Part I

It appears from our mayor has always been grateful foreign orchestra partners with which they have managed to share the rewards and have not omited to mention exceptional humanity and sensitivity of the Kyiv City authorities in relation to homeless animals.

And what is with this organization like?

Former Deutschen Tierhilfswerk eV in München (DTHW), already known by a number of corruption scandals at their homeland:

Connect about 220 members with sect «Fiat Lux»

(Ideology, something like religious «White Brotherhood»: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Lux_%28neureligi%C3%B6se_Bewegung%29 )

One of the strategic partners – Princess Begum Inaara Aga Khan (the former Gabriele Thissen) heads established in 2003 international charity organization «SOS-projects» («for help animals and humans”).

Recently one of the Aga Khan – Catherine (Catherine Beriketti before marriage with Sadruddin) wrote a letter to the Ministry of Nature, which that became one of the features of the campaign, officially launched in February 2010. While the same campaign, due to the development and dissemination of public opinion, have started in 2008 in Ukraime as antizoocidical («stop zoocide»), in the West countries in 2009 it acquired the character of anti-Ukrainian («stop Ukraine!»):

In 2006 «DTHW» by analogy with our domestic “Animals in the City” (AIC) this company dividinged into several branches and changes its name
www.animal-health-online.de/klein/2009/08/25/aktion-tier-menschen-fur-tiere-ev-stellt-mitgliederwerbung-in-rheinland-pfalz-ein/4306/, but
so far most of the information concerning the collection and use of membership fees remain a commercial secret:

One of the former partners DTHW – Christian Janatsch that who in 2002 already was under investigation with arrest and of bank accounts: www.animal-health-online.de/klein/2002/02/28/industriemagazin-tierhilfswerkskandal-konten-gespe/921, also recently received awards from the Kiev authorities – April 15, 2009. Mr. Janatsch’s organization supports Zoo, that in conjunction with «legislative contact» conjures up memories about memorable Mrs. Berzina, who at the time of association in Dyvnych’s group performed cynologist instructor in dog fighs and was distinguished by theft of funds as an accountant in Dog Training Club.
We remember him for, by his words, “during 12 years visited Kyiv” (that is not surprisingly, as his wife – Ukrainian), “but nothing had changed”. In 1998 he showed to our officials and international public secret video of dog fights, and in 2006-2008 – scenes of brutality in Borodyanka shelter (and it’s was good that they were impressed, as because the main municipal vet-doctor eventually for the first time visited Borodyanka later).

At August 19 2009 (after 4 months – approx.) Janatsch disclaims awards of Kiev authorities in response to reluctance of Irena Kilchytska to satisfy his request (in a letter 20.04.2009) -about discharging two coordinators of Kiev sterilization programs (failed by Kiev City Administraion) – Mrs. Lyudmila Kachurova, Chief Department of Health and Medical Care in Kiev and Svetlana Berzina, Kyiv zoo director. Against the last had already been started extensive information campaign in local and foreign media.

Interesting fact that Kyiv zoo was excepted from the EAZA relatively recently (September 2007), but and animal welfare conditions are blamed to the new director (as though during the decade of membership in EAZA those conditions have satisfied someone?), appointed by order of the Kyiv Mayor at 21.02.2008.
In the time of past director, when the zoo was subordinated to the Department of Trade and domestic, were discovered and puplished many outrage facts and treatment with animals and zoo’s property (many photos and attractions near the enclosures – just from those times), that caused the Romash’s resignation.
Does not it reminds  Borodyanka’s history where foreign experts were also not observed positive – for the first time in 10 years (!),- changes in shelter (any at all, at the same time system of money laundering and diversion of management of property was saved), while due to the efforts of foreign coalition dismissed the new director was dismissed and appointed a person that “meets all the requirements” was appointed:

http://www.kreschatic.kiev.ua/ua/3622/news/1260891401.html
As it appears from grateful letters of Christian Janatsch (2009.04.20 ), Holger Knieling (2009.06.02 ) and messages of John Ruane (April 2009) – they are fully satisfied of new director completely satisfy them.

Notably, for the YEAR of its activity new director was not expressed any claim, while the official SOS statements, expressing dissatisfaction with the new administration, emerged in March 2010th:
http://kp.ua/daily/020310/217502/
and even earlier, about «keeping animals in concetrate-camp conditions in Communal utility “Shelter for Animals» was announced on 07.05.2009, in the report of Commission of Supreme Soviet of Ukraine for investigation the infringement of the Constitution of Ukraine and laws of Ukraine, making illegal decisions by officials of the Kiev city council and its executive body, which also left aside honorary animal protect societies and their websites.
http://search.ligazakon.ua/l_doc2.nsf/link1/DF44Z00A.html

Does it mean appears that international organizations (except unexpectedly noble Cristian Janatsch) just do not want to break away friendly connections with Kyiv City Administration or just uninformed about events in faraway «East Indies» – Ukraine?

