Dear friends,

 

Animals from Belgrade need you!!!

Will this ever STOP???!!!

 

 

September 17. 2005. near ARENA where the

2005. Basketball Championship is taking place,

11 dead bodies of Dogs were found, some where still

slowly dying... in aghony....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This round facility that is rising behind these sand

dunes is ARENA' where basketball championship is taking place in Belgrade.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on this photo-

one Dog is still alive (on top of the sand dune)

and the other one is dead (on the bottom of this dune)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Dalmatinan female was slowly dying by aghonising

death on the sidewalk, while «the game is ON»

She lived in this neigbourhood 6 years

(one russian woman left her on the street 7 years ago...)

She did not represent a treath to citizens!!!

 

 

 

 

This dear female was still alive, while our reporter was

taking these disturbing photos....

 

Veterinian *that came to crime scene with dog

catchers, instead to take her to ambulance- or to give her help on the

sight,

he throwed her in dog catchers truck!!! Some Vet. !!???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This same Vet. attacked our reporter and tried to take

her camera!

He even pusshed her on sand (and she is old enough to be

his mother)!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poison-lead to most painfull death. These poor dogs died

in aghony, in horrific pain and fear!!

 

 

And its not just Dogs that died, Birds and other Animals

are affected also.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

City officials are «washing hands» of

this vicious, barbarious act!

They are acting like they dont know whats going on...

 

But it's well known fact that firm EKO SAN is

poisoning our beloved ones for long time and this same firm got this job from

city officials!

 

Why do they hate Animals so much?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These Dogs were not agressive and did not represent

treath to citizens!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This pile of

garbage (100 meters behind ARENA)

 

 

-did not

bother them- but Dogs did!??

Letter

Historically,

Serbia 's war ended ten years ago. However evidence shows that a war continues;

only this time it is a war against Companion Animals (Dogs and Cats). Thousands

of animals have been inhumanely rounded up, tortured, hanged, shot, beaten with

sticks and rocks, burned and poisoned in order to make Belgrade's streets

pristine for your 2005 European Basketball championship, causing this sporting

event to be smeared with blood. Serbian officials have ignored the cries and

pleas of individuals in Serbia and worldwide to halt these atrocities and

implement better animal welfare laws and policies. Since this savage massacre

was caused by the preparations for your sporting event, I would ask you and the

sponsors of the 2005 FIBA Eurochampionships to denounce these atrocities

publicly. I would also ask that you urge the Serbian government to cease the

brutal round up of animals, legislate and enforce better animal welfare laws

and implement a sterilization (spay / neuter) program for all companion animals

living on the streets throughout Serbia. We appreciate your help in this cause.

Open Letter

 

Mr. President,

 

 

A few weeks prior to the European Basket Championship to

be held in Belgrade , I wish to draw your attention to the brutal practice of

the City authorities aimed at eliminating the stray animals before this sports

event.

 

I suppose that you are aware of the death squadrons

moving around the city and searching for animals in order to poison a great

many of them, the animals that used to be fed and fondled by their numerous

protectors. Substances like detergents and others, which are used for their

killing, cause unbearable suffering and agony. Moreover, those innocent beings

have become objects of lower instincts of a part of the population to which, as

it seems, the brutal torturing of animals is a source of sadistic satisfaction.

 

 

This is impermissible in view of the fact that Belgrade

authorities contacted my Foundation back in 2002 asking help in terms that the

Foundation provide funds necessary for sterilization, vaccination and

identification of hundreds of stray dogs, with a view to adopting a humane and

civilized method. Today, continuous massacres have made the City of Belgrade a

theatre of horror. Numerous dogs have not managed to escape the poisoning,

crippling and other forms of maltreatment.

 

Last April, I wrote to Mr. Boris Tadic, President of

Serbia, asking him to condemn such barbarous behaviour and to support the

sterilization campaign. Today, I am writing to you as it is not human that

organization of the European Championship requires a high toll in lives of

dogs. There is nothing that can justify such barbarous «cleansing».

