Sretan ishod: lovački pas spašen iz jame!

Objavljeno u Ljubimci

Sezona lova na Hvaru traje od listopada do siječnja. Nedjeljom i srijedom lovci izađu na teren sasvojim psima, koji laju neprestano kad nađu tragove plijena.

U listopadu 2020 godine kod Gornjih Pitava na otoku Hvaru događala prava drama, ali na kraju se ipak dogodio happy end. Susanne P., inače članica udruge "Eco Hvar" koja živi u Austriji a ima kuću u tom pitoresknom selu, spasila je odbjeglog lovačkog psa iz jame uz pomoć vatrogasaca. A taj pas je prije toga više od tjedan dana lajao na tom šumskom području, početno se činilo da je tamo nakon nedjeljnog lova ostavljen bez nadzora, kako se to ponekad zna dogoditi, osobito s mladim lovačkim psima.

 

Međutim, kad je pas nastavio lajati s istog mjesta, danju i noći, posumnjalo se da je možda zapeo ili da je za nešto privezan bez odgovarajućih uvjeta. Sretna okolnost je da udruga "Eco Hvar" ima sjedište baš u Gornjim Pitvama, pa je Susane odlučila potražiti psa kad ode u šetnji sa svojom kujicom Poli. Inače, Poli je prava 'Hrvatica', usvojena preko udruge N & N Helping Dogs u Grazu, koja je spasila nju, njezinu mamu, braću i sestre kad su bili odbačeni negdje kod Dubrovnika. Inače, spomenuta udruga se istaknula pomažući životinjama u istočnoj Europi.

Potraga za psom trajala je dva dana, jer je prvog dana kad je Susanne išla prema spomenutom području lajanje prestalo, i to na nekoliko sati. No, drugog dana su ona i Poli uspjele locirati mjesto otkud se lajanje čulo.

Bilo je izuzetno teško doći do psa - kroz potok, po strmom terenu u gustoj šumi, a daleko od puta.... Ali bile su uporne, išle su sve dok nisu pronašle psa koji je zapravo upao u jednu jamu. Nije bila previše duboka, svega 1,50 metara, ali dovoljno da pas nije mogao vani, niti čovjek unutra bez nekakvih ljestvi.

Austrijanka je odmah o događaju obavijestila predsjednicu udruge “Eco Hvar”, Vivian Grisogono, i poslala joj fotografije mobitelom. Naravno, uslijedila je brza reakcija, informacija je prenijeta Tončiju Batošu, lovočuvaru LU otoka Hvara, koji je angažirao vatrogasce da krenu u akciju spašavanja životinje. Zapovjednik DVD-a Jelsa, Roman Radonić, se bez puno razmišljanja s ljestvama uputio do Susanne i Poli, da bi mu ona pokazala gdje je ta jama. Pomoć je čekala više od sat vremena, jer su prilike bile takve da se bojala ako s tog mjesta ode da ga naknadno možda neće ni naći.

Ni Romanu nije bilo baš lako doći do njih makar je mlad i spretan čovjek, a kad je ipak stigao za čas se spustio u jamu i iznio psa vani. Bila je to jedna kuja, dugodlaki istarski gonič, sva prljava i šokirana, ali što je najvažnije bez vidljivih ozljeda. Nekako se s tim lajanjem spasila od smrti, ali tamo zasigurno ne bi mogla biti još dugo, niti preživjeti.

Bila je mirna i očito zahvalna da je spašena. Odmah je smještena na sigurno, dobila je hranu i vodu. Drugog dana članica udruge "Eco Hvar", Sara Radonić, koja ima grooming certifikat, krenula je očistiti kuju od guste bujne dlake, jer od nje gotovo nije mogla otvoriti usta.

Ubrzo se javio njen vlasnik (podatci poznati redakciji), kazavši da je traži već deset dana nakon što je nestala nakon lova i bio je sav sretan da je njegova Dijana napokon pronađena. Po dogovoru, nakon četiri sata čišćenja, kuja mu je vraćena sva čista i uredna, bez vidljivih posljedica od opisane traume.