From time to time appear reprintings of Ukrainian news about the horrible events in Lugansk (December 2009), about Kiev zoo (October 2009), about total extermination of the animals on the eve of Euro-2012 (letters to presidential candidate Viktor Yanukovich, then Prime Minister Y . Timoshenko, Minister of Environment M. Movchan) with particular reference to their informed representative – Tamara Tarnawska are appeared. In the same time there is nothing there about city sterilization program (held from September 2007 and unfunded by city authorities) and about the new director (despite latest five meetings against the poisoning on 2009 and on two of them with mentioning Olga Drozdova) – nothing.

Are they indeed following «blind» and have no idea what’s happening???

But in official relations is not taken to betray it’s the foreign partners, so they would never allow disturb warm friendly relations, especially if there is a possibility of opening several new shelters for «rescue» the situation on the eve of Euro-2012.

The initiative is already taken in the municipality: http://novynar.com.ua/politics/93594 ,
just it is not enough money to build 10 shelters, according to the City sterelization program in 2008th.
Maybe foreign colleagues would help us? Because right animal – this is important, especially in terms of allocation of funds: http://novynar.com.ua/politics/95799 ,
especially if no one is counting them: http://www.rbc.ua/ukr/newsline/2009/08/13/574814.shtml ,
especially if poisoned and shooted already counted generations: http://forum.ua-vet.com/viewtopic.php?p=176201#p176201

In order to «knock down» the real statistics and reduce it to a mythical «crowds and troops stays” that pose a threat to citizens, and which just needed be put in shelters, for that is madly lack of not  enough money”.
So, will the Germans will save the Country?

Option is spooky, but for common man looks quite acceptable: everything “as in Europe”, animals are living in shelters, streets are clean, children are happy, grandmother are fed, dog-owners walk strictly by walking areas, and the “threat” of cat-owners warned by relevant signs (as Mrs.Berzina proposed).
After the «forced» incredible cruelty – war against Nature and all who care (which is heated in a planned society split by numerous articles and media animal so that lovers are confrontated with animal-haters) suddenly switch to a» more humane rules «: rules about peace and order, animals, both sterilized and unsterilized are taken away into shelters, public volunteer organizations are replacing with «Animal rescue service» (provided by Borodyanka) – which may remove any unwanted animal from it’s owner with a  neighbor’s call, in order to (after keeping some time in the budget-supported municipal shelter) just put it down (which corresponds practice RSPCA, which at it’s homeland considered as inadequate ), and for those who remember the story of stolen 12.3 million hryvnas would be builded a cemetery, which entrance which will became paid soon, as it is in our Mayor’s tradition (as utilization is a very profitable thing to not make a profit on it, too, as Mr.Smurniy noted before).

Is problem solved? Can we thank the mayor that he «saved» all alien and citizens from dogs?
But is the problem solved in Europe?

According to data experts WSPA annually in England each year euthanized 10-16 thousand animals, in America – 3-5 million, and German public and community shelters are all filled… Experts note they regulated the number of homeless animals in the streets mostly by the method of euthanasia only, but emphasize the exceptional efficiency and humanity of this method. With all the «humaniy» cathing services annually caught the constant number of animals (cats and dogs) each year, most of whom – former home. If the animal is not adopted usually in 5-day period, it is euthanased, even if the animal has already been pre-treated and sterilized (with a live experience of our volunteers in conversation with employees of municipal shelter in Washington, known to us with “Animal cops” series).

One question is appeared: might ask: if euthanasia is so ineffective in regulating the number of homeless (as animals are born, sold and find themselves on the street, as animals caugh and killed sterilization in most applies to home animals, and at best – on population of street cats), why so many funds allocated every year on Programs for the regulation of the number of animals in euthanasia way? – But more about that is later.
Significant progress in humane regulation achieved only countries where the government introduced Programs sterilization and strict legal prohibition of cruelty to animals (in Poland it is prisoning up to 15 years for killing a dog). That is, the animals stop consider man as kind, which constitutes a danger for the population, and therefore no need to save themselves the only way acceptable to wildlife – reproduction (this pattern is valid with respect to both animals and people, which was seen by the examples of growth populations after the war, epidemics or climatic disasters). Nature itself is able to adjust themselves: if the density of filling one type of environment than optimal rules apply «sanctions»: epidemic viruses or females reduce or completely stop the birth (for example, laboratory research of L. Brereton on  populations of hare, mouse and beetle). That is, animal’s population mechanizm is able to inhibit reproductive function, and vice versa, «turns» her place in the environment if released.
A number of successful measures to increase the number of homeless animals provided:

– the financing MP Shelter for Animals in 2008-2009 is stopped, hunters complain about the lack of fuel for going to order the NGOs and volunteers.

