Immediately cease the mass poisoning of abandoned dogs in the Republic of Serbia


Immediately cease the mass poisoning of abandoned dogs in the Republic of Serbia
The Issue
There are mass poisonings of animals in Serbia happening right now. The situation is alarming and we need your help. For less than 2 months more than 250 animals were poisoned on the streets of Serbia. The government is not reacting even though it has received numerous pleas asking them to investigate, by law, and to stop this cruelty.
Please send a letter of concern and ask International regulatory bodies to intervene and to send a demand to the Serbian government to stop these mass poisonings.
By these unlawful acts, Serbia is violating the International Rotterdam Convention that states that the use of carbofuran is prohibited. Also, this is a violation of Criminal Law of Serbia, violation of Animal welfare Law, violation of Wildlife Protection Acts and Nature Protection Acts.
The government is not reacting on our demands to investigate and stop this from happening!
Carbofuran is forbidden by the International Act of Chemical Review Committee - banned in Canada and the European Union, in 2008. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a ban on carbofuran because reports showed that this chemical compound killed more wildlife and animals overall than any other poison.

REQUEST FOR INTERVENTION
I heard about mass poisoning on the streets of Serbia and that reports were made to the Serbian Government, Police, and Sectors for control of chemicals but no one reacted.
Through the investigation of poisons, it was confirmed that chemicals found on the scene (streets) are two banned components but still, they are spreading uncontrollably on streets and are continuously killing the wildlife and domestic animals and pose a danger to humans and children.
The technical or chemical name of the poison is FURADAN, carbofuran is 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl methylcarbamate, and its CAS Number is 1563-66-2.
Mass poisoning cases of dogs, cats, and birds that happened from January to February count approximately 350 individuals. Reports of the poisoned animals are still arriving.
We are very appealed and are asking for regulatory bodies of the Rotterdam Convention to intervene.
My report is reflecting the NOTE requested by the Rotterdam convention committee.
According to the criteria for listing banned or severely restricted chemicals in Annex III to the Rotterdam Convention, Annex II, paragraph (c)(iv), indicates that the Chemical Review Committee should consider whether there is evidence of ongoing international trade in the chemicals it reviews.
In line with the process for collecting information on ongoing international trade adopted by the Chemical Review Committee at its first meeting, countries and other interested parties are invited to submit information on ongoing trade and use of the listed chemicals.
CRC-12/1 Carbofuran 16.16 K36.81 K
Recalling paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 7 of the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade.
I am very concerned about this situation, I will recall my visit to Serbia until this alarming situation of mass poisoning of animals is ongoing. I am very appalled with the Government of Serbia because they are not taking any responsibility and are not taking any action to stop this horrific situation, they are NOT replying nor taking action on complaints that citizens of Serbia sent to them. I am informed that there are more than 10 protests on streets by concerned citizens and the government is playing deaf to their pleas which is shameful.
Please send a warning note to the Serbian Government to stop the mass poisonings and please make an intervention that is guaranteed by Rotterdam Convention.
Thank you.
Your name.
