STRAY ANIMALS FROM SMEDEREVO ARE GOING TO LABORATORIES

While most of the world enact laws with strict standards for experiments on animals, in Serbian town Smederevo happened quite the opposite situation. The City Government legitimized experiments on stray dogs and cats!!!

SAMPLE LETTER

Pišem Vam kako bih izrazila duboku zabrinutost za životinje u Smederevu, a povodom vesti

SKUPŠTINA GRADA SMEDEREVA OZAKONILA JE EKSPERIMENTE NAD PSIMA I MAČKAMA LUTALICAMA

Dok se u svetu donose stroge norme koje ograničavaju eksperimente nad životinjama, Skupština grada Smedereva ozakonjuje zlostavljanje zivotinja! Zasto???

U Clanu 40, koji se tiče uhvaćenih pasa i mačaka lutalica, odnosno njihove sudbine nakon hvatanja se kaze: "Nakon isteka roka iz člana 35. i 38. ove Odluke, UHVAĆENI I ODUZETI PSI I MAČKE MOGU DA SE USTUPE NAUČNOISTRAŽIVACKIM I DRUGIM USTANOVAMA, pravnom ili fizičkom licu, uz naknadu troskova hvatanja, prevoza i cuvanja, uz prethodnu saglasnost veterinarskog inspektora. Psi i macke iz stava 3. ovog clana, pre ustupanja moraju da budu pregledani, vakcinisani, kastrirani, odnosno sterilisani i obelezeni na odgovarajuci nacin."

Naucnici su odavno izasli iz Mračnog Doba u kojem se zivotinje jos uvek muce u ime nauke. U svetu se danas koriste alternativne metode koje su mnogo preciznije, jeftinije i zahtevaju manje vremena.

Dr. Charles Mayo, osnivač Klinike Mayo, izjavio je sedeće, "Prezirem vivisekciju. Trebalo bi je barem staviti pod kontrolu. Ili još bolje, u potpunosti ukinuti. Ne poznajem nijedan napredak učinjen pomoću vivisekcije, nijedno naučno otkriće do kog se ne bi moglo doći bez takvog varvarstva i okrutnosti. Cela ta stvar je zla."

Clan 42. Zakona o dobrobiti zivotinja izricito kaze:
OGLED NAD ZIVOTINJAMA SE NE SME SPROVODITI U SLUCAJU: NAPUSTENIH ZIVOTINJA, ODNOSNO ZIVOTINJA IZ PRIHVATILISTA.

Molim Vas da postujete postojeci Zakon o dobrobiti zivotinja i da problem pasa i mačaka lutalica resavate na human nacin, tj. u skladu sa postojecim Zakonom.

S postovanjem

I am writing to express my deep concern for the animals in Smederevo, refers to the news

SMEDEREVO CITY GOVERNMENT LEGALIZED EXPERIMENTS ON STRAY DOGS AND CATS

While the world makes strict rules limiting experiments on animals, the City Government of Smederevo legalized animal cruelty! Why???

In Section 40, which concerns the captured stray dogs and cats, and their fate after catching it says:
"After the deadline referred to 35 and 38 of this Decision, CAUGHT AND SEIZED DOGS AND CATS CAN BE ASSIGNED TO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS."
(Whole text in Serbian: "Nakon isteka roka iz člana 35. i 38. ove Odluke, UHVAĆENI I ODUZETI PSI I MAČKE MOGU DA SE USTUPE NAUČNOISTRAŽIVACKIM I DRUGIM USTANOVAMA, pravnom ili fizičkom licu, uz naknadu troskova hvatanja, prevoza i cuvanja, uz prethodnu saglasnost veterinarskog inspektora. Psi i macke iz stava 3. ovog clana, pre ustupanja moraju da budu pregledani, vakcinisani, kastrirani, odnosno sterilisani i obelezeni na odgovarajuci nacin.")

Scientists are long time out of the Dark Ages where animals are tortured in the name of science. In today world existing alternative methods which are more accurate and less expensive.

Dr. Charles Mayo, founder of the Mayo Clinic, said, "I abhor vivisection. It should at least be curbed. Better, it should be abolished. I know of no achievement through vivisection, no scientific discovery, that could not have been obtained without such barbarism and cruelty. The whole thing is evil."

Article 42 of the Serbian Animal Welfare Low explicitly states:
THE EXPERIMENT OF THE ANIMAL SHOULD NOT BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE CASE OF: ABANDONED ANIMALS AND ANIMALS FROM SHELTERS.
(Text in Serbian: OGLED NAD ZIVOTINJAMA SE NE SME SPROVODITI U SLUCAJU: NAPUSTENIH ZIVOTINJA, ODNOSNO ZIVOTINJA IZ PRIHVATILISTA.

Please respect the Animal Welfare Low. The problem of stray dogs and cats you must solve in humane way and in accordance with this Law.

Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals,

and the answer is: "Because the animals are like us."

Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment

on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not

like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction.
