Germany: Rabbit missed, Hunter hit. Rabbit Escaped And Is Fine.

SAV Comment – Glad to hear the rabbit is ok.

Hello friends, hallo Mark,
today I have good news!!

I read this report on a German web site for animal rights and translated it.

 

Rabbit missed, hunter hit.


ST.PETER AM HART, AUSTRIA: At around 11:05 am on Saturday, 21 October, at the end of a so-called ‘drive-hunting’, the participants of a hunt were in the Mooswiesen area.

An 80-year-old hunter from St. Peter am Hart and a 25-year-old from Altheim were on the same level in the last rifle line.

As a field rabbit ran between the two and fled towards St. Peter, the 25-year-old gave a shot but did not hit.

The 80-year-old, who was to the right of the 25-year-old, shot twice on the rabbit, but missed it as well, and shot by mistake at his colleague!!

The 25-year-old was hit by bullets in his head and legs.

He had to be transferred by the red cross to the hospital in Salzburg, seriously injured.

I have written a comment on an Austrian side:

”As soon as I get 80 years old, I will make a hunting license. I have great chances to eliminate the right ones in the forest”.

My best regards to all

Serbia: The Dogs Of Mrs. Duda – Can You Help Them ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

UPDATED 19/10/17 

Dogs and Cats of Ms. Duda in Serbia – Would You Help Them

Hello, Mark. I hope you’re doing well

We are here to kindly ask you for your financial aid for the dogs and cats in Ms. Duda’s care. Duda (Dubravka Kokinović) and her animals reside in Nova Pazova, a town in the north of Serbia.

 

At this moment, she cares for around 30 dogs and a few cats and lately she’s been struggling to afford even basic necessities like food and medication.

 

She has been taking care of numerous abandoned animals at her home for years –  some of whom were happily adopted by people from Serbia and abroad. She’s also looking after animals that are still on the streets of Nova Pazova.

 

We are also inviting all the caring people who are visiting this page and whose support would be much appreciated to donate via PayPal:

 

aleksandradudic@gmail.com ; Subject: For Duda

 

Or you can donate through Youcaring: https://www.youcaring.com/dudasdogsandcats

 

Here are the latest photos from the rescues at Duda’s home:

Here is an excerpt from the local veterinary inspection report done in late 2015. at Duda’s home where she keeps all her rescued dogs and cats:

 

Veterinary inspection was preceeded by municipal communal inspection that constated factual circumstances, but didn’t state whatsoever whether placing of  an animal shelter was allowed in inhabited areas and in specific zones.

The ordinance about the conditions that must be performed by  animal shelters and pensions – Službeni glasnik RS 19/12 – cited by the communal inspector does not specify in which location a shelter may be placed, but only the conditions it must fulfill.

Regarding Animal Welfare Act, Dubravka provided maximum protection and care for injured and sick animals with no assistance from municipal structures that should have been solving these issues according to Veterinary Act – Službeni glasnik RS No 91/05; 30/10 article 46.

Germany: Judge Approves The Work Of Activists Who Filmed Undercover – No ‘Ag Gag’ In The EU.

 

Dear Mark,

 

There are also good news, from time to time.
I received the news yesterday about the three freed animal activists who published their undercover investigations in a stable, in Magdeburg.
Who does not know that?
Dead pigs, others on the ground, who are being eaten by their fellow-creatures, turkeys with huge wounds, chickens with broken legs … this is the cruel reality of German animal husbandry.
This reality is denied or embellished for strong economic interest.
The three animal rights activists of the organization “Animal Rights Watch” filmed the conditions of the stables of “van Gennip Tierzuchtanlagen GmbH & Co. KG” about four years ago. They wanted to document grievances.

The prosecutor accused them of private nuisance

On Wednesday, October 11, the Magdeburg regional court has released all three of them.

He justified the acquittal that such film recordings are justified.
State control has failed, and in this case intervention is warranted, even necessary and right !!
In this case, according to the judge, the activists have committed private nuisance but their motivation was correct.
The trespass was the right means to obtain a criminal complaint against the stable owner and finally to free the animals from their torment !!

