on the Respectons site.

Financial donations can be made directly to Respectons as an alternative way of giving money.

Please click on ‘Faire un don’ on their website (http://www.respectons.org/) to make a donation.

———————————————

The following is a message from Zlata at ‘Help Animals’ in Belgrade:

I just want to inform you, that the French organisation http://www.respectons.org/ contacted me and they want to take 30-50 dogs from Backa Topola.

Help Animals has been cooperating with this organisation for years and we have had some joint actions.

They also finance “Oaza”, shelter for dogs in Belgrade. The dogs will be placed in this shelter, where they will be prepared for fostering in some EU countries. They also work with the Foundation BB.

They need help in preparing these dogs to be transported, for example Titer antibodies.

It would be nice to support this action.

Here is a contact address maya.alfirev@gmail.com

If they succeed in fostering the first group of dogs, then they would continue to take the dogs from Backa Topola.

Kind regards,
Help animals

Serbia: Backa Topola Shelter – 01/04/11 Update – Donation Info Is Very Limited Despite Many International Supporters Wishing to Help With Finances.

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

As of 01/04/11, we are unable to provide any information regarding donations to help the shelter animals -especially the dogs. We do have some info regarding the cats from the shelter. Despite attempts to follow up and find a suitable donation route all of this week from Serbian campaigners, we have been unable.

THERE IS NO SAV BANK ACCOUNT INTO WHICH DONATIONS CAN BE GIVEN.

AS WE ARE BASED IN ENGLAND, UK, BANK CHARGES (COSTS) FOR INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OFTEN OUTWEIGH THE AMOUNT OF THE DONATION IN THE FIRST PLACE. We always request that any international donations to be given directly to animal groups in Serbia to avoid these extra transfer costs.

The only info we have is from ‘Help Animals’ in Belgrade, who have taken all but one of the surviving cats from the shelter. Attempts are being made to find the last cat.

If anyone wishes to provide a donation to ‘Help Animals’, which is for the care of the cats they now have from the shelter, then please use the following link for further details:

http://www.helpanimals.org.rs/index.php/action/index/eng/15/How_to_Help_-_Donation

The ‘Help Animals’ site can be viewed at: http://www.helpanimals.org.rs/index.php/action/index/eng/19/Home

If we do get any info in the future regarding where donations for the dogs can be made, we will be publishing it. At the moment, despite trying to obtain info for most of this week, we have not been given any accurate information.

We thank everyone who has already attempted / is prepared to make a donation for the animals at Backa Topola. The situation is very much out of our control and is fully in the hands of organisations who are working directly on site in Serbia. When they provide us with donation information, we will issue it on this site.

With the help of ‘Help Animals’, will attempt to outline the current situation:

“Help Animals” in Belgrade sends the following information:

“On the other hand, cats were in the worst situation in Backa Topola. Much more then dogs, so I decided to take all of them. Around 30 cats got killed by fire some time ago! Yesterday we found 3 more dead cats killed by dogs, and we took 18 cats. Before that we have already taken
9 cats. Totally that is 27 cats! “

Partly they are right now in shelter Jessica, Belgrade (Help Animals) and shelter”Felix”Vojvodina, but we have to provide them food and veterinarian. There is just one he-cat left in
Backa Topola. All of that action overtaking cats was watched by a vet. inspector and
soon we will get official report”.“As we know there is one French Animal protection Association which
provides food and also pay people from Backa Topola to deliver it to the
animals. I’ll let you know contact with French Association. And the best way
is to send them donations, because they come to Serbia and they already have
contact in Serbia”.—————————————-

“Yesterday we saw on site the dogs have a plenty of food. In the morning
people come and deliver food to them and leave. The animals are alone all
day long. During the next week the French Association will come to talk with
Mayer of Backa Topola. Right now, there are a lot of Serbian protection
animal associations gathered around the shelter in Backa Topola. They want
to gather donations, food and money, but there is not any organization and
there is, I have to say, chaos”.

“We can take help and donations for those cats because they are right now
with us. We also have around 400 animals, dogs and cats as well in our
shelter “Riska”.

Prenosimo poruku koju smo dobili iz Backe Topole…

Postovana gospodo,

Obraćam vam se kao najuticajnijoj organizaciji u Srbiji i retkoj koja sme, hoće i može da izazove reakciju i promene.

