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.

  • Cop31 live: ‘Fossil fuels must go the way of the dinosaurs’ - UN chief hits out at industry lobbying

    Third day of UN talks begin but leaders of many big polluting nations absent

    After a couple of hosts provide us a bit of background on Antalya (founded in 200BC, apparently) it is time to hear from António Guterres, the outgoing secretary-general of the UN, who will probably not be dancing.

    Guterres starts by praising Turkey for the “excellent organization” of the Cop, which gets smattering of applause and perhaps a few raised eyebrows given the transport nightmares endured by attenders.

  • Why are Britain's streets still so polluted? Because the car industry dinosaurs do what they like, and politicians let them | George Monbiot

    The transition to electric vehicles should be moving apace, but it is not. And why? Incompetence, expedience and cowardice

    This is how it works. An industry puts tremendous effort into resisting change: lobbying governments, mobilising the media, pouring money into junktanks. It argues that a transition would threaten jobs, or damage the national interest, or harm poor people, while what it really fears is the cost of retooling its plants or developing new protocols. Then, when the inevitable cliff edge approaches, it whines that change is coming too soon. For reasons beyond its control, it isn’t ready, so the government must delay its plans.

    This is what triggered the Dutch nitrate crisis, and the UK’s repeated “emergency” exemptions from the ban on a devastating class of pesticides. Now the same dynamic is driving the UK’s crisis over the transition to electric vehicles (EVs). The result is that, as the global climate summit, Cop31, begins, it looks as if our gift to the world will be a major, predictable and entirely avoidable increase in the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions.

  • Bird flu has caused catastrophic die-offs – could a wave of extinctions follow?

    As the IUCN global conservation body prepares to update its red list of endangered species, scientists explain why calculating the true toll of a pandemic is so hard

    It began with the brown skuas. The migratory seabirds had arrived on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia in 2023, harbouring a deadly passenger. Within months, the southern elephant seals that had come ashore to breed became sick. Mothers and newborn pups were weak and trembling, with many struggling to breathe. What followed was a horrific mass casualty event, caused by the highly infectious avian influenza (H5N1).

    By 2025, more than 53,000 female elephant seals had died on South Georgia. That is especially alarming, scientists say, because the island is home to more than half of the global breeding population.

  • Humble house sparrows roosting in Spain evoke a childhood memory

    Forget the hoopoes and the ring-necked parakeets, the highlight of our trip was a sound I hadn’t heard for 50 years

    As dusk falls on a warm October evening, I gradually become aware of a strange, high-pitched sizzling noise. From our table outside a busy bar, with Spaniards celebrating their national holiday, it reminds me of water carelessly tossed into a scorching frying pan.

    I approach a bougainvillea bush decked with rich purple flowers, and the collective clamour separates into distinct notes. I realise I am listening to hundreds – perhaps thousands – of house sparrows, each bird calling frantically to their companions as they gather to roost for the night. It’s a sound I haven’t heard for more than 50 years.

  • Thousands of rare wildflowers rescued from eroding Scottish coast

    Conservationists relocate 3,400 one-flowered wintergreens, a species estimated to have lost more than half its UK population in the past 50 years

    Thousands of one of Britain’s rarest wildflowers have been moved to safety from an eroding Scottish shoreline where they were at risk of falling into the sea.

    Conservationists rescued 3,400 one-flowered wintergreen plants at Culbin Forest in Moray, in an effort to protect a species estimated to have lost more than half its UK population in the past 50 years.

  • Country diary: Could this be the most beautiful fungus in the UK? | Sarah Lambert

    Upwood, Cambridgeshire: This woodland is a stronghold for elm trees – and that brings the prospect of finding a stunning rarity, the wrinkled peach

    Above me, a lively breeze moves through the tall elms, branches creaking between gusts. Most of the crowns look healthy, but a few stand skeletal against the sky, suggesting Dutch elm disease. Below them, the woodland floor is scattered with fallen trunks. I find pale bonnet fungi rising from the mossy bark and the frilled fans of tripe fungus. Where older logs have shed their bark, the exposed wood is marked by elm bark beetle etchings (or “galleries”) and the emergence holes of deadwood beetles.

    Raveley Wood is one of a chain of small, elm-rich woods along the Cambridgeshire fen edge. I’m here searching for wrinkled peach, a contender for Britain’s most beautiful mushroom: it has a salmon-pink cap, delicately wrinkled, and gills of the same shade. Ruddy-orange, jewel-like droplets often gather on its stem, a process known as guttation.

  • Alien menace or victim of xenophobia? The battle over Britain’s parakeets

    Established in UK cities for decades and much loved for their green plumage, the Himalayan birds have been recast as an ecological threat. But is the idea of invasive species itself a problem?

    Before we saw a single parakeet, we heard them: a disembodied static that grew louder as we approached Hither Green cemetery in south-east London. It was an early evening in late June, and we had come to witness an invasion. By the time my friend and I reached the cemetery’s western edge, the clamour was all-encompassing. We hopped the fence and picked our way through the gravestones. Above us now were the birds themselves, their kryptonite-green plumage, scab-red beaks, pearly black collars and trailing tail feathers unmistakable: Psittacula krameri, the ring-necked parakeet.

    Hither Green cemetery hosts one of the city’s largest roosts. Every day at dusk, a sizeable chunk of London’s feral parakeet population returns here, to a specific line of poplars. They like to spend the night in the company of their own kind. We watched them come first in ones and twos, and then in larger chirrupping squadrons. Hundreds of them, and then thousands. At maximum capacity, the trees fizzed. Here was a pandemonium, a parakeet concourse. It gave the impression of community, greeting and conversation. “This,” my friend said, “would make a great cheap first date.”

  • Cop31: what is at stake at the UN climate summit and what can it achieve?

    Delegates from more than 190 countries are gathering in Turkey for climate talks, but the US will be absent

    As the planet faces unprecedented human-caused global heating, heads of government are meeting for the next fortnight for the latest round of climate talks. We ask why it matters and what is likely to be achieved.

  • Cop31 must deliver climate progress that people can see is real, host says

    High-stakes talks involving 190 countries begin on Monday as world grapples with El Niño supercharged by fossil fuels

    The Cop31 summit must produce progress, “a tangible outcome... that people can see is real”, its host has said as scores of world leaders and representatives of close to 190 countries gather in Turkey for the UN climate talks.

    The high-stakes meeting begins on Monday, as countries around the world grapple with the strongest El Niño weather system on record, supercharged by fossil fuels, which is set to take hundreds of thousands of lives and cause damage costing trillions of dollars.

  • Who’s who at Cop31: key players at the climate talks

    What are the relationships and dominant interests in play, as the summit kicks off after a bitter row over its hosting?

    Hosting Cop was a key pledge from Australia’s prime minister, Anthony Albanese in 2021, while in opposition, before his successful election campaign. But arcane rules meant the country had to wait its turn to bid and was then embroiled in an angry row with Turkey over the hosting. The final compromise put Australia in charge of the negotiations which will take place in the Turkish city of Antalya. The bitter taste left by the row lingers and Australia has seemed to some a rather half-hearted host. The country’s media has been much quieter on Cop than previous host countries, and although Albanese will speak at the opening of the leaders’ segment, he is unlikely to stay long.
