Sretan ishod: lovački pas spašen iz jame!

Objavljeno u Ljubimci

Sezona lova na Hvaru traje od listopada do siječnja. Nedjeljom i srijedom lovci izađu na teren sasvojim psima, koji laju neprestano kad nađu tragove plijena.

U listopadu 2020 godine kod Gornjih Pitava na otoku Hvaru događala prava drama, ali na kraju se ipak dogodio happy end. Susanne P., inače članica udruge "Eco Hvar" koja živi u Austriji a ima kuću u tom pitoresknom selu, spasila je odbjeglog lovačkog psa iz jame uz pomoć vatrogasaca. A taj pas je prije toga više od tjedan dana lajao na tom šumskom području, početno se činilo da je tamo nakon nedjeljnog lova ostavljen bez nadzora, kako se to ponekad zna dogoditi, osobito s mladim lovačkim psima.

 

Međutim, kad je pas nastavio lajati s istog mjesta, danju i noći, posumnjalo se da je možda zapeo ili da je za nešto privezan bez odgovarajućih uvjeta. Sretna okolnost je da udruga "Eco Hvar" ima sjedište baš u Gornjim Pitvama, pa je Susane odlučila potražiti psa kad ode u šetnji sa svojom kujicom Poli. Inače, Poli je prava 'Hrvatica', usvojena preko udruge N & N Helping Dogs u Grazu, koja je spasila nju, njezinu mamu, braću i sestre kad su bili odbačeni negdje kod Dubrovnika. Inače, spomenuta udruga se istaknula pomažući životinjama u istočnoj Europi.

Potraga za psom trajala je dva dana, jer je prvog dana kad je Susanne išla prema spomenutom području lajanje prestalo, i to na nekoliko sati. No, drugog dana su ona i Poli uspjele locirati mjesto otkud se lajanje čulo.

Bilo je izuzetno teško doći do psa - kroz potok, po strmom terenu u gustoj šumi, a daleko od puta.... Ali bile su uporne, išle su sve dok nisu pronašle psa koji je zapravo upao u jednu jamu. Nije bila previše duboka, svega 1,50 metara, ali dovoljno da pas nije mogao vani, niti čovjek unutra bez nekakvih ljestvi.

Austrijanka je odmah o događaju obavijestila predsjednicu udruge “Eco Hvar”, Vivian Grisogono, i poslala joj fotografije mobitelom. Naravno, uslijedila je brza reakcija, informacija je prenijeta Tončiju Batošu, lovočuvaru LU otoka Hvara, koji je angažirao vatrogasce da krenu u akciju spašavanja životinje. Zapovjednik DVD-a Jelsa, Roman Radonić, se bez puno razmišljanja s ljestvama uputio do Susanne i Poli, da bi mu ona pokazala gdje je ta jama. Pomoć je čekala više od sat vremena, jer su prilike bile takve da se bojala ako s tog mjesta ode da ga naknadno možda neće ni naći.

Ni Romanu nije bilo baš lako doći do njih makar je mlad i spretan čovjek, a kad je ipak stigao za čas se spustio u jamu i iznio psa vani. Bila je to jedna kuja, dugodlaki istarski gonič, sva prljava i šokirana, ali što je najvažnije bez vidljivih ozljeda. Nekako se s tim lajanjem spasila od smrti, ali tamo zasigurno ne bi mogla biti još dugo, niti preživjeti.

Bila je mirna i očito zahvalna da je spašena. Odmah je smještena na sigurno, dobila je hranu i vodu. Drugog dana članica udruge "Eco Hvar", Sara Radonić, koja ima grooming certifikat, krenula je očistiti kuju od guste bujne dlake, jer od nje gotovo nije mogla otvoriti usta.

Ubrzo se javio njen vlasnik (podatci poznati redakciji), kazavši da je traži već deset dana nakon što je nestala nakon lova i bio je sav sretan da je njegova Dijana napokon pronađena. Po dogovoru, nakon četiri sata čišćenja, kuja mu je vraćena sva čista i uredna, bez vidljivih posljedica od opisane traume.

