Sv. Rok, Zaštitnik Pasa

Objavljeno u Ljubimci

Blagdan sv. Roka je 16. kolovoza. Sv. Rok je zaštitnik Starog Grada - i pasa.

 
Svaka priča ima barem dvije strane, čak i više. Jedan susjed se žalio našoj Udruzi u vezi tih jadnih pasa:

Ovo je e-mail upit putem http://www.eco-hvar.com/ od:  XXX.
Moj susjed ima kuju i štenadi o kojima se nemože brinuti kao ni o sebi. Životinje se pate a o susjedi su uznemireni . Molim da mi se javite. Hvala. D., 18.07.2014.
Odgovor: Hvala na mailu, ali nije mi jasno što namjeravate napraviti u vezi pasa kod Vašeg susjeda? Eco Hvar 20.07.2014.
Štovani, Mi imamo problem sa smradom, izmetom i dlakama koje sa susjedove terase lete na nas stol za rucavanje. Psi su u jako lošem stanju puni krpelja i buha, neuhranjeni. Smješteni su na susjedovoj terasi na najvećem suncu i laju i cvile bez vode. Postoji li kakva institucija koja ih moze udomiti ili nesto slično? D., 21.07.2014.
 
 
 
Odgovor: Poštovani gospodine XXX, Hvala na mailu i širjem objašnjenju. Žao mi da imate takav problem sa psima od susjeda. Nažalost nema skloništa sve do Šibenika. Doduše, pretpostavljam da vlasniku tih pasa bi bilo žao ako njegovi psi su njemu oduzeti silom. Ne znam da li ste razgovarali sa vlasnikom? Da li znate kako se zove? Jedno rješenje bi bilo da Vi dajete hranu i vodu tim psima sve dok ste tu. Barem tako bi prestali lajati. Mi namjeravamo stvoriti sklonište za životinje n Hvaru, ali procedure će trajati. U međuvremenu, imamo namjeru stvoriti privatno prostor di bismo mogli smjestiti takve pse, ali moramo još graditi ogradu i kučice. Bilo bi dobro ako možete mi reći gdje ste u Hvaru, i kako se zove susjed. Ipak možemo pokušati naći neko rješenje za Vaš problem. S poštovanjem, Eco Hvar 21.07.2014.
Gospodin se zove Dragan živimo u Starigradu kod svetog Petra . Razgovarao sam sa vlasnikom i on je voljan dati pse ako ih tko želi . Poštovanje   Best regards D., 21.07.2014.
Odgovor: Hvala još jednom na pažnju. Bilo bi dobro ako nam možete dati broj telefona ili prezime i adresu za tog Dragana, tako da možemo njega kontaktirati, ako nađemo neko rješenje za pse u budućnosti. Žao mi da nemamo odmah rješenje, ali ovdje na otoku je vrlo teško napraviti dobre uvjete za životinja. Lijepi pozdrav, Eco Hvar 22.07.2014.
 
 
Bog Gospodin nema telefon. Dragan živi u Starigradu kod svetog Petra . Dovoljno je kad dodjete da bilo koga upitate za njega u susjedstvu . Ja sa obitelji živim u inozemstvu ali svake godine ljetujemo u svojoj kući i zadnjih par godina je mučenje a ne odmor, ova godina je neizdrživo teško .  Hvala na razumijevanju. Best regards D., 22.07.2014.

Odgovor: Večeras sam bila u Starom Gradu, i sam imala priliku doznati malo više o tim jadnim psima. Ćula sam da jedna gospođa se brine za njih, ukoliko daje njima hranu i vodu, a da su preuzeli korake da bi njih smjestili u skloništu na kopnu. Razgovarat ću sa tom gospođom sutra ako nju dobijem, da znam više iz prve ruke. Lijepi pozdrav, Eco Hvar 23.07.2014.

