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.

  • WMO report details extreme weather events causing climatic feedback loop with serious health consequences

    Big increases in wildfires and heatwaves supercharged by the climate crisis are hindering improvements to air quality around the world, UN experts have said.

    Regions that had recorded a fall in pollution emitted by cars and industrial sites are facing new threats to air quality because of exposure to smoke from wildfires, according to a new report, while rising temperatures caused by intense heatwaves are causing a surge in ground-level ozone.

  • Volunteer ‘glow-getters’ overseeing reintroduction of endangered beetles at Nosterfield nature reserve

    The bioluminescent beams of “fairy folk” are shining again from a nature reserve in North Yorkshire for the first time in a century after the successful reintroduction of endangered glowworms.

    Female glowworms were spotted over multiple weeks at Nosterfield nature reserve this summer following a no-frills, almost zero-budget reintroduction of the much-loved invertebrates, which have vanished from the British countryside in recent decades and are notoriously difficult to re-establish.

  • Investors in Emblehope Moor will get their financial returns – and then it will be given to community or charity owners

    It is difficult to find the most remote place in England. There is no public transport, no roads and no sign of any human habitation. Online route finders mistakenly direct cars up a grassy track. But miles along gravel forest roads in the far north of Northumberland is the largest contiguous rewilding site under single ownership in the country.

    The vast glacial bowl of 7,500-acre Emblehope Moor has been bought for £8.5m by Restore, a nature restoration company that works with landowners across Britain.

  • Torrential rain causes widespread damage; while north-west South Africa hit by thunderstorms and central-southern US faces oppressive heat

    Typhoon Saudel brought days of torrential rain to Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong provinces in south-east China last week. The city of Putian, in Fujian province, recorded 416.5mm of rain in a 24-hour period between Thursday and Friday, with surrounding villages recording more than 500mm in the same period. In Fujian, authorities estimate that almost 600,000 people were evacuated from high-risk, flood-prone areas. A further 128,000 people in 53 counties were also affected across Jiangxi, with emergency evacuations affecting 9,000 people.

    Flooding, landslips and infrastructure damage were reported widely in the region. More than 2,500 teachers and students were trapped in a school compound in the Zhejiang city of Wenzhou on Wednesday after extreme rainfall caused flash floods in low-lying areas. At least 1,260 people reportedly had to be rescued in Putian after a river embankment collapsed on Thursday, flattening 100 homes. On Saturday, a landslip in a village of Suichuan county, in Jiangxi province, killed three people and nine others remaining missing.

  • Gabna community fear their traditional herding routes will be sacrificed as far-right rhetoric ramps up against them

    For the Swedish-Sami politician Åsa Larsson Blind, it was something of a watershed moment in the national conversation around Indigenous rights.

    In late April and May, as the country geared up for this month’s elections, the deputy prime minister and energy minister, Ebba Busch, gave a series of speeches and articles publicly attacking the Sami’s rights to graze reindeer herds on their ancestral lands. Reindeer husbandry, Busch said at one press conference, “is an industry that affects very large areas, but has limited economic significance”.

  • Lynchat, Spey Valley: So many stories fill the iron age Raitts Cave, from wild legend to the more quotidian truth of its history

    The word “cave” is full of possibility. It speaks of darkness, secrets, treasures and escapees, all of which can be found in the stories of Raitts Cave, which lies in a field near the hamlet of Lynchat, Inverness-shire.

    Its Gaelic name is An Uaimh Mhor, “the great cave”, and one legend claims it was built by giants, the females hollowing out the earth and carrying the soil in their aprons to dump in the River Spey, while the males cut its massive stone slabs from the hills above. Because, in fact, it is not a natural cave, but a subterranean passage, shaped like a horseshoe and lined with stone.

  • Global AC demand will inevitably accelerate as the world continues to warm amid the climate crisis

    The greenest campaigners against climate change have long suffered from a crippling shortcoming: they too often frame the challenge as a problem of excess consumption. This motivates calls to “degrow” the economy and to curb the population. The claim is that humans consume too many resources, which in the context of climate change means too much energy.

    Nowhere has the tension between this proposition and reality become more palpable during this sweltering summer than in the conversation over air conditioning.

  • The Californian once cultivated petri dishes breathed on by artists that turned ‘murky and scary’. But now, in our dystopian age of space technocrats, she’s taking inspiration from Nasa shots of asteroids

    ‘I had artists from all over the world breathe over petri dishes,” says Liz Larner. “It was a piece of international art made from breath bacteria.” The American sculptor is reminiscing about her 1988 work Every Artist Gave a Breath, a fragile and strangely evolving work of art grown on agar. Exhibited in a 2022 show, it has since transformed in various ways: some bacteria has morphed into “beautiful, dried wafers in colour”, while other dishes “turned into a really weird blackish-green, really murky and a little scary”.

    Larner is no stranger to making alluring work out of strange materials, from human hair and false eyelashes to leather and surgical gauze. For her first major exhibition in the UK – A Hard Line to Bend at Camden Arts Centre in London – the sculptor has been transforming single-use plastic into pieces that bristle with seductiveness and menace. “I was living in LA at the time when China stopped accepting American plastic, which was where we were sending it all to be recycled,” she says. “I started taking it to my studio – it got so huge, I had to hang it from my ceiling.”

  • Epic plankton blooms make filming in the North Sea notoriously difficult. But a new documentary gives a rare glimpse of the kaleidoscopic life – seals, sharks, tuna, orcas and shorthorn sculpins – lurking beneath its waves

    The North Sea, as even its greatest admirers will concede, often glowers an unappetising grey or brown. And we assume that its dull exterior is matched by sediment-filled waters where little life dwells. For years, the friends and family of Peter van Rodijnen wondered why the Dutch cinematographer and diving fanatic spent so much time exploring “this murky bowl of soup”. But, inspired by a childhood of watching Jacques Cousteau’s adventures in rather more enticingly temperate waters, Van Rodijnen’s dedication to North Sea diving gradually revealed its hidden wonders.

    Over 20 years, as camera technology improved, Van Rodijnen obtained more and more amazing footage of marine life near his home on the Netherlands coast. Nearly a decade ago, he teamed up with director Mark Verkerk. “We started with the idea,” says Van Rodijnen, “that if somebody can make a movie about the North Sea, it’s got to be us.”

  • Jasmin Graham, a shark scientist and science communicator, also makes time in her day to practice her hobbies and play music bingo with friends

    “Sharks are not monsters, they just need better PR,” writes Jasmin Graham. And she should know: Graham is a shark scientist and science communicator.

    Here’s what a day in Graham’s life in Sarasota, Florida looks like.
