#4-the-animals

Hi,
All you wonderful animal activists and animal lovers! You make the world worth living when there is so much hatred and abuse you just want to crawl into a hole and pull the dirt over your head so you don’t know what is going on.

But I can’t do that, that for me would be a cowards way out .... Others may have to, nothing wrong to survive, and survival is the most important, SURVIVE PLEASE. (we, the world - we love and need you).

I am going to try to do two 50/50 draws at the same time. One of course is Andjeo Sarajevo BiH.. Edina Pasic, with the funding AWAB was giving the rescuers now primarily going to spay and neutering; they will need even more help from us individuals. The other is a request for help from Ajla Reiz. She found a deserted mother and her five pups and is already swamped with the 10 dogs she already personally feeds.

There are three YOUCARING PAGES: for those who want to donate but have no paypal account!
AndjeoSarajevo BiH donations go directly to rescurers
1. http://www.youcaring.com/pet-expenses/feedingthestrays/224816
AjlaReiz - donations go directly to rescurers
2. http://www.youcaring.com/pet-expenses/feed-the-puppies/226847
AndjeoSarajevo BiH - donations go directly to rescurers
3. http://www.youcaring.com/pet-expenses/shelter-fees/226878

I only have one Paypal account. It covers my http://www.Critterfitters.com  business (which I hope if you need to buy items for your pets you will visit and consider buying from us.) and all other money exchanges. The two 50/50 draws are paying into my paypal account critterfitters@gmail.com too. So I really need you to write messages, about who you are buying 50/50 tickets for. Otherwise, I have to find your email address or PM account and write and ask you.. not impossible but pain in the butt..and takes time away from my sewing..

Next, THIS I REALLY HATE ---- Winter is coming a lot faster then we may be happy about.. Can you make blankets and send to the rescues? Can you help them buy bales of straw? Great insulation against the cold that is coming! In the states we have second hand stores that some times have used blankets.. if you cut a old blanket into halves or fourths depending on size, they make great dog blankets. Also old socks can be cut to become sweaters/coats for puppies and kittens depending on size of course.. I’ll post how to do it here.

THANK YOU
Nelda
GOOD LUCK ON THE 50-50 TICKETS YOU BUY THIS MONTH

#DONATION #CHALLENGE FOR #VIVA (ALIVE)

Viva was attacked by Pit Bulls. In Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, a city in the Balkans, It is almost a normal occurrence for the street animals to be attacked by Pit Bulls for training. The street Dogs are being used as bate dogs.

Edina Pasic of Andjeo Sarajevo BiH, was called to come rescue this dog. Edina with her kind heart could not leave the dog to bleed to death. She was taken to the local Vet who was open. life saving steps were taken that night.

It was found the next day, This dog also had a very serious broken leg.

To make a long story short (You can read at: http://www.youcaring.com/pet-expenses/viva-finally-traveling-9-9-14-to-uk-please-help-us/222975 ) she had her surgery.

She has healed, as you can see. With the help of many people most of her bill was paid, but some remains. 

We still need 150e to pay for the operation, 40e to pay for her boarding in Zagreb (for one month) and 20e to pay food for her, plus we need 200e for transport and 23e for her certificate.

As I write this, 210 Euro has been raised in her YOU CARING PAGE, But that is just under the halfway mark of the 435 Euros needed.

I am challenging YOU and or YOUR GROUP to donate at least 1 EURO, 1 POUND, or 1 DOLLAR
at her YOU CARING PAGE:
http://www.youcaring.com/pet-expenses/viva-finally-traveling-9-9-14-to-uk-please-help-us/222975

She was named ViVa by Miska one of our Rescures... She said Viva means "ALIVE" which this sweet dog most defiantly is...

WE NEED YOUR HELP!


Thank you!

Sepsis is a condition in which the body is fighting a severe infection that has spread via the bloodstream.

I BAWLED MY EYES OUT.. HOW SAD! NOW WILL THE MAN AND DOG WHO ATTACKED THEM BE PUNISHED... NO.. WHY? BECAUSE STREET ANIMALS PEOPLE OR DOGS CATS ARE VERMIN!

But the bill is still there and Dalida Kozlic has to pay that bill - SHE PROMISED!

Will you help her!

 My dear friends, this is really URGENT!

Everyone who has visited Sarajevo knows for Ramiz and Medo. Ramiz is poor and homeless man who has saved Medo from the street and they are the best friends.

