PETITIONS not specifically for Bosnia Herzegovina
Petition for abandoned and stray dogs in Europe
Petition demanding a common, humane and long-term solution for the abandoned (stray) dogs in Europe
EU, when do you think it is time to act?
When the EU presented their new animal welfare strategy for 2012 – 2015 a few months later, the deception was great because that document does not contain one single mention as to how and when the EU would start to tackle the stray animals issue within the European Union.
Stop Hunting Stray Dogs in Serbia (Facebook group with petition letter details)
While trying to join the European Union, Serbia was forced to legislate some laws that regulated protection and care for the animals welfare. In accordance to this, ttrategy for solving the problem of stray dogs was made in Belgrade. Even though the strategy was adopted, it wasn`t fully implemented either by law or by humanity, as being indicated by many examples. The rest of the background you can read on English and Serbian language at the following link: http://straydogserbia.blogspot.com/
European Commission: Ban the chaining of dogs in the EU!
In 2012, keeping dogs chained is unfortunately still an all too common practice in many European countries. Kept “out of sight, out of mind” in the back yard or as a guard dog to alarm his/her owner when someone comes, chained dogs are forced to live chained up their entire life.
Stop The Torture And Consumption Of Dogs And Cats In South Korea
The practice of killing and consuming dogs and cats, whether for food or so-called “health tonics,” is not part of some long-standing cultural tradition. In fact, most South Koreans find the cruelty and killing appalling. Yet it continues because it is backed by profound government indifference, and because profit-driven industry forces aggressively promote the myth that the more dogs suffer in death, the greater virility a man will experience when he eats the flesh.
Stop Raccoon Dogs Being Skinned Alive in China for fake Ugg Boots
Wendy Higgins from the Humane Society International HSI UK said: ‘I have been working in animal rights for more than a decade and have never seen a video that has shocked me so much. ‘It is not just the killing of the animals that is horrific, but the fact that they must endure such slow, painful deaths.’

I will never trust or mess with people behaving like monsters with cats and dogs !!! OUT OF EUROPE
I agree, they are heartless
Sono d’accordo anch’io. Ma questa soluzione isolerebbe ancora di più i massacratori, i quali continuerebbero indisturbati a torturare e a uccidere animali innocenti.
Occorrono Leggi, interventi, sanzioni severe. Occorre che gli Ambasciatori europei presenti sul territorio denuncino questi assurdi massacri. E soprattutto occorre che l’essere umano sia VERAMENTE umano e che noi, che amiamo, proteggiamo e rispettiamo ogni forma di vita, non dimentichiamo mai un solo giorno gli orrori che accadono, proprio accanto a noi. Il Pianeta Terra non è “piccolo”; il male che viene perpetrato a qualche migliaio di chilometri dalle nostre case si insinua dentro esse, se noi chiudiamo i nostri occhi, se noi dimentichiamo.
Stop killing animals, animal do have feelings like humans. all animal deserve a good life. from a owner of 2 dogs.
Animals are the most loyal and will love you unconditional, you wont see an animal start shooting at human because they think that they are a nuisance. Humans need to learn from animals as they are the most sinless. This is all about money. Money kills

Ti ljudi sto to rade zivotinjama I trose pare namjenjene za zivotinje na druge gluposti bi trebali da budu baceni medju gladne vukove I da njima ista bude sudbina ko sto I ovim jadnim psima do sada sto su pocrkali, Takvi ljudi su gori od najgorijih zivotinja I oni nemaju ni srama ni milosti. Karma ce im naplatiti za sve grehove