A court spokesman said: “The judge has made clear that no damage has been done and the activists have chosen the mildest means of emergency relief, namely to document the conditions.”
The animal rights activist Jürgen Foss of the organization “Animal Rights Watch” said: “I am totally moved and overjoyed, and I have not experienced anything like that before, and it is a good thing that the judge encourages us in what we do.
I’m curious to see if the prosecutor’s office goes to the next instance. ”
About 30 other activists had followed the trial in the courtroom.

The joy of all animal protectionists is very great.
It was a courageous judgment, and has an elemental meaning.
The judge outlined animal welfare as a high right and pointed to the anchoring in the Basic Law.

Above all, now that the meat mafia is currently massively trying to criminalize filming in animal husbandry (keyword “stale breakouts”), this is also an important signal for democracy.

Yes, what else can I say?
All of Germany can be proud of this judge!

 

best regards

Venus

Serbia: 15/10/17 – Our New Fence Has Been Fitted – Thank You To All Who Helped With Funding.

 

 

We’ve been talking about the urgent need to replace the old chain link fencing for five years now, to no avail. The fencing in question is actually the most essential part of the outdoor enclosure, as it keeps the kitties safe in the yard so they can’t wander off into the streets, nor can something or someone get in at them. However, as time went by, the old chain link fencing became a serious liability and the new one remained in the domain of the unreachable until recently, when a group of our friends and supporters decided to provide us with the much needed fencing and even paid the contractor to put it on.

Since the old chain link fence was never strong enough, not even when the shelter was founded, our guardian angels enabled us to purchase some hardware cloth fencing. Its steel construction makes it stronger and more durable, and it’s not only that our older kitties are safe now, but our little ones can join the adult cats in the yard sooner than before thanks to the density of the new hardware cloth fence. Hailey, Finn and Sheena were the first to test our new fencing and we think they are delighted with the yard as well as with mingling with the grownups. Finn is all over the place and doesn’t seem able to stand still for a second; Hailey is fearlessly exploring every part of the shelter; Sheena was a bit shy at first but she got over it quickly. All three of them are unstoppable and can’t get enough of their freedom.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our donors who wished to stay anonymous – you have literally saved our kitties. We would also like to thank our contractor Nenad and his fiancé Ana for a job well done. And we would also like to thank each and every one of you for your help and overall support during all of these years. Please don’t forget that your moral and financial support has always been and continues to be crucial for Felix shelter’s ability to stay afloat. Things are still far from perfect, but we will do our best to scrape by on no fixed income for as long as we can.

Now that are furry friends and residents are safe from any harm, we can focus on many important things that are waiting for us right around the corner – annual rabies vaccinations of all of the cats, cat food and heating gas supplies for the upcoming winter. Also, next spring we will try and change the whole existing construction of the fence in order to make it safer or maybe build a new outdoor enclosure that will provide our residents with even more space. Perhaps someday we will also be able to provide a new forever home for more cats and kitties in need; right now it’s a little tight.

Thank you for making all the good things possible!

Lots of love,
Cat Shelter Felix and its furry and fluffy residents

***********************************************
O hitnoj potrebi zamene žice na spoljnom delu prihvatilišta pričamo već pet godina. Pomenuta žica predstavlja najvažniji deo spoljne jedinice prihvatilišta jer štiti naše drugare – niti mogu da odlutaju na ulicu, niti ih neko ili nešto može povrediti. Pošto nikako nismo uspevali da prikupimo neophodna sredstva, postojeća žica je predstavljala sve veći problem a nova je ostala u domenu nedostižnog. Makar je tako bilo do skoro, kada je grupa prijatelja i donatora Felix prihvatilišta donela odluku da nam donira neophodnu žicu, pa čak i plate majstora za izvođenje radova.

