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: 

http://inmemoryofvucko.org/2013/09/20/bosnia-killing-dogs-no-different-to-romania/

 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!

Hi,
Happy Father's Day to those of you blessed enough to be Father's, or soon to be Fathers... and we can't ever leave out Grandfathers.

Well, Lucy decided to change Milena's video a little, so the old link is no longer working.  This one still has a few errors in it, but minor ones. Nothing of consequence. 

Please visit and share and by all means tweet it...

We need help raising funds.  It is important to get as many Dogs as possible re-homed. It may seem way to far into the future to talk about the coming winter, but it is there just a few just a few short months from now. Those of us who  can sew, are already making padded rain proof winter coats for the dogs who may still be in open shelters. The less expensive shelters have no heating, even if they have roofing. The best is King's Pension (that is the Bosnian term for Shelter). That costs 120.00 Euro per month. Right now 50.00 EURO runs about $64.00. so we are looking at over 100.00 USD per month for any dog there.. But here they are fed, the kennels are heated and the man who runs it works with the dogs getting them used to being handled and helping them build up their confidence. Well worth the charge, but help is needed, to cover it.

You can donate directly to Milena, via http://www.Paypal.com      just use her email address:
milena.malesevic@hotmail.com
A monthly donation of 5.00 - 10.00 dollars  even a one time donation of one dollar buys just that much more to help the street dogs.

The puppy graphic above is just one of the many computer generated, hand drawn, or photos used in the graphics for Milena's store.  Come visit... http://www.cafepress.com/stravingstrays
The link sometimes takes you to the general store instead of Saving Suffering Strays of Sarajevo.. Milena's so please just add the /starvingstrays part...

Have a great Day...

Introducing Milena Malesevic, my hero!

There are times in our life's when a little shame brings us back into the fold.. I am sharing one of those time with you today.

On Face book, I have met and joined a group of people worldwide who are trying to help animal activist  in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The reason I am ashamed is that I can't seem to be motivated to post to this blog daily... What does it take 5 minutes a half-hour??  And yet there is a Lady in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, who spends her days, day after day, year after year going all over Sarajevo and other areas of Bosnia-Herzegovina feeding the homeless, deserted, vile verman - THE STREET DOGS.

Take a minute, no it will take you longer then that just to stop crying; view and share this video introducing you to Milena Malesevic.

SICKENING PICTURES - DON"T LOOK!

Dear Friend,
I don't mean to offend you with the pictures included in this posting, but the reality of the fur trade allows nothing else.

Why do we need to wear fur real or what we think is fake fur? Do we consider that an animal is killed to get that fur off the body? Well by the end of this message you will look facts right in the face!

WE think they are killed first to skin them but no more then half are skinned alive. YES SKINNED ALIVE!
Reality is heart breaking sickining and horrible. But what must the dogs feel when this is done to them, What your feeling right now from looking at the pictures does not compare! ....remember the name MARC JACOBS