Gospođa Vesna Lupi se brinula za te pse. Njezin sin Dinko je napisao sljedeći dirljiv tekst na Feisu (tekst je prepisan ovdje uz dozvolu):

" Moj susjed i prijatelj iz djetinstva u Starom Gradu na Hvaru živi na rubu siromaštva. Jedan je od onih koji se nisu snašli u životu punom nedaća, bijede i bolesti. Rijetki su mještani koji mu pomažu, a daleko je više onih koji mu se rugaju, upiru u njega prstom i govore djeci da ga se klone. Jedina radost u njegovom životu bio je Čof, psić kojeg je pronašao i usvojio. Kada biste ga pitali kakvo je to ime, odgovorio bi da ga je dao u čast grčkom filozofu Čofoklu. Kasnije se ispostavilo da je Čof ženka. Tijekom tjeranja ovog proljeća, Čof je pobjegla, i kao rezultat te svoje avanture u svibnju okotila sedam divnih psića. Nijednom psiću nikada nije dao ime, osim Blanki, divnoj čokoladno smeđoj ženki koja se izdvajala po nevjerojatno visokim skokovima u mjestu, kad bi joj se nosila hrana. Osam pasa u kući siromašnog čovjeka navuklo je nevjerojatan gnjev mještana. A on, njihov vlasnik, bio je presretan.

Vjerojatno je po prvi put u životu osjetio što znači imati oko sebe živa bića koja vole. Istina zbog svojih nevolja, on se nije previše mogao brinuti o njima, pa je njihovo hranjenje na sebe preuzela moja mama, koja je time na sebe navukla nevjerojatno okrutne optužbe mještana. Izgleda da je običaj mrziti siromašne i neuspješne, a pogotovo njihove pse i one koji im pomažu. To se potvrdilo i noćas oko tri sata ujutro kada su svi psi otrovani. Ugibali su u najtežim mukama pred očima vlasnika kojeg je glasno gušenje pasa probudilo. Prva je uginula Čof. Glava joj je bila potpuno izobličena, a njuškica prekrivena pjenom. Jedan za drugim odlazili su i psići, a Blanka se najduže borila da preživi, no na kraju uginula je i ona. Susjed plače i zapomaže cijeli dan. Moja mama je izvan sebe. Rijetki su oni mještani koji misle da se noćas u Starom Gradu na Hvaru dogodila tragedija. Puno je više onih koji misle da je tako trebalo biti. "

Novinar Mirko Crnčević je također pisao o događaju u 'Slobodnoj Dalmaciji', i istaknuo kako su ti psi bili 'jedina radost' siromašnog Dragana Silića.

Nama u Udruzi Eco Hvar je izuzetno žao što smo nemoćni u ovakvoj situaciji. Očito treba hitno sklonište za životinje na otoku. Nadležne vlasti svakako bi trebale voditi inicijativu za pomoć životinjama. I hrvatski Zakon o zaštiti životinja bi se trebao poštivati - ili poništiti ako nije u funkciji.

 

 

Ljubiteljima ljubimaca nije shvatlivo ni prihvatljivo da netko može njih mučiti ili ubiti bez srama niti milosti. Takvo kazneno djelo je razlog za tugu i za ljutnju. Ali je također prilika za oproštenje. Kad oprostima onima koji nam zlo naprave, to je prava pobjeda dobra nad zlom.

  • John Ray, 17th-century botanist who coined words petal and pollen, was a tutor at Cambridge when he created his first garden

    He coined the terms petal and pollen, helped to lay the foundations of modern biology and is widely regarded as the greatest English naturalist of the 17th century.

    But it was while he was a young college tutor at Cambridge in the 1650s that the botanist John Ray – also known as “the father of natural history” – created his first known garden and began to systematically study plants for the first time.

  • Nottinghamshire tree, one of Europe’s oldest and largest, fails to produce leaves after being stressed by series of hot, dry summers

    The Major oak, one of Europe’s oldest, largest and most celebrated ancient trees, has died.

    The huge tree, which has grown in Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire, England, for at least 1,000 years, failed to produce any leaves this year, after becoming stressed by a series of hot, dry summers.

  • The Biodiversity Heritage Library is an invaluable online archive of historic texts on species living and lost supplied by the world’s leading museums and universities. Now its future is in doubt

    Some go there to read about the wood that Victorian manufacturers used to make walking sticks. Others want to see an illustration of a Tasmanian tiger or marvel at the field diary of one of the first known botanists to explore the Antarctic.

    Over the past 20 years, more than 64m pages have been made freely available through the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) – a digital treasure trove for fans of the natural world. More than 680 museums, universities, libraries and scientific institutions from China, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand to Europe, Africa, Mexico, Canada and the US, have contributed to the library.

