Dogs - Serbia (#)
2011. August 25 - Smederevo - A year old dog was found on Thursday in the center of Smederevo with cut off front and rear left leg. Another mutilated dog was found on Wednesday night in Duke Street Wanderers, cut off from the front left and rear left leg. It is made deliberately and professionally, because the limbs are cut just below the joint. Mutilation was done with a sharp object, possibly a knife or machete, but we dont know said veterinar Saša Stokić - who operated the dog.
Someone deliberately, tortured, crippled a innocent animal. Also a single black male around one year get his leg amputated. He has a necklace, but it is not chipped. It is not known whether there are owners.
At the place where the dogs was found was no blood, so it is possible the brutal act took place elsewhere. The vet said that the case was immediately reported to the police and public prosecutor. In Smederevo and Kraljevo, police are looking for a monster.
Smederevo, Belgrade, 26th August 2011 – Archie, a beautiful one-year old stray dog that used to live near a bus station in the Serbian city Smederevo, became another innocent victim of monstrous crime against animals.
An unknown offender has cut off his front and back left paws and left the victim on the street, clearly wanting to make his crime (against stray dogs) known to everyone.
Archie was brought to Dr. Sasa Stokic's practice in Smederevo, 24 hours after the crime was committed. There was a serious infection and Dr. Stokic had to amputate the lower parts of Archie's legs in order to save his life. Dr Sasa Stokic is one of the few Serbian veterinarians who is also an activist for animals' rights.
He says that the mutilation was performed professionally, with a sharp object, and that there is no doubt that the dog was crippled deliberately. Archie is stable, but he is going to need time to recover, and he will probably be able to move with the help of special prostheses. Source
Stray dogs are sterilized and put back on the street - shortly after.
September 2011 - a message received from a desperate animal rescuer in Serbia that competent authorities fail to adequately solve the stray dog problem.
In fact, all eventually boils down to catch them an masse collected from a small town and in inadequate conditions where 60 dogs transported in a trailer 1.5 x 1 m dimensions and driven to the higher centers and then sterilized.
While being in a stray dog center, they usually don't get enough food and in case they are sick they don't get adequately medical treatment. Also, while staying there they get fleas and ticks, and other parasites and viruses.
At in the end, after that great treatment which I described, malnourished and often sick, they are given back to the street at the habitants, where they usually die in the worst pain. All of these is done by local community: for each male stray dog 30,- euro and for each female dog 50,- euro - also it is pretty often that dogs died while being in a dog center.
The Nis city council decided not to kill the stray dogs but to sterilize them!
The beautiful dog in the pictures, was found in Nis (Serbia) on the street after her sterilization performed by Mitko Davkovski in the Nis' public pound, known as the undertaker of innocents who killed more then 1500 misfortunate dogs by injections right into their hearts and lungs.
She was immediately released from the vet service in - as you can see - horrifying conditions. Another vet tried to save her , but it was too late, she died.

Today the dog - tomorrow ...?
August 30, 2011 - Belgrade - On a kids Facebook profile from Zajecar set yesterday a morbid picture of a white dog's severed head on a stump and in the background you can see a bloody sack of flesh protruding from where the animals were killed.
Appalled and shocked people who have seen this photo on Facebook immediately reacted and told our editorial board. Some have entered the debate with this "monster" and wondered why and how could you do such a thing.
The kid (15) who graduated from eighth grade explained with a "smile" that this was his first American staffordshire. The kid says that he was about to throw the dog into the river Timok, when the dog tried to bite him and therefore he had to cut off the dog's head
His parents was shocked (?), claim to know nothing about it. The boy's mother said in an interview for Blic that it can be hard to always control a teenage and know exactly what they doing.
The boy's father said his son was attacked by the dog 2009 and since then has probably a trauma. It was a birthday party for a friend, and the son argues that the picture was taken and shown on the internet because he wanted to be important in the society. What will the Serbian authorities do about it? – their usual – probably, absolutely nothing. Source
(2011) The puppies were first drowned and then hanged in a tree.
New victims are everywhere - The view of animals as sentient beings that can feel pain - appears to be missing completely. Animals are tortured to death every day, and unfortunately many of the tormentors are children.
Animal cruelty is not taken seriously by many parents and implemented many times over from the older generations. Serbia is in urgent need of a permanent school education in animal ethics, morals and welfare laws. Serbia must also work to ensure the existing animal protection laws are followed. Belgrade the capital of Serbia: There is no heaven for animals in Belgrade, but there is no killing of stray animals in Belgrade any more. The City authorities donate food to private shelters in Belgrade, and since 2010 the City finances veterinary care for all those animals. Belgrade Zoo hygiene catch stray dogs, neuter them, de-worm, vaccinate and return to their settlements.
The killing of stray animals outside Belgrade must be stopped immediately and local authorities have to start with the implementation of the programs of neutering of stray animals.
They also have to build city shelters for animals that are not able to survive on the street (old, sick, weak dogs and cats), and they have to organize adopting campaigns.
Serbian society is tolerant to the abusing of animals that must be recognized as socially deviant behavior that leads to interpersonal violence. Citizens of all age groups must be educated about the respect and care for animals. Activists rescue stray animals, treat them, neuter, find new homes for them investing their time, energy and own money, without any help from the local authorities or the state.
On the other hand, there are many officials that don’t care about laws, and certainly not about animals. Many of them still promote killing as the only way to resolve the problem. During last decades, stray animals have been caught and euthanized in dog pounds. But, there was the constant number of them on the streets.
(2011) - a little puppy found beaten and tortured in a container, animal friends took the puppy urgently to the vet, but it was too late, the puppy was too badly wounded and died in the waiting room - this happens every day in Serbia and in European countries that have stray animals - people stop respecting animals and expose them for all sorts of atrocities.

KILLING OF STRAY ANIMALS IS FORBIDDEN IN SERBIA by Serbian Criminal Law, Article 269/2006, the Decision of Serbian Constitutional Court IU 27/2007, and Serbian Animal Welfare Law 2009. Local regulations that allow killing of stray animals are not legal because they are not harmonized with the Animal Welfare Law of the Republic of Serbia. Serbian Animal Welfare Law (Article 15) says clearly about cases in which humane euthanasia can be performed. The word euthanasia cannot be a synonym for the word killing. Euthanasia cannot be communal activity, because it is a very serious medical intervention that must be performed by experts and only legally.
The consistent implementation of neutering of stray, but also owners’ dogs and cats, together with chipping and registering of all animals are measures that can provide limiting of the growth of stray animals’ population. Neutering is the simplest and most effective measure for limiting the number of stray animals and the best prevention for spreading infectious diseases.
If stray animals are neutered and brought back to their settlements, animals that are not neutered do not come to those places and there are no newborn dogs and cats.
If a stray animal is neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed and registered and if there are people who feed her or him, such an animal will be able to have a kind of decent life.
Other kinds of strategies cannot be considered legal and civilized, and they reflect old values and beliefs! Serbian Animal Welfare Law says clearly that animals are sentiment beings that must be protected - source (fb)

Grim tools that the dogcatcher use and that harms or even kills the dogs.
Dogcatcher in brutal action. Many dogs are severely injured or even killed by dogcatcher, who sees and treats abandoned companion animals as vermin.
