Ovom peticijom želimo prikupiti potpise ljubitelja životinja sa područja grada Svetog Ivana Zeline ali i ostalih zainteresiranih strana, kako bi brojem potpisa pokazali da Grad Sveti Ivan Zelina, po uzoru na druge gradove u županiji i općenito Hrvatskoj, mora započeti sa izdvajanjem sredstava za provođenje Projekta besplatne i/ili sufinancirane kastracije, pri tome misleći prvenstveno na pse, a kasnije i mačke.
Takav projekt bi uz ostale potporne projekte (projekti mikro-čipiranja i edukacije stanovništva o važnosti kastracije i mikro-čipiranja,) smanjio broj napuštenih pasa kojih je sve više.
Situacija na terenu s kojom se svaki dan susrećemo dovodi do zaključka da su ovakvi projekti neophodni kako bi se smanjio trošak kojeg Grad izdvaja za zbrinjavanje, ali ne i kontrolu razmnožavanja, te kako se postojeće stanje ne bi pogoršalo uslijed nekontroliranog razmnožavanja vlasničkih i ostalih pasa koji ne služe za rasplod.
Provođenje takvog projekta bi u konačnici, kroz vremensko razdoblje od 2-3 godine rezultiralo smanjenjem troškova koje grad Sveti Ivan Zelina izdvaja za smještanje napuštenih pasa u sklonište za napuštene životinje, smanjio bi nepotrebnu patnju životinja na cesti i u skloništima, te povećao svijest ljudi o važnosti mikro-čipiranja, kastracije i odnosa prema životinjama.
With the following petition, we wish to collect signatures of animal lovers from the city of Sveti Ivan Zelina, as well as from all other interested parties, all in order to show a high number of supporters so the City of Sveti Ivan Zelina urgently begins with allocating funds for implementation of the project "Free or/and co-financed SPAY AND NEUTER PROGRAM", primarily of dogs, as well as of cats. Such a practice is a common one in the majority of cities in the county and in Croatia in general. Such a project, in addition to other supporting ones (microchipping and general education on importance of castration and microchipping), would reduce the number of abandoned dogs, which keeps increasing day by day. The difficulties and challanges we encounter every day, lead to a conclusion that such projects are beyond necessary and crucial in order to reduce the cost the City already allocates for animal care, but not for the breeding control, and that the existing condition would not deteriorate due to an uncontrolled reproduction of owned dogs with dogs not suitable for breeding. The implementation of such a project in the following period of 2-3 years would, ultimately, result in a cost reduction that the city of Sveti Ivan Zelina already provides to accommodate abandoned dogs in shelters, it would reduce the unnecessary suffering of animals on the road and in shelters, and would also increase awareness of the importance of microchipping, spay&neuter programs and animal relations within the entire community.
