Ljubav psića

Objavljeno u Ljubimci

Sreća se umiješala kada je jednog vrućeg srpanjskog dana na pustoši pokraj Splita psić prepušten sudbini.

Srpanj 2017. bio je vruć i svaka izgubljena životinja ili napuštena bez vode u to vrijeme, vjerojatno ne bih preživjela zbog dehidracije. 24. srpnja posjetila sam dr. Zdenku Filipović u njezinoj ordinaciji u Splitu. Dr. Filipović pomogla je Eco Hvaru da uspješno udomi pse, uglavnom u Njemačkoj, i razgovarali smo o daljnjoj suradnji, kada se na vratima pojavio mladi par noseći malo klupko krzna.

Bila je to tužna priča. Hodali su teško prohodnim terenom na istočnom rubu Splita, kad su čuli zvuk uplakanog psića. Uspjeli su ga pronaći, a potom su dva sata pretraživali područje ne bi li vidjeli ima li traga vlasniku ili možda nekom drugom napuštenom psiću. Ovaj je bio sam i preplašen, pa su ga uzeli sa sobom. Pazili su na njega u svojoj kamp kućici do sljedećeg dana. Nakon toga su se malo raspitali i to ih je dovelo do dr. Filipovića, koji vodi no-kill sklonište Animalis Centrum u Kaštel Sućurcu, zapadno od Splita.

Prihvaćajući svoju sudbinu, štene je bilo vrlo tiho i najslađe moguće. Njegovi su spasitelji govorili njemački, uz nešto engleskog, nama zajedničkog jezika. Dok je dr. Filipović pripremala papirologiju za prihvaćanje psića, mlada je gospođica počela plakati. Pitala sam je zašto, a ona mi je objasnila da ne može razumjeti kako netko može tako okrutno napustiti tako lijepo stvorenje. Njezina je tuga bila potpuno razumljiva. Nijedan ljubitelj životinja ne može se pomiriti s načinima na koje se neki ljudi ponašaju prema životinjama, koji variraju od bezosjećajnosti i bezbrižnosti do okrutnosti, a ponekad čak i sadizma. Pokušala sam je utješiti ističući da su sigurno spasili psiću život; bio je tako drag da mu neće biti teško pronaći dom. Nastavila je plakati. Onda sam pitala zašto ga ne zadrže, jer su se očito vezali za njega, a on je jednako očito sretan s njima. Bilo je mnogo praktičnih razloga zašto to nije bilo moguće. Složili su hrabar izraz lica i rezignirano odlučili ostaviti štene u skloništu.

I tako su sve formalnosti obavljene, a štene je ostalo, i dalje tiho i dalje prihvaćajući. Svi smo otišli svojim putem. Uputila sam se u trajektnu luku, gdje sam na svoj užas ustanovila da je trajekt, iako sam stigla sat i pol prije polaska u 14:30, bio prepun za moj auto. To je značilo da smo ja i moja četveronožna pratnja Nada bili osuđeni na još dva i pol sata dugog čekanja prije nego što nas trajekt u 17 sati odnese kući. Bilo je prevruće da bismo igdje hodali i auto je trebao stajati u koloni, pa nismo imali izbora nego ostati i mi. Imali smo dovoljno vode, a ja sam sjenilom prekrila auto i otvorila ga laganom, dobrodošlom povjetarcu koji je ublažio vrućinu. Imali smo sreće, pogotovo s obzirom na mnoge druge. Nažalost, Dalmacija je tijekom ljeta 2017. izraz 'paklena vrućina' shvatila doslovno. Veliki požari gorjeli su nedaleko od Splita, a kanaderi su zaposleno letjeli iznad glava u neprestanoj procesiji, pokušavajući ih dovesti pod kontrolom. Vidjeti ovaj koordinirani napor iz sigurnosti splitske luke bio je podsjetnik koliko je Hrvatska sretna što ima izvrsne, predane i dobro obučene vatrogasce, od kojih su mnogi dobrovoljci koji posvećuju puno vlastitog vremena i energije tijekom cijele godine kako bi bili spremni za hitne intervencije.

Sljedećeg dana, 25. srpnja, bio je blagdan svetog Jakova, zaštitnika Pitava, i ja sam se probijala do seoske crkve na posebnu slavljeničku misu i procesiju, kad sam primila neočekivani telefonski poziv. Jučerašnji spasioci odlučili su ipak ponijeti psića kući sa sobom. Odmah sam kontaktirala sklonište za životinje dr. Filipovića i nastalo je veselje. Diana i Stefan otišli su po psića koji se sada zove Grey (Sivi). Zasigurno se dočekao na nogama i pronašao pravu ljubav.

Napravljene su putne isprave i sve potrebne pripreme za njegova cijepljenja, a nekoliko dana kasnije Grey je otišao u svoj novi život u Njemačkoj.