  • More than half of Ayetoro – a Christian utopia founded in the 1940s – has been lost to the ocean, and its remaining people are running out of options

    In the early hours of 15 February 2019, the Atlantic Ocean came for Arowo Victoria’s livelihood. The 60-year-old retired midwife was asleep when neighbours began banging on her door, shouting that the sea had started covering buildings along the nearby coastline.

    By the time she got to her small shop, she discovered that the Atlantic had already swept it away, destroying the business she had built with borrowed money after retirement.

  • We are told the natural world is ‘breaking down’. But forests don’t work like aeroplanes or human hearts

    The Amazon rainforest, according to a 2021 study, is losing its capacity as a carbon sink and now emits more than it absorbs. In the tropics, marine scientists are reporting that coral reefs are in decline, threatening fish stocks. Equally concerning is research into the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (Amoc), a vast system of ocean currents that helps regulate the climate and is at risk of collapsing this century. The entire global ecosystem appears to be losing its ability to function.

    We find this view in newspapers, magazines, technical reports and the journals of learned societies. But thinking about the environment in terms of its functions is also how many of us tend to understand the world. We may think that forests exist to produce oxygen, wetlands to filter water and bees to pollinate our crops.

    Of special interest to humanity is the relationship of biodiversity to the variety of services provided by ecosystems and, in particular, to the stability of the flow of those services, such as the maintenance of the gaseous composition of the atmosphere, preservation of soils, recycling of nutrients and provision of food from the sea.

  • Warmer winters and springs are drying out wetlands and the birds are missing out on an abundance of insects to eat

    When we think of spring migrant birds, it is easy to focus on songbirds such as warblers, flycatchers and swallows. Yet during late spring, many are waders – passing through Britain on their way north to breed in the high Arctic from their winter quarters in sub-Saharan Africa.

    According to the British Trust for Ornithology’s regular migration blog, it has been a good year for waders: including more common species such as ringed and grey plovers, bar-tailed godwit, sanderling and knot.

  • Blackwater Estuary, Essex: Near a vast sweep of flats and creeks, one small pool has become a destination for both me and a parade of shore birds

    I saw in this summer with the brief stays of Arctic-bound birds. Waders from the south came in such number and variety to my local patch near Tollesbury that for one week in May I went down to the marsh every dawn and dusk. I went to watch and feel the motion of it all at the turn of tide and time. Everything was change.

    They kept coming, new species every day, ready to leave even as they arrived at this pool in the north-east corner of a field by the vast sweep of flats and creeks that give Essex more coastline than any other county in England.

  • Many small-scale landowners now include conservation measures alongside everyday farming. But progress is precarious, and the threat of guerrilla violence and poverty remain whichever candidate wins

    Like most people settling in the area, Pablo Peña was seeking to escape violence and make a living from a patch of land when he moved to Guaviare in central Colombia. While his life has been strongly marked by conflict and deforestation, more than 30 years on he now focuses on community work and conservation.

    Peña first visited Guaviare during his mandatory military service. Years later, in 1994, he settled down to farm in Guaviare’s Calamar, a town in a remote corner of the Amazon.

  • London Tree Ring project aims to create corridors of plant and animal life around the city to strengthen its biodiversity

    Harry Ewing is heaping branches and foliage from the forest floor on to a dead hedge, reinforcing the protective circle around his newly planted trees in Hadley Wood, north London. He is in a glade created by a fallen oak that was previously overrun with thick bramble.

    “I feel very happy – the trees are growing already. It’s really nice seeing it when it starts,” says Ewing.

  • Scientists are returning to a wartime solution that may be more sustainable than the traditional rubber tree

    There is a global shortage of natural rubber and dandelions may be coming to the rescue. In the second world war there was such a severe shortage of rubber that the Allies used the Russian dandelion, Taraxacum koksaghyz, from Kazakhstan. Soviet scientists found the dandelion roots produced enough white milky latex to make natural rubber, but when the war ended producers returned to the traditional rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis.

    But the demand for rubber is now increasing, with rubber trees suffering from a fungal disease and the impacts of extreme weather caused by the climate crisis. So, scientists are looking again at using dandelions, with the added benefit that they grow in temperate climates, are a sustainable crop that do not need pesticides and lots of water, and don’t lead to the deforestation common in tropical rubber tree plantations.
