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.

  • Civil society groups argue climate crisis means transport sector needs to urgently reduce its carbon emissions

    Dozens of civil society groups have demanded the UK government do more to promote cycling and walking, after this summer’s extreme heat exposed the desperate need to decarbonise transport.

    This summer’s heatwaves and wildfires were “immediate, real-world manifestations of the climate emergency”, the groups said, making reform of transport – responsible for more carbon emissions than any other sector in the UK – an urgent priority.

  • Research finds demand has more than doubled since 2000 and 80% of current demand comes from Asia

    A booming demand for concrete has resulted in sand and gravel being extracted from riverbeds faster than nature can replenish it. A study published in Reviews of Geophysics shows that the demand for sand and gravel has more than doubled in the last two decades, with overextraction leading to weaker riverbanks, lower groundwater levels, coastal salt intrusion and poorer water quality.

    In 2024, city-building and infrastructure projects around the world turned 28bn tonnes of sand and gravel into concrete. Researchers reviewed data on sand and gravel extraction going back to 1974 and have shown that since 2000 demand has more than doubled, with more than 80% of current demand coming from Asia, supporting urban development and road-building across China and India in particular. They found much of the material was being extracted from rivers across Asia and Africa. Data on extraction is scarce but where it does exist the researchers showed that extraction often exceeded natural sediment replacement severalfold.

  • Even low levels of traffic noise can negate the benefits of listening to natural sounds, researchers say

    Hearing the trill or whistle of a bird while going about daily life is well known to boost people’s mood. But a new study suggests the psychological benefits of hearing birdsong are being threatened by traffic noise.

    Researchers found that even low levels of traffic noise negatively affected the benefits to wellbeing that could otherwise be derived from listening to natural sounds.

  • Protests and petitions planned amid growing concerns over impact of climate crisis on numbers of Alpine rodent

    Animal rights campaigners are gearing up for protests and petitions aimed at persuading the French government to ban the hunting of Alpine marmots.

    Open season on the rodents, members of the squirrel and groundhog family, begins in September, a few weeks before they go into a long winter hibernation.

  • Asturias, Spain: Wild Finca is thrilling in its ecological abundance, and was created in just eight years despite countless obstacles

    On a rocky 13-hectare pocket in the foothills of the Picos de Europa, Luke Massey and Katie Stacey are raising children, dogs, cattle, chicken, ducks, geese and eyebrows. In their eight years here, the farm they call Wild Finca has become a mass of scrub, with scattered large trees and dozens of clearings that Luke calls fields, but which look more like tiny irregular glades, riddled with trails and hemmed all around by the blackthorn, gorse and bramble that has sprung up around the tumbled remains of drystone walls.

    If Wild Finca is a forever home to the Massey-Staceys, it is a whole world to nature. Witness the butterflies and wasp spiders, the snakes, lizards, hedgehogs and sparrows, and the thousand-piece cricket orchestra that performs each evening as the glow-worms light up. It offers denning and roosting sites for foxes, pine martens, badgers and 17 species of bat, feeding opportunities for roe deer and wild boar, several species of eagle and vulture, and a pit stop for others such as the nightingale I heard singing in early morning mist.

  • Exclusive: Economic harm of CO2 pollution from Rosebank and Jackdaw forecast to far outweigh any boost to UK

    The climate damage caused by developing the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields under consideration by the UK government would destroy their economic benefits many times over, according to an analysis.

    It estimates the economic damage caused by the carbon pollution from the oil and gas produced would be between £119bn and £336bn in the coming decades, compared with the £28.7bn in value to the UK estimated by Adura, the fossil fuel company promoting the new fields.

  • There has been a 76% increase in under-construction gas-fired projects amid ‘frenzy’ to build more datacenters

    The US has surged ahead of China in the building of new gas-fired power generation, largely to feed a boom in artificial intelligence (AI) that is adding vast amounts of planet-heating emissions, a new analysis has found.

    For decades, China’s rapid economic growth has seen it outpace the US in the addition of new gas power generation but a recent “frenzy” in datacenter construction for AI has reversed this, said Global Energy Monitor (Gem) in its new report.

  • Robert Corrigan has been dealing with the ‘smart’ rodents all his life – and believes there are better solutions to deal with the growing infestation in the world’s cities

    “The rodents have paid for every single bill I’ve ever had – every mortgage, every car payment, every pint of Guinness,” says Dr Robert Corrigan. “It’s been a great ride and I’m still at it.”

    New York-based Corrigan is one of the most respected voices in the world of rodentology. Now in his 70s, he has devoted his entire adult life to studying rats and our relationship with them.

  • There are countless initiatives around the world that can inspire people and spur them into action. Amid the devastation of the climate crisis, our journalists strive to highlight these stories of hope

    The news is very often about the bad things (especially if you’re on the Guardian’s environment desk). Wildfires, floods, tipping points, billionaires making huge profits and buying themselves island refuges for the apocalypse … And yet, ticking along beside that is the steady pulse of what the rest of humanity is doing in response to the climate crisis. From housing developments with no cars to buildings made out of hemp, all over the planet people are ploughing ahead and changing their neighbourhoods and cities and the world.

    But as news stories typically need to be about new developments or things people didn’t previously know about, it can be hard to cover all those brilliant initiatives being undertaken in the background – no matter how cheering they are. Which is why, back in 2023, we decided to ignore the usual rules about what constitutes “news” and start writing about them anyway. Readers, we knew, would like to hear about them.

  • MVRDV – the firm behind Marble Arch Mound – says Rotterdam ROCKS! will inspire visitors to live sustainably. But in an era when the greenest building is the one that already exists, this tottering cairn looks set to misfire

    ‘It looks like something Shrek would throw up,” sniffed one online commentator, unflatteringly comparing Rotterdam ROCKS!, the recently unveiled proposal for a waterfront site in Europe’s largest port, with the vomitings of a cartoon ogre. Designed by Dutch architectural firm MVRDV, which gave London the supremely underwhelming Marble Arch Mound in 2021, Rotterdam ROCKS! (the use of EMPHATIC CAPITALS connoting an in-your-face energy) is the winner of a major architectural competition intended to create “a new world wonder”.

    But instead of a modern Hanging Gardens of Babylon or contemporary Colossus of Rhodes, MVRDV’s super slick renderings depict a pile of artificial “rocks” (or ROCKS!) stacked together in a humongously scaled tottering cairn, wreathed in suspiciously luxuriant foliage and sluiced by a preposterous waterfall.
