SHAME ON THE 2005 EUROPEAN BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
The 2005 European Basketball Championship in Belgrade, Sponsored by FIBA (Federation Internationale de Basketball) is stained with blood due to the massive extermination of hundreds upon thousands of Companion Animals -Dogs and Cats (Pets)).
Behind the Scenes of the 2005 European Basketball Championship
Prior to the current Serbian administration, Serbian politicians promised to improve animal welfare laws yet the horrendous conditions for all animals still exists in Serbia. Today these same politicians ignore the pleas and cries from their own citizens and individuals abroad including Brigitte Bardot to stop the torture and murder of animals The following photographs depict how the current Serbian administration is administering animal control. These animal control methods were employed at an accelerated rate prior to the European Basketball
Championship
Serbian streets continue to be inundated with companion animals (dogs and cats). Animal control in Serbia consists of; paying hunters for each animal killed (hunters present the animal’s tail for payment), poison such as T-61 and Kreozan which kills by suffocation, drenching the animal with gasoline and burning them to death and other barbaric methods such as beating, stoning and hanging.
These brutal killings have accelerated in the capital city of Belgrade, this past year in what seems to be a state sponsored massacre. The government’s objective appears to be to present the city as an attractive destination for tourists visiting sporting events such as the “Belgrade Marathon” and the “European Basketball Championship”.
Even dogs that are sterilized (spayed / neutered) by reputable organizations such as “Foundation Brigitte Bardot” and fed by animal loving Serbian citizens have disappeared. According to these citizens, what is even more astonishing is the lack of coverage by the Serbian media of this slaughter. Serbian media continues to portray friendly dogs as rabid, vicious killers to their audience which makes one wonder, have things really changed since the media controlled Milosevic regime?

Sample Letter
Historically, Serbia’s war ended ten years ago. However evidence shows that a war continues; only this time it is a war against Companion Animals (Dogs and Cats). Thousands of animals have been inhumanely rounded up, tortured, hanged, shot, beaten with sticks and rocks, burned and poisoned in order to make Belgrade’s streets pristine for your 2005 European Basketball championship, causing this sporting event to be smeared with blood. Serbian officials have ignored the cries and pleas of individuals in Serbia and worldwide to halt these atrocities and implement better animal welfare laws and policies. Since this savage massacre was caused by the preparations for your sporting event, I would ask you and the sponsors of the 2005 FIBA Eurochampionships to denounce these atrocities publicly. I would also ask that you urge the Serbian government to cease the brutal round up of animals, legislate and enforce better animal welfare laws and implement a sterilization (spay / neuter) program for all companion animals living on the streets throughout Serbia. We appreciate your help in this cause.
