“The transition to veganism is definitely the best decision I’ve made, and I enjoy the daily knowledge that no conscious and sensory living being is hurt because of my taste buds. Apart from the enormous health benefits of such a diet, it flatters everyone to have a gentle spirit and clear conscience. Veganism indeed looks good on everyone.” – Ana Laura Kapetanovic

10 Reasons for 10 Years of ZeGeVege Festival

10 razloga za 10 godina ZeGeVegea
A week before ZeGeVege Festival, 10 activists showed why veganism is beneficial to everyone. Passers-by at Ban Jelacic Square in Zagreb were able to taste delicious vegan cakes from Graškić and Mrkvić mascots and hangout with activists. The atmosphere, which you can see from the photos, was as great as it will be at the jubilee ZeGeVege festival on Friday September 8th and Saturday September 9th at Ban Jelačić Square, where everyone can expect to see many interesting things. Do not miss the 10th Croatian Veganmania. 🙂

The responsibility of a dog caretaker

In cooperation with the Association of Cities, we made an informative leaflet on the legal obligations of dog caregivers and freely offered it to all communities and cities to print and distribute to their citizens. Due to too little response, we sent an additional letter asking them to take advantage of this opportunity to inform citizens of the content of the leaflet and the high penalties prescribed for non-compliance with legal obligations. We’re also calling everybody willing to volunteer to help by encouraging this compliance in their local communities.


Petition against over-vaccination

Peticija protiv precestog cijepljenja
Encouraged by frequent citizen inquiries about the needlessness of vaccinating dogs against rabies every year, we have launched a petition to adapt this legal obligation with the vaccine manufacturer’s instructions. The petition requires a systematic and rigorous control of obligatory vaccination and microchipping by local communities and utility clerks, veterinary inspectors and veterinarians to avoid a situation where as many as 30 percent of caregivers never visited a vet, and as a result, their dogs never received vaccines. We ask all to sign and share the petition because each signature is precious.
