URGENT APPEAL TO SAVE HOMELESS ANIMALS IN MACEDONIA



In the Republic Macedonia there is not even one facility that would take care of the homeless animals and there is only one temporary (transit) center, holding facility VARDARISTE. This stationary was created in an attempt to shelter stray animals and keep them off the streets. Unfortunately, instead of engaging in this animal friendly project and implementing trap-neuter-return program (TNR) for which it's constituted and paid, this institution is implementing mass euthanasia of the animals brought from the streets.



In an attempt to portray the situation better: For the treatment of almost 10,000 stray dogs, there is only one veterinarian hired by the facility Varadiste. This center doesn't makes efforts to advertise animal adoption, and one poll indicates that 90% residents
of Skopje have never heard of Vardariste. The employees in Vardariste wash the cages with cold water while the dogs are in it. Animals are starving, trembling from cold, and puppies usually die couple of days after because nobody take care of them.

This video shows the terrible conditions in
Vardariste pound in Skopje, the capital of Macedonia.

Macedonian authorities handle the stray animal issue only by eliminating them! Maybe, the Republic Macedonia should not be considered as EU candidate without the minimum requirements in terms of animal rights and humane treatment of homeless animals?

 
Without proper intervention, homeless animals in Macedonia do not have the future. They urgently need help of animal welfare organizations in Europe and the rest of the world.

In this moment, AnimaMundi and animal lovers from Macedonia are desperate trying to stop the massacre of the homeless dogs in the municipality Aerodrom.

I'm counting on you to stand with them!
