Svilajnac/Serbia

"Illegal, horrific environment in facilities where dogs were held in cages frightened him and he witnessed this horrid scene when his dog, from starvation and stress started to eat a dead dog. His attempt to rescue dying dogs from cages was interrupted by strangling, when a worker of communal enterprise attacked him, grabed him on the neck-to prevent him from coming near dogs"   

November  -3rd .2006. -in town Sviljanac, a member of four Serbian nongovernmental organizations for animal protection, an Animal Activists Goran Gruin in his attempt to save his dog from "shinters-dog catchers" was attacked and beaten up by workers of communal Enterprise "Morava"..

Activist Goran was begging for his dog and then was viciously attacked in front of his family (wife and two very young children). Goran came peacefully, with his two daughters, and then he was beaten up while his children were watching in fear.

After whole ordeal, Activist Goran and his family went to the doctor where they were diagnosed with severe stress condition, Goran with several bruises on his neck. His two daughters were in big shock and were crying trough the night… All that Goran wanted to do was to save a life, and he got nightmare to come, as dog he wanted to rescue was killed later…
Goran stated in telephone call: "It's not what my family and I got trough that day that gives me nightmares… I just can't stop regretting for not saving those dogs…"
Where is that democracy, and what about our civil rights?