Eco Hvar oduševljeno prima nove poruke u intervalima, koje potvrđuju sreću svih strana. Svaka poruka je vibrirala radošću, pa tako i email primljen 23. kolovoza 2017., gotovo mjesec dana nakon spašavanja: "slobodno objavite slike i priču o Greyu na svojoj web stranici. Nastavit ćemo vas obavještavati o razvoju Greya. Sjajan je pas i jako nam je drago što smo ga prihvatili u svoju obitelj !!! Sve najbolje, Diana & Stefan“.

Sretna priča, zbog koje je Eco Hvaru drago biti uključen u akcijama spašavanja životinja. Toliko je toga čemu ne možemo pomoći, ali jedno je uspješno spašavanje ogromna naknada.

Baš kao što Grey nagrađuje svoje spasitelje bezuvjetnom ljubavlju koju sretan ljubimac pruža, Eco Hvar je nagrađen ljubavlju koju šire svi uključeni. HVALA, DIANA I STEFAN! Sklonište Animalis Centrum objavilo je status zahvale na svojoj Facebook stranici.

  • UK opening new oil and gas fields would imperil global climate goals, experts say

    Senior climate figures warn North Sea drilling would encourage fossil fuel exploitation by developing countries

    Opening new oil and gas fields in the North Sea would “send a shock wave around the world”, imperilling international climate targets, undermining the UK’s climate leadership and encouraging developing countries to exploit their own fossil fuel reserves, experts have warned.

    The UK government is under stiff pressure from the oil industry, the Conservatives, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party, some trade unions and parts of the Treasury to give the green light to new oil and gas fields, despite clear evidence that doing so would not cut prices and would have almost no effect on imports.

  • ‘Should it all just be renationalised?’ – your water crisis questions answered

    Sandra Laville has been reporting on England’s sewage crisis for years. She answered your questions on the water privatisation scandal.

    Guardian environment correspondent Sandra Laville’s reporting on the sewage crisis in English water has helped to expose a scandal of privatisation that has created a swell of fury across the political divide.

    Sandra has now finished answering your questions. Read the Q&A below.

    The government has put the cost of renationalising water at £100bn. But this is a disputed figure. Academics working with the People’s Commission on the Water Sector say this figure is ‘serious scaremongering created on biased evidence’ which was paid for by water companies. It is based on the Regulatory Capital Value of companies as determined by Ofwat, not the” true and fair value in law”, which reflects losses from market failures, like the cost of pollution or the monopoly profits taken by shareholders and banks.

    The route to renationalisation could come via the system set up legally when the companies were privatised. Under the law companies can be put into special administration if they are unable to pay debts, if they breach licence obligations, such as on sewage pollution, or failing to supply water, and if it is considered in the public interest to do so. Special administration is a form of temporary renationalisation.

    This is the million dollar question! While tackling separation across the whole network at once is considered too disruptive and costly, particularly in urban environments, the chartered institute of water and environmental management says moving towards separated systems is their key focus to address urban pollution and storm water sewage releases. New developments, for example, are now mandated to have separate pipes for foul wastewater and surface water run off.

    They also want to see the increased use of sustainable drainage systems like water butts, and storage basins for existing properties, to reduce the amount of runoff into the system. Keeping gardens rather than paving them over, and creating so called sponge cities is also key to tackling pollution.

    The UK was described as the dirty man of Europe back in the 70s and 80s, due to levels of pollution. For example in coastal towns there were no water treatment plants to treat sewage, raw sewage was just pumped and dumped into the sea. It was only when the EU directives came in that the clean up began. Chief amongst these was the Urban Wastewater directive, the Water Framework directive, and the Bathing Water directive.

    Since leaving the EU there have been fears that these pieces of legislation could be watered down. James Bevan, as CEO of the Environment Agency, talked about changing the Water Framework Directive, essentially to make it easier for rivers to pass tests for chemical and biological health. Currently no river is rated as in good overall health under the WFD where rivers have to pass both chemical and biological health tests.

  • Say no to pesticides, mix up your lawn – and six more ways to help bees to thrive

    Like so many flying insects, these essential pollinators are suffering because of habitat loss and the overuse of chemicals. Here’s how to give them a healthier, happier home

    We know about honeybees and bumblebees, but most of the UK’s bees are neither: they’re solitary bees, loners who come in a dizzying range of sizes, colours and varieties – more than 240 species. Have you heard, for instance, of the hairy-footed flower bee? “They’re one of the first bees to emerge each year,” says Laura Larkin, the chief conservation officer at Buglife. “The males have got fantastic little fluffy bits on their feet.”

    How about leaf-cutter bees, which chomp “a perfectly circular hole” out of leaves to build their nests? Or bright-orange tawny mining bees, wool-carder bees, ivy bees? “There are so many of them and I’m still learning,” says Kate Bradbury, a wildlife gardener, writer, bee lover and the author of One Garden Against the World. “They’re just great – there’s a solitary bee for every occasion.”