Nakon napisa o tragediji u azilu za životinje kod Bačke Topole, moji studenti i ja smo sakupili hranu za životinje i danas se zaputili do azila da je predamo. Nakon umirujućih izjava rukovodstva Bačke Topole o preuzetoj brizi nad azilom i donacije Pokrajine, očekivali smo da ćemo imati kome da je predamo.

Umesto toga, sačekao nas je stravičan prizor. U azilu, niti bilo gde u njegovoj blizini, nije bilo nikoga ko bi brinuo o stotinama napuštenih životinja., odraslih i sasvim malenih kučića, koji su, kroz žičanu ogradu pokušavali da sisaju prste na ruci.

Sem kiše koja je napunila nekoliko lokvi u blatnjavom dvorištu, životinje uopšte nisu imale vode.

Jedan prilaz azilu je nedavno preoran, pa smo par kilometara vozili preko strnjišta kukuruzišta.

Nikakvih znakova da je neko dolazio da o njima brine nije bilo.

Dvorište je ispregrađivano žicom, hranu smo im davali preko žičane ograde i kroz nju. Do kučića zatvorenih u žicu u unutrašnjem delu dvorišta nismo mogli niti dobaciti.

Sva je prilika da su ostavljeni tamo da umru, dovoljno udaljeni od bilo koga ko bi ih čuo kako umiru dugo, bolno i cvileći, grizući jedni druge.

Dobronamernim ljudima je teško do tamo stići, zbog preoranog prtenog puta (neko je požurio da spoji dve njive).

Oni su sami i polako umiru usred njiva.

U prilogu vam saljem fotografije i snimak, snimljene mobilnim telefonom danas.

U ime čovečnosti, molim vas da ovo objavite.

Sa poštovanjem,

Prof Dr Tamara Galonja Coghill

English Translation:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I address you as members of the most influential organization in Serbia and the one that can influence action and initiate change.

After publicity about tragedy that has happened in shelter near Backa Topola, my students and I prepared food for the animals and today we went there with intention to donate it to the people who are looking after them. After calming words from Municipality officials from Backa Topola about care for the shelter and funds from the council that are made available for the cause, we were expecting that we will be able to meet someone and deliver the food.

Instead, we were witnesses of the most disturbing experience. In the shelter or anywhere near in its vicinity there was no one to take care of hundreds neglected animals, older dogs and very small puppies, which were so hungry that they have tried to use our fingers as replacement for mother. Apart from few naturally formed shallow and muddy ponds filled with rain water, there was no water for the animals.

One access road that leads to shelter was destroyed so we had to go around the fields to get there. There was no sign that someone was there of looking after them at all.

All of the court was separated with wire, so we had to feed them above or through it. We could not reach the dogs in the centre of the courtyard.

The way this looks as if they have been left to die there purposly, far away from anyone to hear their cries, they are in pain and fighting each other.

It has been made very difficult to reach the site for the people that wish toi help – as if somebody was in rush to join two agricultural parcels for private gain.

They are alone and they are dying slowly in the middle of the fields.

I attach photographs and video taken with the mobile phone.

In a name of humanity I plead that you publish this.

Yours Sincerely

Prof……

Serbia: Update – Save Etelas Dogs

Posted on March 21, 2011 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

http://dankasanimals.chipin.com/saving-etelas-dogs-after-her-death

Ksenija Stankovic

Rezime danasnjeg dana je za plakanje – sto nam je i doslo da radimo u jednom momentu. Vecina stenaca je poumirala. Ostalima je data terapija, ali kako ce se sa tim nastaviti, to cemo videti. Zaklani psi, uginuli psi, opet. Spakovali smo ponovo odredjen broj pasa i tri mace za Beograd, ali smo po njihovom stanju mogli bez problema jos

