Animal Webaction launched a campaign to collect food for the in Prnjavor. There are over 700 dogs in this shelter and food and medical care are only provided by outside donors, even though this is a ‘public shelter’. The Government only covers a one-time fee that barely covers vaccinations. They have an amazing advocate, Bojan Veselica, and he along with supporters have managed to do a lot for the dogs and to try to make the shelter safe, but without food, the situation is impossible. The dogs come from a hard life as strays on the streets of Prnjavor, Samac, Celinac, Modrica and other cities in Northern Bosnia. Others are surrendered by their heartless owners after a life on a chain because they are too old or got sick. All of them have one thing in common: they need to eat to survive.
More than 150 dogs find warm and loving homes each year and Bojan is working on increasing these numbers. But he needs help to keep them safe until then. Animal Webaction is a four day ‘action’ that allows people to either donate money for food, or to simply click the campaign, without donating anything. You have four free clicks per day, With each click you donate 1 gram of food for the dogs. A great many clicks will be needed to reach the goal of over 4000 Kilo in four days and if the goal isn’t raised, the shelter will not get anything. So please help. If you share this campaign with your friends on Facebook and Instagram, I am sure the campaign will succeed! This would be such a big help for Bojan and the dogs.
So please, starting now, click, share and help!!

The situation there is utterly dire, Vučko is but one amongst many horrifically abused animals. Even just one dollar or one euro will help make a difference.
Municipality authorities have been financing an illegal killing pound that is owned by the municipality utility company. In this place stray dogs do not have water, food or adequate accommodation. They freeze in winter or they are exposed to extremely high temperatures in summer while municipality funds meant for food and veterinary services are never given to the dogs; instead of helping and feeding stray dogs, the authorities get rid of them and the money is divided between the municipality authorities and the utility company under Sana management. Hunters are one group of dog killers who are paid by the municipality authorities.
After 2009, the Act on Protection and Welfare of Animals came into force and hunters began killing stray animal secretly.
Police, prosecutors and veterinary and hunting inspectors are obliged to investigate and stop these crimes, but corruption and political involvement stop implementation of the laws.
Both dogs were found on the dump site and both dogs had multiple gunshot wounds in their legs and hind part of their bodies.

Activists and citizens are patrolling the cities trying to find the perpetrators and to collect as much poison as they can to prevent further deaths, but it seems a “mission impossible” because poison is everywhere and more and more dogs and cats are dying every day.
Huge media attention followed the demonstrations, and documented their aftermath. Approximately 2000 citizens, activists, volunteers, politicians, and guests from

The shelter was opened in 2012 despite the fact that it was not built in accordance with the provisions of the Bosnian Act on Protection and Welfare of Animals nor the Ordinance on establishing and conditions that shelters for stray animals must fulfil,
Also, it was illegal to sign a contract with the owner of Praca without public contract award procedures.
Two very important ordinances were legislated in 2010: ordinances on establishing shelters and the conditions that shelters for stray animals and hygienic services must fulfil.
We believe thousands of dogs have been killed or have died of hunger and diseases in Praca since 2012. Preliminary information from an “investigation source” tells us that more than 2 million Euros has been allocated for dogs from the budget of Canton Sarajevo, but this money has never been used for food, veterinary care or improving conditions in the shelter. Money has disappeared into the pockets of the authorities of Canton Sarajevo.
P.C. Veterinary station Ltd. Sarajevo, Veterinary Inspection of Canton Sarajevo and the Veterinary faculty of the University of Sarajevo are conducting a project called “Monitoring of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases of Zoonotic Type of the Population of Stray dogs in Sarajevo“. This project is the instigator of a mass action concerning catching and removal of stray dogs.
According to provisions of the animal welfare laws of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it’s prohibited to kill dogs that can treated and cured by veterinarians. Also, according the provisions, it is strictly prohibited to experiment on stray animals.
It is important to emphasise that 68,205.00 Euros is allocated for this one project, a project that is used as a ‘reason’ for the mass removal of stray dogs from the streets of Sarajevo. Hundreds of thousands of Euros are allocated for the hygienic services as well as for shelters – both of which are not running in accordance with the laws – and these funds will be laundered through these hygienic services and shelters which deal inhumanely with the animals. These hygienic services and shelters receive funding for food, medications, treatment, and the catching of stray animals, but the animals do not receive any of this.
Activists take and re-home as many dogs as it is possible but still it is not known what has happened to more than 1000 dogs from Praca.
More than 50 activists were in Praca last Sunday. When they arrived, they saw police there. Someone, and that someone surely was the owner of Praca and his coordinator, told the police that they organised an unorthorised demonstration. I explained to the police officer that according to Ordinance of establishing of shelters and conditions that shelters for stray animals must fulfill, everyone is allowed to visit the shelter every day and that the coordinator (Hamdo Alic) had wanted to cause problems because there were so many of us. When we entered into Praca, we saw horror that activists had been seeing for months…