  • ‘The water is no longer our friend’: how dredging is pushing Lagos Lagoon towards ecosystem collapse – photo essay

    Taking sand from the Nigerian city’s lagoon to supply a building boom harms more than fish – it affects the entire food chain, erodes coastlines and is depriving fishing communities of their livelihoods

    Before dawn, when the noise of Lagos’s danfobusesfills the air and generators rumble to life, the city’s lagoon is already stirring. Not from fish splashing or canoes gliding, but from the long suction pipes of the dredging machines, pulling up the lagoon bed and spitting out wet sand that will be used in the construction of high-rise blocks, housing estates and flyovers.

    Sand dredging is regulated by the Lagos state government and the waterways authority but in a city of more than 20 million people, where sharp sand has never been in higher demand, not all dredging is being done by the book.

    Dredging leaves its mark on the landscape along the shores of the Lagos Lagoon in Epe

  • Oil slick from bombed Iranian ship threatens protected wetland

    Shahid Bagheri leaking fuel towards Hara mangrove forest, home to migrating birds and endangered turtles

    An oil slick from a stricken Iranian ship threatens to contaminate one of the Middle East’s most important wetlands, satellite image analysis suggests, making it one of a number of spills posing a risk to the livelihoods of coastal communities in the Gulf.

    The Shahid Bagheri, a drone carrier, began leaking heavy fuel oil in Iranian territorial waters near the strait of Hormuz after it was hit by a US warplane in the first few days of the US-Israel attack on Iran.

  • Birdwatch: Climbing to 4,400 metres to spot a rare rufous-bellied seedsnipe

    Our writer travels to the eastern Andes in search of one of Ecuador’s most elusive birds

    I’m out of breath – and not just because I’m desperate to see one of Ecuador’s most elusive birds, the rufous-bellied seedsnipe. To have any chance of success, I’ve come to Cayambe Coca national park in the eastern Andes. At 4,400 metres (14,400 feet), this is the highest altitude I have ever experienced.

    Fortunately the skies are clear, the sun is shining, and my guide, Juan Carlos, is optimistic. I don’t tell him I have a track record of missing nailed-on certainties.

  • Country diary: Watching the cows, chewing on memories of protest and parenting | Nicola Chester

    Woolton Hill, Hampshire: I visit an old friend in an old haunt, where a small herd of Shetlands has been set to work

    Thirty years on from the impassioned action of the road protests, the Newbury bypass soars above us on the old railway embankment. I can’t entirely accept it even now, having been part of the campaign. Today, walking in The Chase, the nature reserve that lies adjacent, the roar of traffic slips into a background hum, aided by other memories I’ve built up here.

    Many of those have been with my dearest friend, Sarah. She volunteers as a “cow watcher” for the National Trust, and I’ve come with her as she checks their whereabouts and wellbeing. They are conservation grazers; keeping coarser scrub in check, spreading seed and poaching areas, and encouraging greater biodiversity and plantlife.

  • Cars make way for bikes as Sydney commuters saddle up to circumvent ‘crazy’ fuel costs

    The shock of the oil crisis is playing out on Australian streets, where bike sales are up and cycle lanes are busier

    Before the 1970s global oil crisis, city planners in Copenhagen were considering removing bike lanes. Bicycles were considered outdated now car was king, and just 10% of locals were cycling regularly.

    But as economic shock waves reverberated around the world, Denmark, which almost entirely relied on imported oil, took a dramatic U-turn, with citizens staging mass protests in the middle of highways demanding better cycling infrastructure.

  • ‘All we can do now is pray they continue’: Maasai welcome the first rains but know that drought is far from over

    Harsh weather is nothing new in Kenya but the country’s climate is showing clear signs of getting hotter and drier

    The day is hot and dry but the soil underfoot is soft. “After four months of drought, we received the first rains yesterday,” says Maasai elder Abraham Kampalei. “All we can do now is pray that they continue.”

    Kampalei has lived for more than 50 of his 70 years with his family and animals in Oldonyonyokie, a hamlet in southern Kenya’s Kajiado county. He has witnessed the slow decline of the pastures. “I came here because of the abundance of grass for my livestock to graze. Today, there is almost nothing left of it,” he says.

  • ‘I escaped death a lot of times’: one man’s lifelong work protecting gorillas and communities in Congo

    As a child, Dominique Bikaba, was displaced by a new national park in the DRC. Now he is helping to secure land for wildlife and Indigenous groups against the backdrop of ongoing fighting

    Mist hangs low over the forested slopes of Kahuzi-Biega national park, where the canopy still shelters one of the last strongholds of the eastern lowland, or Grauer’s, gorilla. It is a landscape of immense biological wealth and equally immense political fragility. For 54-year-old Dominique Bikaba, it was once home.

    His family was among those displaced when their ancestral land was incorporated into the park in the 1970s. The protected area, in the lowlands of South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), harbours elephants and a remarkable range of wildlife, but it is best known as the principal home of the Grauer’s gorilla, the largest subspecies of primates, known to grow up to 250kg (39st) in weight. It is one of five great ape species found in the DRC’s vast forests, including mountain gorillas, which are also found in other parts of the Great Lakes region, such as Rwanda and Uganda.
