SOS for Serbian AnimalsJELENA'S SHELTER IN NIS, SERBIA - http://www.dzznis.org.rs/
 Please sign the petition to end the suffering
Serbia is a country that has gone through the turmoil of war and unrest and still has a very long way to go. What suffers most in a country like this is the animal population, and in Serbia they are suffering terribly for the sins of men. Dogs were abandoned during the time of conflict and they survived as best they could and continued to breed in their thousands. Now they are considered a pest by the Serbian authorities and are hunted, poisoned and stabbed to death. There is hysteria about the threat of rabies, even though many animals have been vaccinated. There is much hate and fear of dogs. Just ordinary loving dogs that would make excellent family pets are rounded up by the shinters - dog catchers employed by the government to catch and eventually kill dogs by inhumane means. 
 In the midst of all this horror are a few people who are trying to make a difference and working to change the cruelty in their country. One of these people is Jelena Kostic with whom. Jelena has a sanctuary for dogs and cats rescued from the dog catchers, and those that are dumped at her gates. REMEMBER THERE IS NO RSPCA OR PDSA IN SERBIA. In a comfortable society we have a duty to help countries like Serbia to get a proper, humane system of animal care off the ground. By others outside of Serbia helping Jelena, raising awareness, more local people are becoming involved with looking after the animals and more local people are making donations. It is very hard because lots of people in Serbia are very poor, BUT THEYARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
They have a programme of neutering, building shelters, kennels and sending money for food and veterinary care . Please visit the pages of the website and see the individual animals that have been helped. Jelena has over 300 dogs in her care and she needs to build more shelters for them, many of them are still on chains. The aim is to get all the dogs off chains, into large enclosures and neutered so that they can be together in groups. One of the realities of life in Serbia is the amount of suffering caused by unneutered dogs giving birth to puppies on the streets. Some people take puppies and dump them in the countryside where of course they have no chance at all. The dogs that live on the streets of Nis are vulnerable to disease, starvation and being injured in car accidents. One of the dogs that were rescued had lain badly injured at the side of the road for 3 days whilst his owner trundled past daily on his tractor! This brave young dog has had many operations and had to have his leg amputated. Thanks to SOS for Serbian Animals he is now living in his forever home in Canada!! There is still much to do to help the Serbian animals. There is a programme of neutering, building enclosures and insulated kennels, paying veterinary expenses and paying for food. Serbia is so opposed to dogs, treating them like vermin and rounding them up in inhumane ways to incarcerate them and then kill them. They shoot them, poison them, stab them to death and fear and hate them! Changing attitudes and work is going on with other groups to pressurise the Serbian Authorities to implement proper humane animal welfare. There is no RSPCA or PDSA in Serbia, it is a very poor country that is just overcoming the aftermath of dreadful wars. But there are a few compassionate people and they need your help as they strive to make a difference and to change people's attitudes to animals. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world; indeed it is the only thing that ever has. Margaret Mead |
