Hunters prohibited from killing dogs
A new Hunting Law has come into effect. Very few proposals from associations for animal and nature protection were accepted and we warned that by facilitating the demands of hunting lobbies through this Law, the safety of people and the welfare of animals is undermined. However, commendable is the deletion of the formulation “removal” of dogs and cats from the hunting grounds. We have been fighting for this for more than 15 years, pointing at the injustice that caused a large number of killed dogs and cats.

Paws up for volunteers
On Saturday 10th of November at the Ban Jelacic Square in Zagreb, an action ‘Adoption is cool’ was held under the motto ‘
Paws up for volunteers‘. Anyone who wants to help animals was invited to visit a shelter closest to where they live and spare some of their time for the dogs who need walks and to be played with as well as to promote adopting instead of buying.

We reported a chinchilla breeder for breaking the law
We reported a chinchilla breeder for breeding animals for fur and
asked the Ministry of Agriculture to enforce the ban on chinchilla breeding and sanction the breeder for violating the Animal Protection Act. After the ten years of transition period, and then almost two years since the fur farming ban in Croatia came into effect, this is a direct mockery of clear legal provisions, former breeders, competent institutions and citizens.

Looking for English-speaking editors
We are looking for volunteers who might help us with editing. We’re translating our texts and press releases into English with the help of many Croatian volunteers. Since they are published on
our web page, we are looking for native English speakers who might be willing to help us edit our texts before posting them online.
