Zašto trovati životinje i okoliš kad se priroda za sve već pobrinula. Ugledajmo se na europske gradove poput Varšave, Istambula... Na države poput Turske, Cipra, Grčke, Poljske, koje su novce za silne otrove i deratizacije uložile u svoje ulične mačke koje su uspješnije u kontroli populacije zmija, insekata, miševa i drugih glodavaca od bilo kojih otrova. Tražimo od grada to isto. Ako mačke mogu kontrolirati štakore i druge glodavce u jednom velegradu kakav je Varšava, onda to mogu i u Dubrovniku! Ova fotografija je iz Istambula. Iz grada u kojem će vam svaki taksista, kad ga upitate nešto zapanjeni brojem mačaka na ulici reći: "Ovdje vam je bolje udariti policajca nego mačku. Daleko bolje će te proći". Zar smo mi toliko civilizacijski daleko od Turske?

Why is it necessary to poison animals and the natural environment when nature has already taken care of everything? Let's look at European cities like Warsaw, Istanbul ... Countries like Turkey, Cyprus, Greece, Poland, which have redirected the funds they had set aside for the rodent control, and instead invested it in care and help for their street cats. Those cats are more safe and successful option in controlling the population of snakes, insects, mice and other rodents, then any poison. We ask the city authorities to do the same. If cats can control rats and other rodents in a metropolis like Warsaw, then they can do the same in Dubrovnik! This photo is from Istanbul. From a city where every taxi driver, when you ask him something, stunned by the number of cats on the street will tell you, "It's better for you to hit a cop here than a cat. You'll get a milder penalty for that." Are we that far from Turkey in terms of civilization?

I spent the morning walking through the old town and watching the cats and honestly it just makes me more annoyed about the poison signs everywhere because nature really does have a better plan than these toxic chemicals. I have been trying to get a meeting with someone at the city office but they keep pushing my emails around like they are allergic to actually talking about this so I might just start knocking on doors instead.

I just woke up and refreshed the page and honestly my hands are shaking because I really did not think this many people cared about our cats. It feels like the tide is finally turning and maybe those guys in the city offices will actually have to listen to us for once instead of just throwing poison everywhere.

This is appalling animal abuse and diminishes the joy of visiting Dubrovnik knowing their animals are so mistreated!!
This is a crime. Cruelty should be punished. Croatia is a violent place, you will lose tourists like me and tge super yacht owners i work for. It is a disgrace. You need laws now! Jail time and fines for crimes of violence. Disgusted! Croatia, you should be ashamed!!!!
There are so many local volunteers trying to sterilise colonies as much as they can. Foreign tourists see, comment on, and feed street cats in their holiday destination, apartment, etc and the OUTRAGE when they hear about poisonings in a beautiful place like Cavtat or Dubrovnik.... does it change the way they think about Croatia and the Croatians? How can it fail to? Your tourist market is northern Europe. Make street cats a feature, not a horror story that repulses them!
Molim vas osim Mačaka prestanite trovati živa bića poput miševa i štakora i oni žele živjeti. Neka građani stavljaju humane lovke!!!!
Potpisujem sve receno u peticiji. Ubijanje, trovanje nije nacin, suzivot i briga jest.
Poisoning is disgusting!
That cruelty is unacceptable! You would be wise to help put a stop to it to help your conscience, as well as your political legacy. Disgusting!

The care of animals is considered to be a reflection of any nation. Your compassion towards your animals is key to how your tourists perceive you to be. Please get this right for your animals, and so that your tourists know that you are a Kind Nation.