To nije prvi put da je Dijana nestala, ona je često bježala čim bi joj se ukazala prilika, potvrdio je to i lokalni veterinar rekavši "... Znamo da je kuja sklona bježanju i vrlo se teško vraća doma. I ranije smo bili svjedoci da je nije bilo i po nekoliko dana. Jednom prilikom pobjegla je dok smo cijepili ostale pse kod njenog vlasnika, svi psi su se u vrlo kratkom vremenu vratili, a ona je opet bila pronađena tek nakon 10-tak dana. Smatramo da vlasnik nije uzrok, jer da je onda bi se na isti način ponašali i drugi njegovi psi, prema svemu sudeći kod nje je naglašena lovačka genetika, ona uvijek nešto traži i samo gre naprijed, njoj su potrebne kilometarske šetnje i bez njih jednostavno ne može."

Članovi i simpatizeri udruge "Eco Hvar" presretni su da se i ova saga dobro završila, jer je zaista mogla imati tragičan kraj. Preporuka je da je dobro da psi imaju GPS, jer ih se tako puno lakše može naći kad se izgube. Čest problem je da lovački psi lutaju poslije odrađenog lova, pogotovo ako su tek nedavno dovedeni na škoj, ali istini za volju to se može dogoditi i kućnom ljubimcu kad ide u šetnju sa svojim vlasnikom.

  • ‘Everybody loses’ if production supercharged in country with largest known oil reserves, critics say

    Donald Trump, by dramatically seizing Nicolás Maduro and claiming dominion over Venezuela’s vast oil reserves, has taken his “drill, baby, drill” mantra global. Achieving the president’s dream of supercharging the country’s oil production would be financially challenging – and if fulfilled, would be “terrible for the climate”, experts say.

    Trump has aggressively sought to boost oil and gas production within the US. Now, after the capture and arrest of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, he is seeking to orchestrate a ramp-up of drilling in Venezuela, which has the largest known reserves of oil in the world – equivalent to about 300bn barrels, according to research firm the Energy Institute.

  • Inishowen, County Donegal, Ireland: There’s not much light to play with today, deep in midwinter, but this once-coveted fort still puts on a show

    Maybe it’s the invitation of the slowly lengthening days, but at this time of year I crave a long view. And here, on the approach to the ringfort of Grianán of Aileach, I have it. As the late afternoon sun squints over the fort’s high walls, it’s easy to understand why early medieval monarchs cherished this summit.

    I watch my shadow loping across the heath before my gaze plunges to the Inch Levels reserve, where flocks of wintering whooper swans and greylag geese speckle the flooded fields. I stop for a moment, lingering over the sky’s perfect reflection in the reserve’s brackish lagoon, with Lough Swilly beyond. Not far from here to Ireland’s northernmost edge and the Atlantic Ocean.

  • When rain falls on snow it creates a layer of ice that impedes feeding, which in turn has reduced herds’ birthrates

    Reindeer survive typically harsh Arctic winters by using their specially adapted hooves to scrape through the snow to nibble on the lichen and moss below. But paradoxically a warming climate is making it harder for them to reach this food, and research shows it has led to a drop in reindeer birthrates.

    When rain falls on snow, the snow melts and refreezes, creating layers of ice that make it more difficult for reindeer to scrape through to the fodder below. Climate records going back to 1960 show that warmer winters have resulted in more rain-on-snow events in Arctic regions. By comparing the weather data with reindeer herd birth statistics from Norway and Finland, researchers have shown that birth rates tend to drop in summers that follow winters with lots of rain-on-snow events.

  • Every year a Chinese-dominated flotilla big enough to be seen from space pillages the rich marine life on Mile 201, a largely ungoverned part of the South Atlantic off Argentina

    In a monitoring room in Buenos Aires, a dozen members of the Argentinian coast guard watch giant industrial-fishing ships moving in real time across a set of screens. “Every year, for five or six months, the foreign fleet comes from across the Indian Ocean, from Asian countries, and from the North Atlantic,” says Cdr Mauricio López, of the monitoring department. “It’s creating a serious environmental problem.”

