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.

Susanne je čekala više od sat vremena da bi pokazala lokaciju gdje se nalazi pas. Foto: Vivian Grisogono

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.

  • Four-year study warns destabilised marine food webs could jeopardise food security by 2050

    Warming seas around the UK and the wider north-east Atlantic could destabilise marine food webs, weaken ocean health and jeopardise food security by 2050, according to a four-year study.

    Scientists who projected the impact of climate breakdown on four key groups of marine life crucial to maintaining ocean ecosystems in the region said their results challenged assumptions that in middle latitudes, such as the UK, marine biodiversity was likely to increase across the board.

  • With parts of region served by company in severe drought still, regulators give it six weeks to come up with action plan

    Repeated failures by South West Water to tackle leaks are putting customers at higher risks of losing water supplies as parts of the region remain in severe drought, regulators have said.

    In a warning to the privatised company that serves 1.8 million people across the south-west of England, the regulators said it had been failing to meet targets to reduce leaks and repair burst pipes for seven years.

  • A stricken container ship shed tonnes of tiny pellets called nurdles on the west coast. Five years on, locals are counting the cost to marine life and livelihoods

    On the beach in Pamunugama, on Sri Lanka’s west coast, women in uniform work under the scorching sun. They sift through rubbish washed ashore, searching among the usual litter for something much smaller: tiny plastic pellets.

    Five years ago, in May 2021, this same beach was swamped with pellets as smoke rose over the Indian Ocean.

  • Events that deliver about half of global rainfall are getting shorter but more intense, with wide-ranging implications

    The world’s wettest rainstorms produce about half of the global annual rainfall. Now a study shows that these intense downpours have become shorter in duration and fewer in number, compressing the same amount of rain into quicker and more extreme events, with implications for flood and drought risk.

    Chiyuan Miao and colleagues from Beijing Normal University in China analysed daily measurements between 1980 and 2022 from more than 19,000 rain gauges around the world. They found that an average of about half of the world’s rainfall fell during about nine multi-day storms, delivered over a cumulative time of about 28 days.

  • We were promised a panacea for the climate crisis and a way to save our food system. So why is nobody firing up the chicken vats? I went to find out

    On 5 August 2013, a man and a woman ate a burger. Not just any burger: a world-historic burger, made from cattle cells grown in a laboratory by Mark Post, a professor of vascular physiology at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. The burger had taken two years to produce and cost €250,000 (about £210,000 at the time), money furnished by the Google co-founder Sergey Brin. Now it was being tasted in public for the first time at Riverside Studios in London, at an event attended by 200 members of the press and livestreamed to thousands.

    To make this particular burger, Post had extracted stem cells from the shoulder muscle of a living cow, then cultivated them in plastic containers filled with a nutrient-rich supplement called foetal bovine serum, which is derived from cow foetuses. The cells eventually became 20,000 strands of tissue, which in turn became a single 140g patty. Post believed that beef produced this way had the potential to dramatically reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and slow the climate crisis. Raising cattle for consumption requires massive amounts of land and water – and massive amounts of feed grown at a high environmental cost. He projected that global demand for meat would soon outstrip our ability to produce it the old-fashioned way, at which point our food systems would become unsustainable. But that didn’t have to mean a mass recalibration of our consumption habits or a global shift away from red meat. Post and his team had found another way.

  • Liverpool: Their summer flowers provide the name and the fame, but this species is arguably at its best now

    Beech mast crunches underfoot, and the occasional conker catches the sunlight, tiny beacons leading me to Camp Hill, south Liverpool, with its distant views over the Mersey estuary. Goldfinches erupt from desiccated knapweed, and a flock of pink-footed geese fly overhead. For once, the birds are not my goal, but a tree: the tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera).

    Every autumn, the Camp Hill tulip tree flaunts its flamboyant presence: the Lady Gaga of the parkland. Named because its flowers resemble a tulip flower, and its leaves a tulip silhouette, few can resist its tulle lace canopy of butter-gold leaves. The luminescence is enhanced by the sheen of its leaf cuticles, and the fissured trunk adds yet more sensory impact. Yet this year there is a strangeness: instead of the golden monotone you would expect of this moment, there is a messy mix of different shades. Might the summer drought have disrupted the pigment battle between anthocyanins and carotenoids?

  • Ministers urged to go further than proposed cut to 110 decibels to ease acute stress on birds and other animals

    Campaigners are calling on the UK government to protect the welfare of wild animals by cutting the maximum noise level of fireworks sold to the public from 120 to 90 decibels.

    The Center for Wild Animal Welfare (CWAW) has said lowering the limit to 90dB – which is about one-eighth of the loudness of 120dB – would help to protect millions of wild animals from acute stress by reducing the area over which a firework disturbs surrounding wildlife.

  • From energy prices to datacenters, climate became a cost-of-living issue – and a winning one

    Climate-forward Democrats swept into power on Tuesday night as a blue tsunami flipped the Senate, House and several governor’s races. Voters were laser-focused on affordability, and experts said Democrats succeeded in linking cost-of-living concerns with rising energy prices, datacenters and, to some extent, the climate crisis. They may have even created a path for a “new climate politics”.

    The results delivered a sharp rebuke of Donald Trump, who started a war with Iran that raised gas pump prices across the country and exposed the fragility of fossil fuels, all while the US oil industry earned $130bn in profits since the war began. Household energy costs soared, driven by various factors including constraints on renewables, climate disasters and a datacenter boom.

  • The BLVD is home to 250 enterprises, from banks, tattoo shops and restaurants to museums and a performing arts centre

    Passing through the Mojave desert on State Route 14, going by landscapes Hollywood uses to represent alien planets, a driver might not expect to find a walkable, tree-lined boulevard.

    But there are nine beautiful, leafy blocks on West Lancaster Boulevard, a piece of what used to be Highway 14. They were redeveloped as part of a mixed-use urban streetscape in the city of Lancaster, California in 2010.

    The BLVD, as it’s been rebranded, is home to 250 public and private enterprises, from banks, tattoo shops and restaurants to museums, a performing arts centre and a public library. City Hall is just a block south.

    The city invested $11.5m (£8.5m) to transform a busy thoroughfare into an inviting public space. The three lanes in the centre of the former five-lane road were replaced by a series of tree-lined ramblas – Spanish for “avenue” and “watercourse,” because dry stream beds served as streets in early cities.

    The redesign was planned and funded by the city of redevelopment agency. Within four years of completion, it had generated more than $270m in economic output, attracted $130m in investment, created hundreds of jobs and prompted the building or renovation of hundreds of housing units, according to the city.

    The revitalisation has also created more intangible benefits, residents say. The city centre the feels like a gathering space, they said — somewhere where they can feel like part of a community.
