We the undersigned wish to issue and register a formal complaint to the European Union Commission regarding animal welfare atrocities perpetrated by the Serbian Authorities. They (the Serbian authorities) stand accused of acts in contravention of their own current Serbian Legislation Article 269.
These acts involve wilful and planned slaughter of thousands of dogs and cats in contravention of Article 46; Article 138; of the Veterinary Legal Code. Article 269 of the Criminal Code of Serbia states that any person guilty of acting in contravention of the Criminal Code, is liable of up to 3 (three) years imprisonment, if found guilty of illegal slaughter of animals and cruelty. These animals are collected by dog catchers (named 'shinters' ) specially employed for the task by the local authorities. Once caught both dogs and cats are held captive together and they may be kept locked in cages without food and water for several days. This often results in aggressive and destructive behaviour, with cannibalism being the result of starvation. Hygiene in relation to the caaptive animals welfare during detention is also very much an issue of concern. The animals are eventually put to death.
