U POMOĆ MOLIM - PODRŽAVATE INICIJATIVU,  POTPIŠETE PETICIJU 'SAVE HVAR'S CATS!' NA CHANGE.ORG

Prijedlog za mirno rješenje problema trovanja mačaka na Hvaru.

Uvod: Imidž turističke destinacije ovisi o više faktora, među njima ponašanje građana prema životinjama. Više od godinu dana neki ljudi u Hvaru bez milosti truju i ubiju mačke u Gradu Hvaru, bez obzira na imidž njihovog mjesta, a gosti su otišli zbog stravičnih prizora mrtvih mačaka koji plutaju u moru gdje ljudi se kupaju. I u drugim mjestima na Hvaru ljudi znaju otrovati mačke.

Zašto spasiti mačke? Imidž mjesta nije jedini niti glavni razlog za tražiti način na kojem se može zaustaviti ubijanje mačaka. Mačke su korisne životinje: love miševe, štakore, zmije i druge štetnike. U pravim uvjetima su samostalne i čiste.

Razumije se da nismo svi isti, nismo svi ljubitelji životinja. U društvu moramo živjeti mirno zajedno, i moramo poštivati zakone: ubijanje i zlostavljanje životinja po Članku 205. Kaznenog zakona (NN 125/2011.) su kaznena djela.

Nije prihvatljivo da vlasnici mačaka pate zbog mučenja i gubitaka svojih ljubimaca; da gosti, pogotovo djeca, vide grozne prizore mačaka u mukama; da interesi iznajmljivača budu ugroženi zbog ilegalnog djelovanja nekih ljudi; da policija, lokalne zajednice i pojedinci moraju izgubiti vrijeme, resurse (i živce) da bi spriječili akcije ubijanja, skupili dokaze i dignuli tužbe protiv osumnjičenih.

Zašto ljudi njih ubiju? Neki ljudi mrze životinje, često bez posebnog razloga. Nekima smetaju neke navike kod divljih zapuštenih mačaka, naime nekontrolirano parenje; galama kad mužjaci se tuku zbog ženki; i smrad od izmeta.

Projekt za spašavanje mačaka

Glavne točke:

1. Program sterilizacije mačaka. Taj program već funkcionira na Hvaru - i neke mačke koje su otrovane u Gradu Hvaru zadnjih mjeseci su bile sterilizirane, šta je veća šteta.

2. Stvoriti hranilišta za mačke na više mjesta, uz mjesta za nuždu (pjesak, zemlja u kutijama ako nema prirodnog mjesta).

3. Dati poticaj firmama i ljudima koji sudjeluju u projektu.

4. Voditi kampanju edukacije za mlade i odrasle, kako se može i mora brinuti za životinje, i zašto.

5. Dati do znanja preko plakata i obavijesti da lokalne vlasti će sudjelovati u akcijama za dovesti okrivljenike na sud ako krše zakon i muče ili ubiju mačke.

6. Izabrati slogan i/ili logo za projekt

Kako će projekt funkcionirati?

1. Program sterilizacije će se nastaviti: u početku projekta bi moglo biti veći broj mačaka za operaciju, jer bi bilo lakše uhvatiti ulične mačke.

2. Lokalna vlast će izabrati mjesta za hranilišta, i će biti odgovorna za čištoće tih lokacija, uz pomoć Udruga te pojedinaca prijatelja životinja.

3. Financiranje će biti uglavnom preko donacija i sponzorstvo: npr. novčane donacije će ići preko proračuna lokalne vlasti, i / ili u poseban račun kod Udruga za životinje; firme, pogotovo dučani, mogu donirati mačiju hranu; u dučanima, mogu biti kutije za donacije hrane u kojim kupci mogu ostaviti suhu hranu ili konzerve.

4. Svi zainteresirani koji hoće promovirati svoje mjesto na najbolji način će moći sudjelovati u projektu, npr. hoteli, restorani, kafići, barovi, turističke agencije itd., uz naravno pojedince. Svi koji su pružili dokazanu pomoć projektu bi mogli dobiti posebno priznanje za rad u navedenoj godini, npr. kad se slavi Dan grada ili Dan općine.

5. Kampanja edukacije bi mogla biti kroz radionice i volonterski rad sa uličnim mačkama.

6. Lokalne vlasti će staviti reklame u javnim prostorima i na internetu, naime na portalima i Facebook stranici.

7. Slogan / logo bi mogli biti predmet natječaja po školama.

8. U svakom mjestu gdje će projekt biti proveden, lokalna vlast će stvoriti upravni odbor za voditi akcije.

  • Every autumn, Corvo Island in the Azores turns off its public lighting for a few key days to help fledgling Cory’s shearwaters as they attempt to fly to the ocean guided by the stars

    Once a year, Corvo, the smallest and most northerly island of Portugal’s Azores archipelago, goes dark. Since 2019, the island’s 450 or so inhabitants have chosen to switch off the lights every autumn for five nights to tackle the disastrous effects of artificial light on Cory’s shearwaters, a seabird endemic to the Atlantic Ocean.

