SERBIA MUST ENFORCE THE ANIMAL WELFARE LEGISLATION – JUSTICE FOR THE DOG BINGO!



On August 19 2014, in Staro selo, Serbia, in the yard of the owner's house, unknown person was killed 8-years old dog Bingo. The autopsy, performed by the authorized veterinarian, showed that the dog was poisoned with the toxic substance that is banned in Serbia. The police was informed and the prosecutor requested an investigation, but until today nobody investigates the case of unfortunate dog Bingo.

This is not first unsolved case of animal cruelty in Serbia!

Serbia is currently undertaking the process of applying for EU membership, so finally must fully enforce its own national animal welfare legislation.

2 very important petitions – please sign and share!

I see Serbia's ethics exclusively as a human institution. In 2015, Serbia must bring the animals into the sphere of moral recognition and protect them with the powers of law and the state.

Isn't that right, Bingo?

Shooting homeless animals soon can be a reality in Europe. Please don't let this happen!



Via FOUR PAWS and OCCUPY FOR ANIMALS

Only a few days left to sign these 3 important petitions which calls on the European Commission to rethink its plans to classify stray cats and dogs as wild animals. If the proposal is approved, it would mean that free-roaming animals would be granted a lower level of protection in the EU. In some situations, this could offer legal grounds for allowing hunters to shoot at them!

The signatures of these petitions will soon be send to the EU Parliament, the EU Commission, the Council as well as to the Agriculture Ministers of all EU Member States.

Please do not miss signing it! Add your voice to those of growing numbers of compassionate people from around the world, and let's make a difference!

Together, we can!!!

Petition 1. STRAY ANIMALS ARE NOT WILD ANIMALS (CLOSED)

Petition 2. ESTABLISH AN EU LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR POPULATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMES FOR DOGS AND CATS WITHOUT DELAY

Petition 3. REJECT THE PROPOSAL CONTAINED IN THE DRAFT OF THE 'EU ANIMAL HEALTH LAW' THAT DEFINES STRAY DOMESTIC ANIMALS AS "WILD ANIMALS"

EU citizens, who wish to raise their voice against this decision, can also send the digital protest postcards to their representatives.
‘Non-kept dogs and cats’ are NOT wild animals! In the draft Animal Health Law, stray domestic animals are defined as wild animals. This ignores the fundamental biological distinction between wild and domestic animals, and also goes against the basic principle of Article 13 TFEU that considers animals to be sentient beings.
Such a definition would lead to:
– serious misunderstandings and legal uncertainty in all Member States
– less animal protection for stray animals
– the isolation of stray dogs and cats as second-class animals.
To confuse domestic animals with wild animals is scientifically wrong and poses a threat to stray domestic animals.
Please reject this unacceptable idea contained in the present draft of the Animal Health Law.

I'M TRIPP. HELP ME STAY ALIVE AND GET ADOPTED


UPDATE: VICTORY – TRIPP IS FREE AND ADOPTED!!!
Feb 24, 2015 — "Dear all: on this day, WCAC performed the behavioral assessment on Tripp. They were very nice and professional. Tripp passed the test. They allowed us to adopt him. We signed the paperwork and are now on the way home. WE HAVE NO WORDS TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT!" 
♥ ♥ ♥

The foster family needs your help to save the pup Tripp. This sweet dog is currently being foster through Wake County Animal Shelter in North Carolina. He has lived in his foster for 7 months. At last vet check up Tripp barked at another dog. One shelter staff member saw him barking and labeled him as aggressive. Wake County Animal Shelter now is determined to euthanize little Tripp.


Be the voice of innocent pit bull pup who can't speak up for himself.

Petition 1. WAKE COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER: ALLOW "TRIPP" TO BE AVAILABLE TO RESCUE GROUPS OR UP FOR ADOPTION: DO NOT EUTHANIZE HIM

Petition 2. NC SHELTER WANTS TO EUTHANIZE DOG BECAUSE IT BARKED AT OTHER PETS! SAVE TRIPP NOW!

Foster family letter to Wake County Animal Shelter
I am devastated to hear that our lovely foster Tripp could be put down just because he barked at other dogs at the shelter last time I took him in for his monthly update. He is not a bad dog, he is sweet, mellow, plays with doggy toys, fetches whatever you toss, plays tug o’ war with our other dogs, has integrated perfectly into our pack… I am aware that he belongs to the county and that you guys can do with him as you please, but from a human level I am asking you to do everything possible to keep him from dying. He is an innocent dog, he hasn’t bit any human and is getting a lot better. We are willing to adopt him. We have been trying to contact as many Rescue Groups as possible to have him pulled this Friday when we turn him in. I know I am not the only one who has developed an emotional bond with a doggie that is going to be euthanized, but Tripp is not a bad dog. The shelter would be putting to sleep an innocent doggie who hasn’t done anything bad to anybody. It would break our hearts if anything bad happens to him just because he barks at other dogs… I don’t know what else to say… I am so brokenhearted. Please help us save Tripp. He deserves a second chance and we are willing to give it to him. Of course we appreciate everything you have done so far. Please don’t let him die.

Serbia: JUSTICE FOR PUPPY LORD

 

In Serbian cities, almost daily, people are deliberately killing animals and go unpunished. The last story is heartbreaking. Lord, 4-month-old puppy who filled owner's day with kisses, tail wags and endless joy, went out from his yard with 2 other dogs and ended his walk in the neighbor's yard. Few moments later, Lord was hacked to death with an axe by the neighbor Radoslav Peric.
Who in the world would hurt a helpless puppy? According to the neighbor words, the puppy rushed in to slay him, his wife and their sheep. This violent act of animal cruelty was reported to the police but they said that the owner is guilty and that they are not competent because it's not a gun incident.



If you want justice for puppy Lord, sign the petition and send an email to Serbian authorities.

PETITION: WE WANT JUSTICE FOR 4 MONTH OLD PUPPY