Medo is everything for Ramiz. He eats before Ramiz, sleeps with Ramiz, they are always together. Medo is always priority for Ramiz. Unfortunately, a dog, which had an owner, attacked Medo and Ramiz few days ago.

Ramiz is injured and he is in the hospital now. Medo has awful injury near his tail. Since the temperature is high in Bosnia these days, the wound has been full of maggots. Also, a gangrene occurred all over an injured tissue.

When I found out for Medo's injury, I offered a help last night. My dear friend veterinarian Merima and her colleagues operated Medo this morning. She told me that he was brought to the vet at last moment.

Medo's recovery will be a long process. He is placed in Merima's pension now. Costs of the operation are 60 Euros. 30 Euros will be donated by one doctor from Sarajevo. Strong antibiotics are going to be administrated every day. One ampule costs 5 Euros. Also, the wound must be swathed every day. Medications, medical gauze and bandages are really expensive.

Also, Medo eats a lot and he will stay in the pension at least one month. Since Ramiz is really poor and he gives everything he has for Medo, I want to pay costs of Medo's treatment.

I know this beautiful dog and Ramiz. They deserve better life. Ramiz can't pay costs of medications, operation and treatment. Medo will have the best care, but we need your help.

Please, my dear friends, help me to pay this costs for Medo.

PayPal: eldar.kozlic1@gmail.com

Please mark for "Medo" and click confirm receipt.

Note from me.. Nelda, This man and his dog were not doing anything to be attacked and without your help this kind gentle man will loose his best friend. 

PLEASE - even if only a few pennies, help Dalida Kozlic help this dog "MEDO"

UP DATE - #DoYouCare?

UPDATE:

JELENA is staying in her apartment but she needs funding. She has no job, no income - ..No un-enployment. 

A few of us  have pledged to help her animals, with monthly donations, but if she stays in the apartment and finds a job even as a waitress and we continue to help. It is less expensive then keeping her cats in a pension. 

WE few will need your help too...She has no electrical, no heat, the apartment needs repairs. We need to raise money "NOW" for repairs to the apartment.. one item windows framing is loose and needs repair... so it can stay warm during the sub temperature winters.. AND THATS COMMING SOON!

Will you care by donating even as small an amount as a single dollar?? a single pound or a Euro?

KNOW A MAGAZINE, a BLOG, anyone who would pay for an article on the welfare of animals?  SHE IS YOUR JOURNALISTS!

PLEASE HELP!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MEET Jelena Paunovoc born and raised in the Balkans. She is a caring, devoted animal activists. 

Jelena Paunovic' has spent the last 10 yrs documenting abuse by individuals and government shelters,  She writes reports posting on face book and  sending to the appropriate  Government and European Union departments.  With out her reporting many if these atrocities would never have been known.

She also rescues, taking these animals into her own home (a small apartment)  when funds could not be rised to put them into shelters.  

She is an educated journalist, who has been un-employed for over a year.  She has not had heat or electricity or any of the things that make life endurable.

Now she must give up her apartment. She wants to sell it, which will give her funds to relocate. 

BUT what happens to the animals she is keeping there.. BACK TO THE STREETS? God forbid!

She is dedicated her life to animals, And now we ask you will you help her with enough for the shelter fees.

I have worked with Jelena personally for over 2 years, sending her pet coats and blankets, she gave to rescuers needing help.  She needs our help now! -

Will you care  enough to help?!?

#EMERGENCY -Help Pozega Dogs

Please send emergency donations to

humanimalserbia@gmail.com

marked 'emergency appeal'.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/HelpPozegaDogs/271243629728856/?notif_t=group_comment_reply

WE ARE ON THE BRINK OF A SERIOUS EMERGENCY**
WE ARE REACHING BREAKING POINT
Donations are extremely low.

Debts are spiralling out of control.

We are literally talking TENS OF THOUSANDS now.

*****WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO FEED OR SHELTER OUR DOGS*****
The critical point that we have all dreaded ever reaching is now fast approaching.

*****WE WILL NEED TO RELEASE SOME OF OUR DOGS BACK TO THE STREETS*****
This is something that we never ever want to do. This is something that we have avoided doing until now by piling up debt and accounts with the kennels and vets.

These dogs have been saved from hell, rehabilitated, fed, sheltered and shown a life without fear or abuse, we do not want to take this away from them now.

We have tried desperately to hang on until we have re-homed all of the dogs in our care saved from the Pozega horror shelter. However, the devastating flooding that hit Serbia saw the numbers of hungry mouths relying on us increase dramatically.

