Dear Sir /Madam,

I am writing to request that you take immediate steps to introduce animal protection laws in Croatia. I am gravely concerned about the barbaric and cruel methods of stray animal control that are practised in Croatia. Such methods are simply unacceptable in modern society and must stop.

Apart from the terrible cruelty involved, these methods do nothing to address the problem of stray animals on the streets. According to Croatian laws, any cat or dog more than 300 meters beyond town limits is considered strayed and therefore is allowed to be killed. Cats and puppies are being killed and hung by the branches of the trees in Medjimurje area in Croatia. Throughout the last year, there were also numerous cases of puppies, dogs and cats being intentionally shot by hunters.

There is no excuse for failing to introduce laws on stray animals. There are many practical, cruelty free methods that can be introduced to control the numbers of strays, which poses no harm to the animals, most notably a neutering program. These have proved to be very successful in other countries. Please do intercede. Stop the barbaric cruelty and ensure that a proper legal foundation for animal protection is created in Croatia.

Yours sincerely,