50 hitnih slucajeva da nadjemo. Na zalost i nasi resursi su ograniceni. Tamo ima toliko posla…Odredjen broj pasa je dobio terapiju protiv demodikoze. Ima nekoliko skotnih kuja koje nisu uhvacene, po cenu i kojeg ujeda. Poslednju turu pasa smo nosili na rukama jer se cak i dzip zaglavio u blatu. Ostalo su sve rekli autori stranice. Samo da pozdravim vet.inspektora koji je i ovaj put dosao i ostavio nas da sami sprovedemo u delo akciju, sa samo molbom da mu sutra javimo sta smo odradili. Sve u svemu, jako tuzan dan, i otici i ostaviti ih potpuno same dok je mrak padao je bilo bas srceparajuce…

By Ksenija Stankovic

Résumé of today’s day is for crying – which we have done in one moment. Most of the puppies have died. Others received the therapy. There are few pregnant dogs which we could not catch, although we tried and paid the price, ended up with few bites. Last group of dogs we carried in our hands because jeep got stuck in the mud. Everything else is as reported on

Serbia: ‘Help Animals’ – Belgrade. Can You Help Them ?

Posted on March 20, 2011 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Website: www.helpanimals.org.rs

Dear Friends,

we are the members of “Help Animals” Association from Belgrade, in Serbia. First of all, we have to point out that we are dedicated to help all kind of animals where ever we can! Because of big problem with abandoned dogs and cats in Belgrade, right now we are spending almost all our time helping them. We are running two legal Shelters – for dogs “Riska” and cats “Jessica”. Please read the stories about them. Unfortunately, at this moment we are in very bad economical situation, because we are non-profit organization and the donations we have are far from enough. We need all help you can provide, if you like. Please read about that in: “How to help”.

Thank you very much, for everything you do for animals, worldwide.

Association for providing aid to abandoned animals “Help Animals” was founded on October 8^th 1992. in Belgrade, under reg.no.: 357/212-1-207/92, as a non-governmental and non-profit association of citizens for the Republic of Serbia.

The first our shelter was located at No.50 Ovčanski put Street, and our main activity, from 1992. until spring of 1999. was taking care of the dogs in the shelter.

By financial means from a donation received from Germany in 1998. the Association bought much bigger plot of land in place Batajnica, a suburb of Belgrade and opened a new shelter there. Unluckily for these 70 dogs, residents of the shelter, bombing of Yugoslavia started in March 1999.,whereas Batajnica turned out to be one of the main target areas.

Luckily, members of the Association managed to save all the dogs, but unfortunately the Association suspended all its activities.

Intensive activities were again continued in June 2000. when members of “Help animals” saved 430 dogs and 16 cats from Sheltes on hill Avala near the Belgrade.

If you want to find out more, please read about it at Shelter “Riska”, and also at Shelter “Jessica”.

Postovani ljubitelji macaka, sve ves na kolenimo molimo da zajednicki pomognemo macakama koje su ostale u ,nazovi, azilu Backa Toplola vlasnistvo pokojne Etele Merk. I psi i macke u tom azilu su u jako losem stanju. Na zalost macaka , vecina ljubitelja zivotinja i Drustava za zastitu zivotinja se angazovala oko pasa.To je i u redu jer ima oko 250 pasa a macaka je ostalo oko 15-25 (ne mogu se izbrojati jer se nalaze na otvorenom prostoru). Predpostavlja se da je macaka bilo oko 60 i da je najmanje 35-40 izgorelo u pozaru. U pozaru nije stradao ni jedan pas.

Bas zbog tako strasnog stradanja, tako strasne smrti i jako loseg zivota u azilu ostatak macaka je zasluzio da im nadjemo neki smestaj. Zasluzili su i zbog toga, a to se odnosi i na pse, sto su gradjani Srbije, prvenstveno gradjani Beograda nemilice nosili pse i macke u taj azil i ostavljali ih Eteli Merk da se potpuno sama o njima brine.

Na samim slikama mozete videti i uslove za zivot tih nesrecnih pasa i macaka. Mi necemo ulaziti sad u razloga postojanja takvih azila u Srbiji (90% su na zalost takvi) vec apelujemo na savest ljubitelja macaka da po jednu macku spasu. Mi cemo organizovati transport, nakon izvesnog vremena sterlizacije i sa svima koji budu preuzeli macku bicemo u redovnom kontaktu za bilo koju vrstu pomoci koju, u granicama nasih mogucnosti, mozemo pruziti.