WE CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THEM - WE NEED HELP

We desperately need fundraisers.
We desperately need full sponsorship for all of our dogs.
We desperately need donations.
We desperately need help finding homes and networking our dogs.

If anyone has ANY ideas for a fundraiser, on OR off of Facebook AND can help organise it, PLEASE PLEASE get in touch.

We need active volunteers who can take the initiative and organise and run these fundraisers themselves. Current volunteers can help and advise, but we are completely swamped, so desperately need self motivated volunteers who want to be actively involved.

We need our thousand + members to get involved in this group before we go under.
I love this group, as I know many members do, we've been through so much together as a group, highs and lows. We've seen the true horror faced by the dogs in Pozega, we've been devastated by those we couldn't save and those we saved too late, we've shared the happiness of the adoptions and updates from the forever homes, and we've made some fantastic friends over the last year or so. I am totally gutted to imagine that the unthinkable could now happen.

BUT THIS IS THE REALITY!   EMERGENCY FUNDRAISER

We need funds urgently, desperately, and as soon as we can possibly raise them.
Please consider donating ONE EURO to our emergency appeal.

We have 1,581 members in this group. ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ONE MEMBERS!!!! If everyone donated one, just ONE EURO!!! That's less than £1, around 75 pence, then we can start getting back on our feet and feed all of the dogs in our care for this month.

Going forward, if everyone donated one euro each month we could really support these dogs while they wait for their happy ever afters.

One euro folks, you can't even buy a coffee for that much. Can anyone skip a chocolate bar? A few cigarettes? A takeaway coffee? And instead help feed some starving dogs?
Please please consider supporting this group and the dogs in our care before all of this groups hard work crashes down around us.

THIS IS SERIOUS. 
WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO FEED THE DOGS THIS MONTH
Any donation amount will help. Just one euro, or more if you can spare it.
Please send emergency donations to humanimalserbia@gmail.com marked 'emergency appeal'.

We won't create a youcaring page for this fundraiser as the PayPal fees on small donations are very high (35 cent or more on a single euro donation).

*****WE NEED YOUR HELP URGENTLY*****
Thank you for your continued support xx

P.s. If you prefer to spend your donation on a chance of winning a fantastic prize, please consider buying some raffle tickets for our upcoming draw:

Girls #hangPET while mother takes pictures

Bri Kindig‎WJHG-TV

5 hrs 

 

I urge you to make this news public. This woman, retta Bozeman from Panama City, who sees herself as such a good mother that her occupation on Facebook is "being mommy", posted this picture of her daughters "tying up" their dog. This is abuse. I contacted her and have no shame in what I said. This needs to be stopped. These children, one old enough to know better, are being taught that abusing animals is "cute" and photo worthy. I am reporting her to defacs and animal services. The fault lies on the parents here and makes me sad for the children. They need help if this kind of behavior is induced as normal where they live.

DO YOU WANT TO GIVE CORPORATE FACTORY FARMS #YOURMISSOURIRIGHTS

TO HAVE A FARM or NOT TO HAVE A FARM .... IS NOT THE QUESTION
THE QUESTION IS:


DO YOU WANT TO GIVE CORPORATE FACTORY FARMS  AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS YOUR MISSOURI RIGHTS


WELL DO YOU??


Subject:  Please Vote “No” on Amendment 1 on Tuesday – and Forward This Email to Your Contacts
 
Friend,
Of the major Missouri daily newspapers that have taken a position on Amendment One, 16 of 17 urge citizens to vote “No” on Amendment 1.


Amendment 1 would give corporate factory farms and even foreign corporations constitutional rights to do what they want with our farmland.


The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says that Amendment 1 would give “massive out-of-state corporations extra protection in the state constitution.” The Joplin Globe calls Amendment 1 “a measure designed to protect corporate agriculture rather than the traditional family farm.” And the Kansas City Star calls Amendment 1 an "unnecessary and potentially harmful proposal." The Sullivan Journal says Amendment 1 is “a farce.”


Please join me in supporting the Missouri Farmers Union, the Humane Society of Missouri, and the League of Women Voters of Missouri in saying “no” to Amendment 1 on Tuesday. And please help me get out the vote against Amendment 1 by phone-banking or volunteering at a poll near you – you can sign up by clicking here. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jkkE5EUdcsrXN2-5SWQfwc0fp8S5gonvl0DY4y-YQ3s/viewform


We shouldn’t give foreign corporations extra rights at the expense of our own family farmers, animals, water quality, and the environment. Together, we can keep the power where it belongs - in our hands.