– communal veterinary clinic in Troeschina that had used to sterelization of free almost stops built its work.

– Abolished mandatory licensing of private entrepreneurs for breeding of domestic animals (dogs, cats and other animals) in breeding nurseries (item number memory 9 1759 «On amending some laws of Ukraine on simplification of business conditions in Ukraine, approved by 15.12. 09), i.e., «Be fruitful and increase in number“, which in theory can lead to unscrupulous owners appearing on the streets homeless puppies and kittens – how as the product failed crossing and business animal-breeders» (those that hold thoroughbred only as an object of offspring).

– Later, after the appointment of a new «European» director «outside eyes» of workers in the shelter are exempted from office, and all activity is declared closed » commercial information «.
– Add more money in the treasury at the expense of exterminating sterilized animals (licensing and advertising on Call-center KSCA «otruyuvalnyh» companies), «money- laundering » – redirect funds that had to go for sterilization, in for the municipal elections in 2008.

And as a consequence – the «explosion» of population in 1-2 years due to release the natural environment – in that place where wards were previously sterilized animals were will come animals from the suburbs and nesotsializovani non-socialized and it will be necessary to sterilize tehm yet – or, at the «compromise» – put in shelters, which for Kyiv on the eve of Euro 2012 will needs an entire network – so that after the Euro again in 1-2 years a new population will «exploded».

That is, the situation in the years 2013-2014 will remain the same as before, only if there are in each district just every district will have its «Borodyanka (for money laundering) and 1-2 international shelters on the edge (for» accountability «), which is easily allow at first vidnahorodyty to reward each other «for progress» and then to criticize power «we tried, but nothing you could not nothing «, above all the more power in Kiev at that time had changed.

And since we do not have shelters dimensionless, we will are back again to the long-awaited European experience – to euthanasia.

The issue of euthanasia we already raised at the Cabinet 2009.04.06, but met with disagreement from animal-protectors (which tactically they were «merged» information tactically information were “merged” to them to verify its reaction) – since that time the question is no longer belonged raised, but they resorted to tactics of «heat of conflict a society» by algorithm

«divide and conquer!»

To the citizens impoverished and humilated by «social reforms» of citizens and to the general nervous bouquet are added the following: included:

1) “bites by aggressive hordes” (statistics pocus of the bites at home at 90% added to the statistics bites by homeless animals and calculated as total),
2). “bited kids” (according to official statistics – 16 cases per year, but the media given effect as “thousands»),
3). rumors about “journalist bited to death » (still no one drew called the press-service Communal utility «Shelter for animals» to account for the distribution of false statements about the death of a journalist form bites of “sterilized dogs in the red collars” that was as the ground pretext for police to officially closе the criminal case of murder of the person),

4). and, in general, rabies (all animals – street and recognized as potentially dangerous, that is a practice the Department of Veterinary Medicine in Kyiv for last 15 years).

It is known that to the practice of euthanasia it planned to return in the second capital of Ukraine – in Kharkov. Such an «League of euthanasiors”, with similar Kiev Center Identification promote devision all not indifferent people into «radicals»( inadequate) and «realists» (very appropriate) and will continue to cooperate and conduct negotiations only with the latest.

What’s the appeal of such an experience?

in the West every year a large budget is spent on procurement of hypnotic drugs, mainly – penobarbitol (fenobarbital, luminal, nembutal), which operates in small doses as a drug and is a list of psychotropic substances subject to special scrutiny by the legislation of Ukraine.

The question is: if you want need so much euthanasia annually, which in this case how is realised the drug, if it’s well knowing that small facts of abuse are taking place:
http://korrespondent.net/world/482411 ,

For it seems that similar this practice – is the main purpose of existing of «borodyankas” and her similar “concetration camps”: discarding cheating of ketamine and barbitura drugs (which is much more expensive than the same cheating discarding of forage, medicines, detergents and inventory to care for animals).
Not the fact that this practice is used in zoos.

coming soon…

Our people for 12 years have been fought for that killing was replaced with sterilization. For this purpose SPA SOS also was fighting throughout all its existence, as can be seen from it’s numerous interviews and position together with other participants of conference 2009.04.06 (journalists and public organizations – http://www.forumspaskiev.org.ua/databox/2008/07/17518.php) against intentions of Kyiv municipal administration to introduce «euthanasia» for regulation of number of homeless animals in Kiev, that is contrary to Article 16 of Law «On the Protection of Animals from Cruelty«:

«Control of the population of wild animals and animals not kept by man but existing in conditions wholly or  partly caused by human activity is carried out by surgical sterilization or biologically based methods and, where these cannot be used, by euthanasia».