 

 

I am confident that the support of the Basketball

Federation to the sterilization campaign of dogs and the raising of its voice

against the senseless genocide will have an important echo in the public

opinion and with the authorities. Only by providing regular information and by

working constantly on developing the feeling for this issue can we stir up

sympathy and a change in the mentality and behaviour towards animals. It is my

deep belief that you can participate in, and contribute to such evolution. I

wholeheartedly hope to be able to count with your support in this respect.

 

Hoping you will show respect for my opinion and act

accordingly please accept, Mr. President, my most sincere regards.

 

I also wish much success to your national team in the

forthcoming European Basketball Championship - " Euro2005 " .

 

Brigitte BARDOT

President

 

PRESS RELEASE

MASSACRE OF STRAY ANIMALS IN BELGRADE IN THE NAME OF

SPORTS

 

Between 16 and 25 September 2005 Belgrade will be

hosting the European Basketball Championship - «EUROBASKET 2005».

 

Unfortunately, organization of such events is accompanied

by the sufferings, agony and massacre since the city authorities have decided

to intensify the extermination of the Capital's stray dogs. Thus, hundreds of

dogs are killed every week in the name of sports!

 

Like many other organizations worldwide, Mrs. Brigitte

Bardot whose Foundation financed in Belgrade in 2002 the campaign of Belgrade

stray dogs sterilization and vaccination, is joining the disclosure and

condemnation of such barbarous behaviour.

 

After writing to Serbia's President Tadic in April this

year asking him to exercise his authority so as to have such torturing of the

man's best friend brought to end, Madame Bardot is writing today to Mr. Miodrag

BABIÆ, President of the Basketball Federation of Serbia and Montenegro and to

Mr. Ivan MAIMIMA, his French colleague, to raise their voices against such

brutal «cleansing», but also to advocate the campaigns of

sterilization as the only humane, efficient and sustainable mode for preventing

the reproduction of the stray dogs population.

 

In parallel with these actions, Brigitte Bardot

Foundation will finance starting from 26 September 2005 a campaign of

disclosing such massacres, by way of billboards in the streets of Belgrade, in

an effort to make the public opinion more sensitive to this specific issue. The

campaign will be carried out in cooperation with the local «Evropska

inicijativa 17» Association.

Ms. Brigitte

BARDOT letter to Serbia's President, Boris Tadic

 

Paris , April 25, 2005

Cabinet of President of Republic Serbia, g. Boris

TADIC

Andricev Venac br. 1, 11 000 BEOGRAD, SERBIA and MONTENEGRO

Open letter

Dear Mr. President,

It's with a bruised heart and a mourning

soul that I appeal to you to end the revolting massacre of Serbia 's stray

animals. A number of accounts, accompanied by photos illustrating the horror of

the cruelties inflicted on these innocent beings, have reached my Foundation.

These accounts denounced the atrocity of the eradication campaigns, led at the

request of the authorities.

Vilified by the media, these dogs and

cats are becoming the scapegoats of a part of your population, which seems to

take sadistic pleasure in savagely torturing them. Equally, death squadrons

methodically patrol each region of Belgrade in order

to mass poison the few survivors of this eradication. The detergents and other

products that are used generate intolerable agony and suffering. Furthermore,

what about the corpses of the dogs whose fur is carefully removed?

I know that your country and people are

attempting to heal wounds, which were inherited from a shameful and violent

war. However, that was ten years ago. Today is the time for the reconstruction

of hearts and a long forgotten humanity.

The knowledge of atrocious acts

committed regularly on stray animals crosses frontiers. Your people have

shown their bloody and criminal behavior towards animals. Your capital is

becoming, like Bucharest , a window of horror. Neither the Belgrade marathon,

nor the 2005 euro basketball can justify this barbaric " cleaning " .

You have the power to change all this and to restore Serbia's dignity.

Push the elaboration of an animal welfare bill, which favors sterilization and

vaccination campaigns for stray animals, similar to Greece and Turkey. Teach

your people that animals, even strays, have the right to our respect and

compassion.

With hope that you hear my cry of

distress, sincerely yours,

Brigitte Bardot, President

If [man] is not to stifle his human feelings, he must practice kindness towards

animals, for he who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with

men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.