Mi ne mozemo ici po svaku macku posebno vec cemo cekati da se nadje nekoliko novih vlasnika pa da ih zajedno dovezemo. Na sebe preuzimamo i obavezu da Vam macku do kuce dovezemo.

Koliko smo mi na osnovu slika videli najugrozeniji je Beli macaka Andjeo koji je vidno u losem stanju.

Jos uvek nisu sve macke slikane i nadamo se da cemo dobiti jos slika ali kada su ovakve tragedije u pitanju ne treba po slici birati macku vec samo doneti odluku koliki broj macaka zelite spasiti.

Tragediju uvecava i cinjenica da se uslovi za boravak ostatka macaka u azilu Backa Topola nece poboljsati niti se tako nesto planira. Kuca u kojoj su macke spavale je izgorela a drugog objekta nema.

Mi smo, pored nasih 118 macaka vec preuzeli 4 macke i bukvalno nemamo gde vise niti jednu macku smestiti.

NA KOLENIMA VAS MOLIMO DA SE SVI ZAJEDNO SMILUJEMO OVIM NAMUCENIM BICIMA I ODREKNEMO SE PROMILA OD PROMILA SVOG ZIVOTA ZA OSTATAK NJIHOVOG ZIVOTA.

Kontaktiraje nas hitno:

Serbia (Backa Topola): Rescue / Stray Dog and Cat Shelter Owner Killed by Fire Because She Could Not Pay for Electricity – and Most Probably Non-Implementation of Existing (Animal Welfare) Laws by Regional Authorities Which Should Have Given Financial Help.

Posted on March 10, 2011 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Video News Link:

http://www.prva.rs/sr/video/info/explosive/mediaSet/1135/EXploziv+10.03./2912.html

In the city of Backa Topola, Mrs. Etela Merk, who runs a no kill shelter for around 350 dogs, WAS KILLED IN A FIRE at her home (the shelter) on the night of 7^th March 2011.

From the information which we currently have, Etela Merk was operating the shelter without any electricity – she was having to use candles instead !.

Etela ran the shelter of 350 dogs and many cats, some of whom lived in the house with her and who were consumed by the fire which ravaged the facility. We understand that many of the animals survived, but that some animals were killed in the fire.

In our opinion, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to have large fire like that which occurred at the house,and with all the dogs barking, for anyone not to hear anything.

We are all very suspicious of the all circumstances that led to the death of Etela on the night of 7^th March.

Etela Merk was an academic artist, a painter who held the position of Professor at Belgrade Academy for Arts. Ten years ago she purchased a ranch and turned it in to shelter for unwanted pets.

Etela had four year old son (some reports say 4 some 5).

The local authorities are not directly in charge of the electricity supply to the house / shelter facility, but despite this, they should have been giving Etela financial aid so that she has enough money to pay for the electricity she requires for the shelter.

The authorities failed to ACT, that is what they are guilty off – a failure to act.

And so, with the death of an innocent victim of the system which fails to implement the law for the protection of stray animals, things have to now go further. Someone has to be held accountable for the death of Etela Merk because she was not given the support by the authorities which she was entitled to.

We understand that on 9^th March, the authorities of Backa Topola sent workers employed by JKP`Komgrad` to the shelter, and that they have ‘cleaned and given food to the animals’.

It is a legal obligation of local authorities throughout Serbia to finance the care of stray animals .

Today, 10^th March, and using a lawyers advice, a formal Criminal Charge has been made against those in authority who are guilty of the non-implementation of existing Serbian law. In the opinion of many, it is because of the non-implementation of the law, that Etela Merk is now dead. We can confirm that Etela’s young son survived the fire and that hopefully he is going to be adopted by those involved with animal welfare campaigning.

On 9^th March, Serbian campaigners spoke with the Mayor of Backa Topola, asking what is being done with the shelter animals now that their carer (Etela) has died in the fire. The Mayor, Mr. Babi Atila is alleged to have said that the animals will be cared for a certain time but then the animals will be euthanised.

The Mayor was immediately informed that he has a legal obligation to provide care for all the shelter animals; not to kill them; by using money from the city (Backa Topola) budget. He was verbally informed that if any of the shelter animals are taken and killed, rather than be cared for, he, the Mayor will be held guilty for undertaking illegal acts.