Despite the fact that City authorities didn’t appropriate the declared funds for the program -»by the state on a 2008.12.12 financing of  the Program measures did  not come… project of decision of  Kiev City Council «About the Kyiv municipal program of regulation number of homeless animals with humane methods» for  consideration to Main Financial Administration did not come. Ratified decision 25.10.2007 № 1080/3913 also… did not come officially. Therefore funds on realization of the program was not  appropriated «(letter of Main financial administration № 048-2-1-04/73 -  http://dogicat.org/forum/download/file.php?id=2604 ),- publicity – animal carers, volunteers and animal protection organizations undertook a program to perform on their own costs.

But this situation – that the animal were sterilized despite the lack of funding obviously irritates those people very much who during 10 years of endless «catch-and-kill» became rich due to permanent renewal of animal population (Borodyanka have for long time cooperated with the National Agrarian University, that is why mechanisms of regulating population are well known to them). It was the probable cause whysomeone did not want Kiev city program, performed by citizens themselves, produced the results.

New director was dismissed by fraudulent prosecutions (it was the following reason: the previous director Mr. M. Kuchinski killed animals, then he escaped with all official documents in July 2007 when he learned that he will be dismissed. Those killed animals were attributed to director Mr. T. Smurnuy on the ground that his signature is on the documents – http://mmr.net.ua/news/newsid/13817/), despite it being known to everyone that on 2007.09.28 – the day of presentation of the new director to animal protection organizations -(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qR5x3UFZug) Mr. T. Smurnuy firstly officially entered «Borodyanka» and began his authority only since 13.09.2007.

After Mrs. Drozdova coming to her position all of new staff were exempt, while old workers were remained at their places.

Real animal population numbers significantly set too high, in order to create the impression that the сitizens are fighting with animals, for this purpose articles «about war with animals» appear in newspapers, and zoopsychologist of Borodyanka declares in press that after sterilization dog becomes aggressive.

I personally through half of year in 2007 visited the Borodyanka and places where animals signed to capture (when caught animals were killed, and press-inform of Borodyanka claimed that are brought in a «good conditions«) and personally convinced that during six months in Borodyanka never could refrain 1000 dogs and cats, while the majority of caught animals are cubs, that acounted the same way as adults.

SPA SOS, althought the new information about Borodyanka since Drozdova is on her post is absent on their web-site, twice paid attention to the work of new director – in the report to Interim Commission of Supreme Soviet of Ukraine for investigation the infringement of the Constitution of Ukraine and laws of Ukraine, making illegal decisions by officials of the Kiev city council and its executive body in 2009.05.07 and in interview to newspaper «Komsomolska Pravda» (2010.03.02).

«Animals in the MP» Shelter for Animals in Borodyanka contained in concetrate camp conditions. The funds appropriated for their maintenance, are not used for other purposes. Contrary to law, volunteers and carers of animals are forced to pay money for treatment and sterilization of homeless animals. The activity of these Сommunal enterprises requires thorough investigation by law enforcement agencies», – http://search.ligazakon.ua/l_doc2.nsf/link1/DF44Z00A.html

«Now a new director – mrs. Drozdova, I laid a great Hope on her management, but she continues to practice of previous leadership of this concentration camp for animals.» Borodyanka is closed to visitors, but after all, they must be interested in visitors.» – http://kp.ua/daily/020310/217502/

I spoke about this situation to the representative of SOS during a picket against poisoning on March 11, 2010 (where also protested against Drozdova: «ГЕТЬ ДРОЗДОВУ!» – http://community.livejournal.com/ua_indymedia/500952.html) but they seems to can’t do nothing.

There was hope that the situation will improve after finishing Campaign «STOP UKRAINE» and declaration of Boris Kolesnikov about humane approach to solving the quastion of animals – but Borodyanka remains the same. There is a suspicion – would not new shelters, opened to Euro 2012, the same way as «european» shelter of Borodyanka? I would like to experience Borodyanka was never repeated by anyone in the world.

I put the great hope that with Your support the conditions in shelter will be turned backwards, as they were before, althought the succes of replacing «a new, humane director» (known as Drozdova) was provided by foreign animal-care organizations.
