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.

  • ONS data shows rising toll of climate crisis, with officials warning this summer on track to set further records

    More than 40,000 extra people died on the hottest days in England between 1988 and 2025 than would be expected in normal temperatures, according to data published by the Office for National Statistics on Wednesday.

    The figures do not include this summer, when England has sweltered under a succession of heatwaves and is on track to record its highest ever number of heat-related deaths. The UK Health Security Agency announced on 30 July that an estimated 2,877 people had died in the May and June heatwaves alone. The total is almost double the figure for the whole summer in 2025.

  • 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.

  • Jack Klein takes heat readings, gives fans to overheated passengers and lugs big jugs of water into the stations

    On a recent August day in the subterranean furnace of New York City’s subway, one bearded, curly haired man was studying his phone for different reasons than the other wilting passengers – to track the soaring temperatures and ponder how underground train stations can cool down in an era of climate crisis.

    Jack Klein, a 31-year-old construction site manager, has in the past two years taken it upon himself to become a sort of guerrilla subway heat operative, sticking teardrop-shaped thermometers to steel beams in seven of the hottest Manhattan stations and posting social media videos of the hades-like summer temperatures that commuters have to endure.

  • 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.