This illegal hygienic service invoices for food, medications, veterinary services, placement, fuel, and catching of dogs for placement in shelters. Note that these invoices are for dogs that are dead, killed by the service.
According to provisions of the Act on Protection and Welfare of Animals every municipality is obliged to establish and finance shelters for stray animals as well as hygienic services that are obliged to catch and transport stray animals to the veterinary stations and shelters.
The Mayor of Breza, Munib Zaimovic, issued an illegal decision to engage dog catchers of Lokom to catch and kill dogs in Breza. Also, he signed a contract with PC Veterinary station of Novi Grad. Lokom dog catchers have been trying to catch dogs in Breza since then.
Animal welfare advocates face evil in its worst form; they face the most evil people and witness what evil people can do to innocent and helpless creatures.
Bosnian post – war society is generally mentally ill. There is a mass diagnosis of PTSD and people must accept the fact that most of them haven’t dealt with personal traumas in the right way. The problem is Bosnian people generally think that they know everything. Unfortunately, there is no less educated and less self-aware population in Europe who thinks that they can solve everything in this world.
If you ask me, we have turned into a psychopathic society. The level of frustration by living in this complicated and as some say cursed country is increasing all the time, but Bosnian people are passive. They are always passive towards those who harass them so they have turned their aggression onto animals.
Not only does public debate presents animals as demons (mostly dogs), people are treating animals like demons and there is an increasing number of cases of animal abuse done by individuals – not only by hunters or authorities.
Animal abusers are rarely mentally ill people, but animal abuse is a symptom of severe mental disorder. The mentally ill are rarely aware of the consequences of their actions, while mentally disturbed people are aware of their actions and their consequences. Animal abusers are psychopaths who intentionally know what they do and who are fully aware of their actions and the consequences, but do not empathize with other living beings. The most important thing for them is to be satisfied by expressing power and control over the helpless creature and thus cure their frustrations and / or complexes.

her neck. The vet says it must have been like this for at least 15 days. They said that in this condition she would have survived for 2 days maximum. She is only 17kg and she should have been at least 30kg. She is just skin and bones, my soul is hurting over her. Sadly I couldn’t find her babies, but I will go back for them. I hope they didn’t die on the high traffic street because the lady that is there hasn’t seen them for 2 says. This is a horror and such abuse on a helpless little thing and it never ends… Every day something new and it just makes you crazy.”
Sweet Felicity is shy but she let Edina touch her, she didn’t try to bite, she didn’t growl. She knew she was being taken to safety, she knew she was going to be helped.
Edina needs your help. There are veterinary costs, and pension costs, and for her puppies too if they can be found. And most importantly, Felicity needs a home. Please contact Edina via her 
Please share this blog, we must tell the world what terrible things are happening to the strays of Bosnia. Reports of animal cruelty are amongst the highest of all countries. This abuse must stop, and we must help these poor animals and show them that not all people are tortures.