S obzirom da stara žica nikada nije bila dovoljno čvrsta, čak ni kada je prihvatilište izgrađeno, naši anđeli čuvari su nam omogućili kupovinu 400 kvadrata rabic pletiva. Čelična konstrukcija i punktovani varovi je čine daleko čvršćom i trajnijom. Felix mace ne samo da su sada bezbedne, već i maćići mogu ranije da se pridruže odraslim macama u dvorištu jer su okca rabic pletiva mala i ne postoji apsolutno nikakva šansa da se malci kroz nju provuku. Hejli, Fin i Šina su bili prvi juniori koji su testirali novu žicu i mislimo da su oduševljeni dvorištom i druženjem sa odraslim mačkama. Fin se rastrčao po celom dvorištu i ne može da miruju čak ni na sekund; Hejli neustrašivo istražuje svaki kutak prihvatilišta; Šina je u početku bila pomalo stidljiva i suzdržana, ali ju je to prošlo veoma brzo. Svo troje su nezaustavljivi i ne mogu da se zasite novostečene slobode.

Od srca zahvaljujemo donatorima koji su izrazili želju da ostanu anonimni, ali svejedno osećamo potrebu da im još jednom kažemo “hvala” jer su doslovno spasili naše prihvatilište. Takođe želimo da izrazimo veliu zahvalnostmo Nenadu i njegovoj verenici Ana na profesionalnom, izvanrednom, pedantnom i brzom radu i druženju. Ukoliko nekome budu bile potrebne slične usluge, bez trunke lažnog marketinga vam preporučujemo ovaj par jer se nećete pokajati.

Zahvaljujemo svakom od vas za pomoć tokom svih ovih godina. Vaša moralna i finansijska podrška je od samog početka bila i ostala krucijalna jer ste Felix azilu za mačke omogućili da se održi. Ima ovde još puno posla, ne bi se baš moglo reći da je sve savršeno, ali daćemo sve od sebe da i bez stalnih i redovnih donacija održimo azil što je duže moguće.

Sada kada su naši štićenici bezbedni, možemo da se fokusiramo na druge važne stvari koje nas čekaju u bliskoj budućnosti – obavezna godišnja vakcinacija protiv besnila svih mačaka u prihvatilištu, konzervirana hrana i gas za grejanje za hladnu sezonu koja je već uveliko nastupila. Osim toga, sledećeg proleća ćemo pokušati da izvršimo zamenu i rekonstrukciju celokupne konctrukcije spoljnog dela prihvatilišta kako bismo je učinili što bezbednijom i trajnijom na duže staze, ili ćemo možda izgraditi još jednu spoljnu jedinicu što će našim štićenicima obezbediti dodatni prostor za igru i druženje. Možda ćemo jednog dana biti u mogućnosti da pružimo utočište i dom još većem broju nezbrinutih maca i mačića koji iz određenih okolnosti imaju slabe šanse da se dobro udome, jer trenutno nam je malo „tesno“.

I naravno, jedno ogromno hvala našim prijateljima iz veterinarske ambulante Panvet veterinarska stanica u Subotici. Njihova profesionalnost, stručnost, posvećenost i ljubav prema životinjama su zaslužni za to što naše mace imaju najbolju moguću veterinarsku negu u svako doba dana i noći. Hvala vam za svaku macu nad kojom ste bdeli zajedno sa nama, koje ste hranili špricem kada mi nismo bili u mogućnosti da to uradimo, koje ste u naručju šetali i nosali samo da biste ih smirili. Hvala vam za svaki vid bezuslovne podrške i hvala vam na najpovoljnijim mogućim uslovima lečenja maca jer bez toga nikako ne bismo bili u mogućnosti ni da lečimo ovako veliki broj azilskih mačaka, niti bismo bili u mogućnosti da im pružimo svu moguću negu. Da nema vas, životinje pronađene na ulicama, izbačene, zlostavljane i često ozbiljno povređene teško da bi ikad naišle na takvu ljubavi i posvećenost, niti bi saznale da postoje veterinari koji nikada nisu niti će profitirati na napuštenim, uličnim ili azilskim životinjama. Hvala!

Hvala vam svima što ste omogućili da se lepe stvari dešavaju!

Zahvalni,
Azil za mace Felix i svi njegovi čupavi stanari