Thanks,

#AmericanMilitaryDeserted -

By chance I found this:
https://dailykos.com/campaigns/900?detail=email


Please Sign the Petition:
TITLE OF PETITION: Reunite retired military dogs with the veterans that love them.

I just read a petition and some wording caught my eye that just pissed me off... Let me explain a little, I am a veteran, although, it was in peacetime that I served.  I spent almost 14 years at the beck and call of the US Army.
I am medically retired (service connected) as a Staff Sergeant (E-6). The petition asks for your signature, to get the military to PAY to ship service dogs home. A SERVICE DOG IS A SOLDIER..
who has served honorably. ARE YOU TELLING ME THE US MILITARY IS LEAVING SOLDIERS BEHIND... DESERTING THEM??!!

The comment that points this out goes "  Currently retired military dogs can be adopted by anyone who can afford to ship them home. That is good news, as most of these dogs do get adopted. "

MOST---- NOT ALL!  WHAT HAPPENS TO THE OTHERS....DESERTED OR KILLED!??

Rescuing the Rescuer

I have been in correspondence with Jelena for over 2years she would not ask for help if she was not desperate! 

PLEASE HELP!

Rescuing the Rescuer

Jelena Paunović, activist, rescuer and journalist in Sarajevo needs our help. Please read about her here. Jelena is one of the main reasons anyone outside of Bosnia Herzegovina knows about the dire situation for strays. During last year's attempt to change the BiH animal welfare laws she was fully engaged with helping organise demonstrations against these changes.

She has investigated the 'horror shelters' and shared the story, often putting her own life in danger.

If you have read in this blog the appalling situations in the so-called dog shelters, and in particular with the dog 'shelter' in Hresa, it is primarily due to Jelena's investigative work. No one will ever forget the photograph of the starving dog, taken at the shelter.

WANT AN ARTICLE WRITTEN HIRE HER!

But the fact remains that for an intelligent, educated, dedicated young woman in Bosnia, someone who fights a cause - animal welfare  - that the government shows no sign of supporting, a cause that the general populace is against, the options are few, and she is now at her wits end how to survive.

Jelena has had no paid work for well over a year now, but still has managed to continue her advocacy work. She has been trying to find a job in all possible ways but... in Bosnia 60% of young people are unemployed. She is just one more of them (please read her blog, "Fuck this Country" http://journalistsforanimals.wordpress.com/2014/06/02/fuck-this-country/  ).

Jelena can't go on like this. She has one option, to sell her small, but now utterly ruined apartment. It's ruined because of all the rescues she's fostered, and because she's had no income to fix things.

To put the apartment on the market, she has been forced to put into pension (kennels) the cats she rescued over the past eight years and has been fostering, but she has no income to pay the cost of this pension, but also no choice to do this. She is in a terrible situation because of this. She has no possibility of a bank loan, no one in her family who can help and all her friends are in a similar situation: struggling to survive while also struggling to save the animals.

Jelena says: "There are seven cats in total. Other than these, I also have three dogs living in my apartment who were also rescued off the streets. This means that in my devastated apartment I have a total of 10 animals. I have tried to find homes for them, but I failed. For the past four years my apartment has had no heating system and the windows are so old they can no longer hold the glass. I have nylon on my windows instead of glass. Tens of stray dogs went through my flat. When I add it all up, it was nice to save them all, but I have destroyed my life. Now I am trying to sell the apartment in which I can no longer live. All I ask is your help to gather the money to keep the cats in the pension until I can sell my apartment. When people see so many animals, trust me, they vomit, and they bring the price down, and this apartment is the only material thing I own. For the first time I am begging you for help, because I will go insane!"

Many of the dogs you've seen on these blogs that were rescued and eventually found homes for outside of BiH were fostered by Jelena in this apartment.  Surely we can thank her for all the fine work she's done by helping fund the cats until she can sell her apartment?

The cost to keep the cats in pension is 3 euros per day per cat, about 530 euros per month. She's managed to raise some of this, but for this month alone still needs at least 250 euros. Can we raise this and one month in addition so she can focus on selling the apartment and not worry every moment about how she will pay this debt?

And if you think you can offer a home to one of these lovely cats, please email her directly.

If you can help with the pension debt, you can donate directly to Jelena via PayPal to journalistsforanimals@gmail.com - mark 'for cat debt' -

or if you prefer, via AWABosnia's Paypal: donations@awabosnia.org, please mark 'for Jelena's cat pension debt'.

Thank you! Any amount will help, perhaps you can offer to pay one day for one cat (3 EU/4 USD)?
