When the authorities were called in, as per usual nothing was done. The veterinarian involved unbelievably after watching the evidence ( Viewer discretion advised) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yC6wPj4iJz0#at=445 and seeing for himself the horrific state of the mans animals at his farm declared there was no wrong doing!
This was a blatant case of deliberate animal cruelty and neglect, yet the authorities as is normally the case in Croatia choose to look the other way. So our charity decided to force them into re-examining the evidence and to dismiss the excuse of a veterinarian involved.
Thanks to our petitioners and the 200 of you that took the time to email the authorities we are pleased to announce that the matter not only made national news, but more importantly has forced the re-examination and we hope the instant dismissal of the vet.
