On July 3,2014. a Memorandum of Understanding and Cooperation was signed between the city of Subotica and NGO "Anima Subotica" about solving the problem of stray dogs on the streets of this city.

On this occasion, the Association for the Protection of Animals “Pets Are Worth Saving”, "EPAR - OIPA SERBIA / Alliance for the Conservation of Nature, animal rights and the rights of the people, and the Society for the Protection of Animals, "Alex", Asylum Alex sent an open letter to the mayor of Subotica, the Minister of agriculture RS, Director of veterinary directorate, veterinary inspection and the general public pointing out certain shortcomings and incompleteness of this Memorandum which only seemingly solves the problem of stray dogs, without concluding and providing concrete ways for the long-term solution and elimination of the real source of stray dogs and cats.

We hereby request the cancelation of this Memorandum making it an illegal act because it allows the continuance of irresponsible owners and keepers of pets and illegal treatment of animals and public money.
