Help Pozega Dogs - need funds desperatly

Cover PhotoHelp Pozega Dogs

 This group is created to help volunteers from Belgrade HumAnimal who rescue dogs from the Pozega horror shelter in Serbia. It's estimated over 7,000 dogs have abeen killed there and well known they are tortured & systematically starved - we have been trying to save as many as possible by reserving them vetting them/placing them in private kennels & finding them fosters or adopters. But we have run out of funds & need urgent help!

We will raise funds, build awareness and assist with lobbying the government.

This infamous torture dog pound ironically called "Our Home":

- is catching dogs from 7 Serbian cities
- after a few weeks dogs are killed with t61 injenction & no legally required sedation
- or they are strangled or beaten!!!
- dogs are literally starved before they die
- most dogs can no longer walk
- & can barely lift their heads

Pups only couple of months old are curled up on the ground & do not react any more to the human voice.

It is well known that the shelter supervisor & the vet torture the dogs. There are 17+ criminal charges against the management of the pound, but they continue to catch & kill these poor animals.

- around 300-400 dogs are killed per month
- Local Authorities pay 100 euros/dog to the pound!
- they earn around 400.000 euros/year

IN LAST 5 MONTHS 108 DOGS SAVED - 96 SURVIVED BUT HUMANIMAL HAS RUN OUT OF FUNDS :(

- many saved have serious health problems, due to being starved & butchered sterilisations
- some are fighting for their lives
- 38 were very sick
- 11 very sadly died due to being starved/distemper
- 60+ are waiting for adopters

PLEASE HELP STOP THE HORROR!

MURDER - BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS

This is a critical petiton to sign given what is happening in Romania right now. Bosnia may well decide to do the same thing.

Animal abuse is rife in Bosnia Herzegovina and the problem of companion animal, particularly dog overpopulation has become a problem of epidemic proportions; there are no humane animal control programs in place and the corruption occurring at management level in many public dog 'shelters' means that shelters are part of the problem, with dogs left to starve or being "euthanised" by injections of bleach or clubbing. The general populace of this country views stray dogs and cats as nothing more than a vermin to be exterminated – or worse.
It is critical that the government of Bosnia Herzegovina immediately implement a mandatory spay neuter program for strays (catch-neuter-return) and also for owned pets; mandatory microchipping; prosecution of animal abusers and corruption in shelter management and education of the populace in the importance of humane treatment of all animals. The link between animal abuse and crimes against people has been documented for decades and needs to be understood by the government and people of Bosnia Herzegovina.

PETITION CREATED BY: Sandra Jensen


Hi,
I would hope, pray, beg that the action on going in Romania would never have happened but facts are facts. Horrible death, tortuous death, being beaten, stabbed, hung.... Every means of death the people on the streets can do.

We can not allow this to continue and spread to the other countries. WE must stop the spread of this craziness, MURDER is not the way to animal control.

Education of animal owners, neuter and spaying adoption and sponsorship are the means of control.

Please if you have ever had a pet, if you have ever had a friend with a pet, use the link above go sign the petition. Have your family sign, your friends sign, your neighbors sign.. It is only with hundreds of thousands of people protesting will there be a change, only with the European Union taking action....Will the MURDER STOP.

"Recognizing that man has a moral obligation to respect all living creatures and​​​​​​​​​​​​ bearing in mind that pet animals have a special relationship with man"​​​​​​​​​​​​​

BOSNIA-HERSGOVINA Killing Dogs is no different from Romina's killings....

The latest posting on In Memory of Vucko: 


 As you know, the Romanian Parliament has ruled that all stray dogs will be killed if, after fourteen days, they 
 remain unadopted. The authorities in Bosnia-Herzegovina will use this as an example to enforce the same law and make it legal to kill all stray dogs. In fact, it’s already happening in Bosnia in spite of existing 
animal welfare laws!  
 Unlike in Romania, there are no celebrities or high profile activists telling the world about it!

The existing Animal Welfare and Protection Act of Bosnia-Herzegovina is in fact a good and functional law. It’s just not being implemented because certain political and professional circles do not want to implement it.

The reason is love!

Hi,
It has been forever since I've written a message for you all. Can you look at the face of this great dog and not wonder what brings the sadness to her eyes.

Like most of the deserted and abandoned street dogs and cats in Eastern Europe. All she wanted was a home.

In this case although, faced with being abandoned as a puppy a great man found her and took her to the home he shared with his brother and sister-in-law. They hated the dog for years the man protected her and supported her on his meager funds.
But the story turns sad here the man being elder, died. His brother took the dog to one of the kill shelters, but friends found her after 2 weeks of searching. she was rescued and is now homed in Germany.

If this story seems unusual, in a way it is, She was rescued... Most dogs and cats in Eastern Europe are beaten to death, poisoned, starved, hit, chased, exposed to sickness, frozen during the sub zero temperatures during the winter.

So you see she was very lucky. She was saved twice...

I have created a webpage for you to use to locate a shelter, group or individual you would like to help feed, house and vet these beautiful animals.  Go to - http://the-reason-is-love.com/  Pick a group to help, then share their information. The more people to help, the more we can save!
