„Our relationship with nature is broken. But relationships can change. When we protect nature – we are nature protecting itself.” – Greta Thunberg
Chaining dogs is a question for the minister, not cities and municipalities
In addition to the Croatian City Association, the ban on keeping dogs chained was supported by the Croatian County Association, as well as experts. The Animal Welfare Act stipulates that it is forbidden to keep dogs permanently tethered which makes the provision very vague. Professor Dr. Sc.
Boris Bakota explains that in practice it is impossible to check whether someone keeps dogs tied up or not, and notes that different people will interpret the word “permanently” in different ways. He concludes that it is necessary to delete the word “permanently” from the Act, and have the ordinance regulate the conditions and manner of keeping pets – not make it the obligation of local self-government units.
Local elections should contribute to better animal protection
We addressed all the candidates, appealing to them to include animal protection as part of their program. We called on citizens to choose those candidates who will implement the Animal Welfare Act in their area and improve the existing situation. We emphasized that many important changes often do not require a lot of money, rather a bit of good will.
Italy bans the import and trade of wild and exotic animals
We have announced that wild and exotic animals will no longer be imported and kept in Italy; we welcomed this decision. Italy has thus taken a major and concrete step forward for the protection of animals and human health, as well as towards the prevention of epidemics and pandemics. For a long time now, we have been appealing to the competent authorities for Croatia to introduce the so-called White Animal List that can be kept as pets. Animals suffer immensely in breeding, trade, transportation and, ultimately, in captivity.
