Abandoned dogs in a dog pound

On March 16th 2004 the Zagreb city authorities have decided to close the Zagreb dog pound down for viewing - no potential adopters, no volunteers from the «Save dogs from the dog pound» organisation or journalists are being allowed to see the dogs anymore.

The pound's capacity is 20 cages, each not bigger than 1 square meter. The cages are made of steal, with a steal bottom without holes, and they are washed with gushes of cold water, while the dogs are inside them. The dogs lie in their cages in pools of cold water, urine and feces. Although they hardly move at all, they are skinny due to poor nourishment.

The law about the welfare of animals demands that abandoned dogs are put down after 30 days spent in the pound. Over the past 7 years, the volontary organisaion Druga Prilika (Second Chance) has saved 2.472 dogs and puppies from the pound, by finding them new owners through the media, or taking over the care for the ones that could not be addopted (due to undernourishment, wounded/crippled bodies or antisocial behaviour). Such dogs were being taken from the shelter on their 29th day, and their needs were financed by donators. The Second Chance organisation has never left a single dog to be put down at the pound.

The dogs at the pound are being subjected to experiments. The current experiment being conducted is extraction of blood for TITRA testing.


Napušteni psi u šinteraju

Po odluci gradskih vlasti, zagrebački šinteraj zatvoren je od 16.3.2004 za građane -- udomitelje, volontere akcije Spasimo pse iz šinteraja i novinare.

Kapacitet šinteraja je 20 kaveza, svaki površine jednoga kvadratnog metra. Kavezi su metalni, sa metalnim podom koji nema rupice i peru se šmrkom hladne vode dok su psi u njima. Psi leže u kavezima u vodi, mokraći i izmetu. Psi su, iako se ne kreću, mršavi jer se nedostatno hrane.

Zakonom o dobrobiti životinja regulirano je da se napušteni psi nakon 30 dana držanja u kavezu šinteraja -- usmrćuju. Volonterska udruga Druga prilika u proteklih je sedam godina spasila 2.472 psa i štenaca tako što im je putem medija našla nove vlasnike ili one koji su ostali neudomljeni (zbog neishranjenosti, osakaćenosti, nesocijaliziranosti itd.) 29-og dana preuzela na čuvanje o trošku građana -- donatora. Udruga nikada nije ostavila ni jednoga psa šinterima da ga usmrte.

Na psima iz šinteraja obavljaju se pokusi. Upravo je na njima u tijeku pokus sa vađenjem krvi za titra testiranje.
