Shinters in Zaječar - Horrific Animal Cruelty
Shinters in Zaječar - Horrific Animal Cruelty
Why this petition matters
In the most recent event of animal cruelty in Serbia, a dog was strangled by Shinters in Zaječar. This video was shot by a man on his mobile phone on the 30th of October, 2010, and shows a very scared and desperate dog with blood streaming from his mouth as he is being choked.

[Warning: disturbing! The petition picture was taken from the video - I apologize for the graphic image, but it needs to be seen]
This is just one example of the endless and ongoing killings of animals in Zaječar and the rest of Serbia. Homeless dogs and cats in Serbia experience inhumane capture and death. Once captured by the Shinters (dog catchers), animals are often confined to cages without any food or water for many days prior to their deaths. Death may be administered by paralysis of the respiratory system or injections of poisons causing death by suffocation; some are even buried alive, clubbed to death, sealed in plastic bags and disposed of in garbage dumps, or crushed in refuse collection vehicles. The methods of murder are countless. The Shinters are not an animal control agency, but communal enterprises working on controlling the stray population using brutal methods to kill off unwanted animals.
Please protest against the inhumane treatment of stray animals in Zaječar and the rest of Serbia !
