			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="plus-one-wrap"><g:plusone size="small" href="http://blog.martinmcdowell.com/prinesite-svoje-bolne-zivali-157.html"></g:plusone></div><p><a href="http://blog.martinmcdowell.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/puppysmall2.jpg" rel="lightbox[157]"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-175" style="margin: 0px 5px;" title="CB106189" src="http://blog.martinmcdowell.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/puppysmall2.jpg" alt="" width="164" height="153" /></a>Živim v državi, kjer imajo že večletno zgodovino zavesti za boljšo skrb živali. To sicer morda vsakogar ne bi prepričalo po branju <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/hunt" target="_blank">člankov</a> o večletni tradiciji brutalnih <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_hunting" target="_blank">lovov na lisice</a>, so pa nasprotno precej bolj strpni in dobrodelni do hišnih ljubljencev in konjev in bi marsikaj storili za njihovo blagostanje.</p>
<p>Ravno ta teden smo se namreč na kliniki, kjer delam, pridružili projektu <a href="http://www.dogstrust.org.uk/" target="_blank">DogsTrust</a>-a, ki to poletje nudi kastracijo/sterilizacijo ter mikročipiranje za zgolj 10 funtov (okoli €12.6). Zgolj v informacijo, mikročipiranje v Veliki Britaniji ni v domeni države in zato ni &#8220;brezplačno&#8221;, kot v Sloveniji vendar tu lastnikom ni potrebno plačati takse v vključene v obveznem cepljenju. Tu obveznega cepljenja, tudi proti steklini, ni in tako tudi ni načina, da bi država pobrala kaj od tega. Seveda imajo posledično veliko manjši odstotek psov čipiranih, kot je to primer v Sloveniji.</p>
<p>Se vračam nazaj na temo subvencioniranje posegov na malih živalih. <a href="http://www.dogstrust.org.uk/" target="_blank">DogsTrust</a> je precej velika dobrodelna organizacija, ki se je za ta dotični projekt povezala z največjo britansko mrežo trgovin za male živali <a href="http://www.petsathome.com/" target="_blank">Pets at Home</a>. Vse kar zahtevajo od stranke je, da prikažejo, da so zares upravičeni do subvencioniranega posega in to velja za ljudi na eni od oblik <a href="http://www.benefitsinmind.org.uk/step_2_means_tested_benefits.htm" target="_blank">socialne pomoči</a> in plačajo 10 funtov. Potem pokličejo eno od klinik, ki je vključena v projekt (npr. <a href="http://www.fentonvets.co.uk/" target="_blank">nas</a>) in se naročijo. Precej enostavno.</p>
<p>Sicer je podobnih dobrodelnih organizacij kar nekaj in nekatere, kot npr. <a title="The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals" href="http://www.rspca.org.uk/servlet/Satellite?pagename=RSPCA/Local/LocalHomepage" target="_blank">RSPCA</a> in <a title="People's Dispensary for Sick Animals" href="http://www.pdsa.org.uk/managed/finder.html" target="_blank">PDSA</a> imajo svoje klinike, kjer nudijo brezplačne ali precej cenejše veterinarske storitve.</p>
<p>Bom zaključil članek z napisom, ki ga je ustanoviteljica <a class="zem_slink" title="People's Dispensary for Sick Animals" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Dispensary_for_Sick_Animals">PDSA</a> <a href="http://www.pdsa.org.uk/mariadickin.html" target="_blank">Maria Dickin</a> razobesila nad vhodom v prvo kliniko v londonskem <a class="zem_slink" title="Whitechapel" rel="homepage" href="http://www.towerhamlets.gov.uk/data/in-your-ward/whitechapel.cfm">Whitechapel</a>-u, novembra 1917:</p>
<blockquote>

In fact it was organized by the <a class="zem_slink" title="Nurse" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurse">nurses</a> at our clinic and it raised funds for Moggies in Need and the <a class="zem_slink" title="Pembrokeshire (UK Parliament constituency)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pembrokeshire_%28UK_Parliament_constituency%29">Pembrokeshire</a> Hedgehog Hospital as well as raised awareness of <a href="http://www.bvna.org.uk/">National Veterinary Nurse Week</a>.<br />
The competition was divided into three main groups: rabbits (judged by <a href="http://lh3.google.com/Martin.McDowell/RzjIvnwEB2I/AAAAAAAABbs/5WwwCEBpto0/s144/PB100074.JPG" rel="lightbox[66]">Emma Barton</a>), cats (judged by <a href="http://rvc.facebook.com/profile.php?id=501185432"></a><a href="http://lh4.google.com/Martin.McDowell/RzjJ43wECMI/AAAAAAAABeg/V4r68zZmNgM/s144/IMG_0330.jpg" rel="lightbox[66]">Karen Grace Reynish</a>) and other <a class="zem_slink" title="Pet" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet">pets</a>, except dogs (judged by <a href="http://lh4.google.com/Martin.McDowell/RzjI-3wEB7I/AAAAAAAABcU/-ZjaRPWRJFk/s144/PB100078.JPG" rel="lightbox[66]">Andrea Falberg</a>). Each group was then also divided into two sub-groups for where the handler was either above or below 8 years of age. I had the honor of taking the photos of the event.</p>
