Unedited email from Serbian animal welfare organisation. Dear friends of animals all over the world: help Tausend and tausend dogs and cats be killed, allthou in Serbia persist article 269.of Criminal Code, in which it have written that everybody who kill animals will be punished. The Society friends of animals FRIEND and The Society for protect and welfare of animals ARKA insist by Public attorney general,Mr.Slobodan Jankovic and by Prime minister of Government,Mr.Vojislav Kostunica , on used articles 269.of Criminal Code of Serbia,but there is now contraeffect- represions on this two organisations. The Society of Friends of Animals, Friend, is in very difficult situation. In Serbia we fight together with The Society for Protection and Welfare of Animals, Arka, against the Government, who wants to kill all animals on the street. Nobody is asking,where these animals without chips and tattoos are coming from.The government wants them to be killed and in every Serbian city there are companies killing these dogs for about 50 euro per killed dog.It is the money of the city governments. In the Criminal Code of Serbia, article 269 paragraph 2, there is written,that killing animals is to be puniched with imprisonment. But the reality is absolute different. In this situation only our two organisations insists on article 269 of Criminal Code, but since today it have not effect. The Society of Friends of Animals, Friend, have a no kill dog shelter and are protecting 450 dogs befor rehoming its.We tray rescue dogs from slaughter. The government insists us to pay now 3046 euro for vaccination of 450 dogs in our dog shelter, allthou it has Law of veterinary in which write that antirabies vaccination is pay from Serbian states budget and it is for free for shelters and owners of dogs. We ourselves have not so much money and asked other organizations for help. OIPA-Organizazzione internazionale Protezione animali, from Italy donates to our shelter 400 doses antirabies vaccines,16 December 2005. Thak you very much to OIPA, but the vaccines are still at Surcin airport in Belgrade, because the government wants us to pay for Italian donation, and after we had pay, they wrote that vaccine is not good and that we cannot become its and our money too. So we have not vaccines-donation and we have not our money. And they wrote that if we insist on vaccines donation we will be punished. Vet inspectors insists on vaccination or all dogs in shelter will be killed, and we will be punished. This is very stupid and bizzar situation, and for dogs in shelter very danger. Mr Dejan Krnjaic, director of veterinary in Serbian Government, demand us to vaccinate the dogs but on the otherside he is responsible that we cannot get the donated vaccines. Mr.Dejan Krnjaic and his collaborates said to us: "If you want protect animals ,you must pay!" Allthou he know that we are nonprofit organisation. It is such a stupide and bizarre situation. I spoke about the dog problem, but for every kind of animals the situation in Serbia is very,very hard. Serbia is one place for cruelty to all animals. "Arka" and "Friend" are very represed by the government. The government wants to destroy our two organisations.This represion is in form: that nobody in Serbia may not to give donation for dog shelter "Friend" in Subotica. So we need help from all over the world. Protest letters to the responsible places could be a chance for our work and for the animals in Serbia. The Government must respect article 269. of the Criminal Code of Serbia. They must stop with repression against the animals and our organisations.
