Misinformation From Transporters - Open Letter

-
Dear EliPet,

Claudiu's post, copied below has left me aghast!
You are considered to be one of the better transporters from Romania and yet you provide such inaccurate information to your clients! I would like to give you this opportunity to discuss the "legal terms" that I seem to find so confusing and I can provide you links where you can update yourself on the correct procedures as your information could lead people in the UK to believe they are bringing dogs in legally when they are not and if dogs are seized, that liability would lie with yourself. In particular, your understanding of the pet passport scheme is troubling considering your line of business! An owner can not take a dog to Romania using a pet passport for it to be put on Romanian traces as part of a commercial consignment! Pet Passports are for owners exiting and re-entering the dogs country of origin and can never be used if the purpose of exit is change of ownership or sale.

Check the Bosnian notification on this exact problem if you do not understand the law http://www.vet.gov.ba/?q=en/node/2232 Serbian dogs, as you well know, can only leave legally with a "commercial export certificate" and can only obtain this after 4 months in a registered facility, as many, or all, of the Serbian dogs you carry do not have this certificate they are exiting Serbia and entering the UK illegally.

 I can send you the email from vet.minpolj should you wish to confirm this. Your statement that dogs coming out illegally are better prepared is preposterous!

Last weekend two untitered Serb dogs entered the UK, dogs with parvo, distemper, dogs that are in pain or too ill to travel are subjected to journeys of up to five days so please, think before you speak as you are misleading people.

Hi everybody, I'm Barnaby

Hi everybody, I'm Barnaby. On the 10th of March 2018, I arrived on a van into the UK. I was driven North were a woman picked me up and took me to Litchfeild. I thought this was my new home but no, she wasn't going to keep me. She put me up for sale on a Facebook group. My "new mummy" saw me on there for sale and thought I looked very dapper and handsome and she came out to see me, fell in love with me and brought me home.  I wasn't looking my best when I arrived, my dew claw had been torn during my journey to the UK and my mum was worried about my castration wound as the stitches were too tight and the wound infected so she took me to the vets.  Just as I was settling into my new life, going for walks, trying to catch the otters in the lake and the water voles in the river, my mummy saw a thing called a tape worm. Apparently I shouldn't have had them as I was supposed to have been wormed before coming to the UK. The reason for this is a worm called  echin...

Dogs Trust Bosnia

-
Dogs Trust have recently started a Bosnian foster program with the intention of rehoming dogs locally. This is a HUGE step in the right direction but will only work if supported internally! They need volunteers in Sarajevo to foster dogs for rehoming in Bosnia. If successful, it will be rolled out across the country. It will take time but it is a definite step in the right direction. NO ILLEGAL activists can volunteer as fosters, they recognise the illegal exporting of do gs and do not support it so anybody involved in sending dogs illegally need not apply. Fosters will benefit from : Food for the foster dog; Complete veterinary processing and treatments; All necessities for the dog, such as collar, lead, blanket, food and other available accessories; Support by Fostering Coordinator; Support by Dogs Trust Dog School and behaviour experts; Special education in positive motivation training. If any of my Bosnian followers are able to support this effort help with fostering, please ...

What Are Illegal Pensions?

I try not to post GRAPHIC images but this needs to be seen so please be warned, they will haunt you. PENSIONS!!! No doubt you will have seen the posts by individuals and groups, £500 needed for this month pension fees, £3000 pension debt this month. The word conjures up an image of kennels or a dog hotel when the reality is very different. Most are simply barns or basements in a villagers garden with 20-40 and in some cases, 70 dogs being housed there, if you can call it housed. Parvo and distemper is rife, this is confirmed by many involved in rescue in Serbia and Bosnia, there is no disease control, no isolation areas and in many cases, dogs are barely fed so immune systems are weakened. The reality is, some of these dogs would have a better chance of survival on the streets but we in the UK and the West have created a lucrative business for many out of these dogs. From Romanian, to Serbia, Bosnia and further afield, we have allowed a monster to grow and subsequently, contribut...