The Mayor was allegedly very angry with what he was told, but we have the law on our side and now that illegalities by the authorities have resulted in the death of a person who cares for animals at a shelter, everything will be done to ensure that those responsible for non-implementation of existing laws are now shamed.

It was the result of this campaigner / Mayor telephone conversation that has now resulted in the implementation of a formal Criminal Charge.

Copies of the Criminal Charges against the Backa Topola authorities can be seen via the following links:

ETELA MERK,Prijava,9.3

ETELA MERK,Prijava,9.3.2011-bilingual

SAV are currently legally investigating to ascertain if they (as non Serbian citizens) have the right to also make a Criminal Charge under Serbian legislation regarding the death of Etela Merk. This shelter which was run for stray animals by Etela should have, under existing Serbian legislation, been provided with care to help the strays.

As Etela died in a fire caused by candles due to the fact that she could not pay for the electricity at the shelter; which should have been partly financed by the Backa Topola authorities under existing Serbian law; somebody now has to be made responsible for her untimely death.

This is a tall order, but Ranjit has a dream to help animals in need.

We must try to support and help him with support and equipment if at all possible.

Please do what you can to rally some support from suppliers and specialists in your area or country.

Dear Mark,

Hi. I’m writing to you out of sheer desperation. I live in a small town called Allahabad in India. We, as a family have been avid animal lovers and have always had dogs at home and who are treated as family. there’s no difference in treatment between them and people in our house.

In my country, unfortunately, poverty makes people do things they wouldn’t otherwise. add illiteracy and ignorance to it.. just multiplies the effect. and the fact that there is complete lack of facilities in this city. we can do so much and no more. and I want to change this here.

I have lost dogs due to this very reason – lack of proper diagnosis and treatment thereof. And the death of an old female donkey (which came knocking on our door from some place i have no idea about) due to severe internal complications, has made my resolve of opening a state of the art facility for these poor animals even stronger. I have a decent size family business which gives us more than enough to live life comfortably. And I have no intentions whatsoever to profit from treating animals and being able to save their lives.

I have no idea how to go about it, the cost, who to get in touch with (obviously not the govt. as theres only interference). I have to start with scratch. right from the donations to the land to the facilities.. i know its a mammoth task, but i will do it. im done seeing these creatures without a voice suffer for no fault of theirs.

I’d be grateful if you can help me in making my dream come true. In whatever way possible. Contacts in the US and UK, doctors, machines needed etc.. because theres nothing here.. nothing.. And those who actually care, end up frustrated due to limitations.

I see how beautifully these animals are taken care of in europe and america. the facilities you have.. we humans dont have them in India. At times i feel being born as an animal in this country is the biggest curse.

Sorry for taking so much of your time. I look forward to getting a positive reply from your end. i will do whatever you want me to as long as it helps the animals. Excellent care and treatment for them is all we want. it would bring the greatest joy to see them not die prematurely. to see them alive and well till their last days.

My company doesn’t have a web site, but you can get to know a little about it from the link given: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_H_Wheeler_%26_Co

Link info as follows:

AH Wheeler & Co (P) Ltd, is the largest bookstore chain in India. The chain was founded by Emile Moreau, a French author, and TK Bannerjee, an Indian businessman in Allahabad. AH Wheeler borrowed its name from the then-successful London bookstore, Arthur Henry Wheeler’s. AH Wheeler opened its first outlet at Allahabad Railway Station in 1877. It later spread to have its book stalls in many small and big railway stations in India, especially in the north. AH Wheeler was the one that published Rudyard Kipling in 1888. In 1950, Bannerjee took over the company/ and since then he, along with his grandson Amit Bannerjee have been running the company. After 125 years of its completion, AH Wheeler had a chain of 378 bookstalls at 258 railway stations in the country.

Dear Mark,
I Cannot thank you enough for putting up my appeal on your website. It’s because of people like you that makes me work harder to ensure my dream comes true.

The over whelming response that I have been getting from people over the last few days has been most gratifying.

For all those reading the post/ appeal put up by Mark, help me help them. they need it more than we do.
Thank You once again,
Warm Regards,
Ranjit Banerjee

Ranjit; it is a pleasure.

I really hope that people everywhere will work to try and ensure you live the dream !