    It began in 1991 when the community noticed huge numbers of deaths among young shearwaters.

  • The 2030 target for 80% of new cars to have zero emissions could be cut to as low as half

    Electric cars make people happy. More than nine in 10 EV drivers – 94% in a recent poll – are saving money, and a similar number would stick with electric for their next purchase, and recommend them to family and friends. Sales are soaring: more than half of the new cars sold in the UK last month were electric, if hybrids are taken into account, and about 28% of new car sales overall were electric only.

    This is hardly surprising, given that soaring petrol and diesel costs have pushed up the price of a full tank to about £120. EV drivers are paying about 2.4p a mile.

  • Tim and Geli Harris have spent more than a decade fighting to protect Catfield Fen, a rare wetland in the Norfolk Broads

    Polluters and regulators who fail to stop pollution must quake in their boots when they receive a letter from the lawyers for Tim and Geli Harris. The couple, who farm 460 acres in the Norfolk Broads, have now scored a hat-trick of landmark legal victories to save an internationally important wetland after they won again in the high court this month.

    Lady Justice Lieven found that Natural England failed in its statutory duty to protect Catfield Fen from pollution after nitrates and phosphates washed from arable fields into one of the finest examples of calcareous fen in western Europe, home to 2,500 species including rarities such as the fen orchid, crested buckler fern, breeding bittern and swallowtail butterflies.

  • Season will be less vibrant with trees such as birches, which usually offer a striking burst of yellow leaves, already bare

    Among a canvas of copper, red and purple autumn leaves on display at Wisley garden in Surrey, south-east England, one tree stands conspicuously naked.

    “The birch has lost all its leaves,” says Guy Barter, the chief horticulturist at the Royal Horticultural Society. “That’s the effect of drought, so it’ll have no autumn colour this year.”

  • Exclusive: Angela Eagle tells utility bosses next price review ‘must focus on value for money for customers’

    Ministers will make an unprecedented intervention in water bills and how companies prioritise investment, directing bosses to bring down costs and stop leaks and sewage overflows.

    Angela Eagle, the environment secretary, has told suppliers in England and Wales she plans to intervene in the next price review – conducted by the water regulator, Ofwat.

  • Brownsea Island, Dorset: I’ve been here lots of times to see the squirrels, so I know exactly where to find them – behind the church in the woods

    Every October my family have an annual trip to Brownsea Island. We go in autumn because this is a good time to see the red squirrels. In the other seasons, they are high up, hidden in the trees. We catch the ferry from Poole Harbour, and we know we are close when we can see the castle come into view. When we arrive we’re greeted by nosy chickens and attention-seeking peacocks on the lawns.

    We go behind the little church into the woods. It is a different world there. There is a mix of crunchy and soggy brown leaves on the ground and little mushrooms popping up from the earth. Some mushrooms are sprouting from rotting logs.

  • Concrete sprawl in Yaoundé has devastated the city’s trees and parks, so volunteers are stepping up, shrub by shrub

    A little piece of paradise is buried under the asphalt that is now lined with parked cars. The romantic spot where Sosthène Hugues Ngono used to bring his first dates had been green and beautiful. “It wasn’t just a park,” he says, standing at the edge of what is now a private car park in Cameroon’s capital, Yaoundé.

    “It was where I came to clear my head when things felt confused,” he says. “Where I met people; where I fell in love, more than once.”

  • Queensland researchers say a published study contains ‘silly mistake’ that over-inflates vaccine’s efficacy but the regulator is standing by decision to approve it

    At wildlife hospitals across eastern Australia, many koalas brought in have distinctive brown patches on their bottoms – a sign of urinary incontinence and a painful inflamed bladder. Others have red, weeping eyes, pointing to a bacterial disease that can cause blindness in the endangered marsupials.

    Chlamydia infection, also known as chlamydiosis, is the most significant disease affecting the animals. The culprit is most commonly the bacterium Chlamydia pecorum, which is spread via mating or close contact.

  • Dom Phillips warned that Jair Bolsonaro would make life more dangerous for reporters and the Amazon rainforest, and that his sons were even more extreme

    “Bolso shows all signs of fascism, as do his supporters,” the murdered British journalist Dom Phillips told me before his death. “His sons are all more extreme if anything.”

    These words were written in 2018 by the Guardian contributor shortly before the election of the far-right former army captain Jair Bolsonaro as president of Brazil – a prospect that Dom viewed with dread.