    Just beyond Argentina’s maritime frontier, hundreds of foreign vessels – known as the distant-water fishing fleet – are descending on Mile 201, a largely ungoverned strip of the high seas in the South Atlantic, to plunder its rich marine life. The fleet regularly becomes so big it can be seen from space, looking like a city floating on the sea.

  • Problem at water treatment centre left 24,000 Tunbridge Wells homes without drinking water for two weeks

    A failure at a water treatment centre that left tens of thousands of Kent households without water was foreseen weeks before it happened and could have been stopped, the regulator has said.

    Twenty-four thousand homes in the Tunbridge Wells area were without drinking water for two weeks from 30 November last year due to a failure at the Pembury water treatment centre.

  • Behind the west’s huge appetite for the fruit lies the dark reality of environmental destruction and Indigenous exploitation in Mexico

    I grew up in San Andrés Tziróndaro, a Purépecha community on the shores of Lake Pátzcuaro in the Mexican state of Michoacán. My childhood was shaped by water, forests and music. The lake fed us. The forest protected us. In the afternoons, people gathered in the local square while bands passed through playing pirekua, our traditional music.

    That way of life is now under threat as our land is extracted for profit.

  • Exclusive: From solar subsidies to meat taxes, minority rightwing voices appear to drown out the consensus

    “There may have been a silent majority in favour of windfarms and higher petrol taxes, but if there was, these people were mighty quiet. Essentially, all I ever heard from was people objecting to them.” That was the view of a former UK MP who took part in new research that reveals how significantly British and Belgian politicians underestimate the public’s support for climate action.

    From solar power and energy efficiency to meat taxes and frequent flyer levies, the politicians consistently failed to appreciate people’s appetite for policies that tackle global heating. The misapprehension has real world consequences: those politicians were less willing to vote for or speak up for those policies, according to the study.

  • A year after the Eaton fire, residents returning to Altadena confront lingering contamination and little official clarity

    One year on from the Eaton fire, long after the vicious winds that sent embers cascading from the San Gabriel mountains and the flames that swallowed entire streets, a shadow still hangs over Altadena.

    Construction on new properties is under way, and families whose homes survived the fire have begun to return. But many are grappling with an urgent question: is it safe to be here?

  • Across Africa, baobabs have rich symbolic meaning, but the breakneck expansion of the DRC’s capital has reduced their number in the city centre to one

    The older inhabitants of Kinshasa can remember when trees shaded its main avenues and thick-trunked baobabs stood in front of government offices.

    Jean Mangalibi, 60, from his plant nursery tucked among grey tower blocks, says the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s frenzied expansion has all but erased its greenery. “We’re destroying the city,” he says, over the sound of drilling from a nearby building site.

  • Twenty-five years after I revealed the practices of the industrial food giants, the profits – and dangers – of mass producing meat and milk have only grown

    Cats have long been kept at American dairy farms to kill rats, mice and other rodents. In March 2024, a number of barn cats at dairies in the Texas panhandle started to behave strangely. It was like the opening scene of a horror movie. The cats began to walk in circles obsessively. They became listless and depressed, lost their balance, staggered, had seizures, suffered paralysis and died within a few days of becoming ill. At one dairy in north Texas, two dozen cats developed these odd symptoms; more than half were soon dead. Their bodies showed no unusual signs of injury or disease.

    Dr Barb Petersen, a veterinarian in Amarillo, heard stories about the sick cats. “I went to one of my dairies last week, and all their cats were missing,” a colleague told her. “I couldn’t figure it out – the cats usually come to my vet truck.” For about a month, Petersen had been investigating a mysterious illness among dairy cattle in Texas. Cows were developing a fever, producing less milk, losing weight. The milk they did produce was thick and yellow. The illness was rarely fatal but could last for weeks, and the decline in milk production was hurting local dairy farmers. Petersen sent fluid samples from sick cows to a diagnostic lab at Iowa State University, yet all the tests came back negative for diseases known to infect cattle. She wondered if there might be a connection between the unexplained illnesses of the cats and the cows. She sent the bodies of two dead barn cats to the lab at Iowa State, where their brains were dissected.