To nije prvi put da je Dijana nestala, ona je često bježala čim bi joj se ukazala prilika, potvrdio je to i lokalni veterinar rekavši "... Znamo da je kuja sklona bježanju i vrlo se teško vraća doma. I ranije smo bili svjedoci da je nije bilo i po nekoliko dana. Jednom prilikom pobjegla je dok smo cijepili ostale pse kod njenog vlasnika, svi psi su se u vrlo kratkom vremenu vratili, a ona je opet bila pronađena tek nakon 10-tak dana. Smatramo da vlasnik nije uzrok, jer da je onda bi se na isti način ponašali i drugi njegovi psi, prema svemu sudeći kod nje je naglašena lovačka genetika, ona uvijek nešto traži i samo gre naprijed, njoj su potrebne kilometarske šetnje i bez njih jednostavno ne može."

Članovi i simpatizeri udruge "Eco Hvar" presretni su da se i ova saga dobro završila, jer je zaista mogla imati tragičan kraj. Preporuka je da je dobro da psi imaju GPS, jer ih se tako puno lakše može naći kad se izgube. Čest problem je da lovački psi lutaju poslije odrađenog lova, pogotovo ako su tek nedavno dovedeni na škoj, ali istini za volju to se može dogoditi i kućnom ljubimcu kad ide u šetnju sa svojim vlasnikom.

  • Exclusive: Chris Hinchliff urges environment watchdog to block rules that will allow almost 16,000 new homes in one of UK’s most protected areas

    The environment watchdog is being urged to intervene in “cash to trash” planning rules that will allow almost 16,000 new homes in the Norfolk Broads despite the damage to one of the UK’s most environmentally protected areas.

    Labour’s flagship planning reforms allow damage to protected habitats and species to be overlooked if developers pay into a central nature restoration fund, which is used for conservation actions at a later date. These environmental delivery plans (EDPs) have been called “cash to trash” by critics, who say they roll back decades of environmental law and are a “licence to kill nature”.

  • So far not a single target of the plan has been met. As negotiators convene for Cop17, the pressure is on to find a way to honour the commitments made at previous summits

    Passersby could smell the dead fish before they saw them. In August, more than 3,000 pike, roach, carp and rudd were found lifeless along the River Wensum in Norwich. Some gasped for air in their final moments, desperate for the oxygen that heatwave conditions had depleted in the water. Investigators believe that the die-off was triggered by heavy rainfall that flushed through high concentrations of pollution at a time when wildlife were already struggling.

    The 45-mile (70km) chalk river is one of about 250 in the country. They are a geological accident almost unique to Britain – and one of Earth’s rarest habitats. They emerge from chalk aquifers and are home to species such as freshwater shrimp, otters and stoneflies, also providing drinking water for millions of people. But just 11 have formal protection, with many ravaged by sewage pollution and overextraction. The Norfolk river is one of the few that does have legal protection, but it is in poor ecological health.

  • Letter from 150 scientists, MPs and activists calls for action to protect lower-income and minority-ethnic communities

    The government must hold an inquiry into the unequal impacts of air pollution, 150 scientists, MPs and activists have urged.

    Research by the Institute for Fiscal Studies shows that across England, lower-income areas have persistently higher levels of air pollution than wealthier areas.

  • Expedition was drawn to Nikumaroro after spotting what was described as a metallic glint in waters off uninhabited island

    A US expedition that voyaged to a remote Pacific island in the hope of solving the mystery of what happened to pioneering pilot Amelia Earhart has said an object they suspected to be her plane was a clump of washed-up trees.

    “Unfortunately, we weren’t able to find that smoking gun,” said Steve Schultz of Purdue University, standing on the sand in front of a blue lagoon on the atoll of Nikumaroro, about halfway between Australia and Hawaii.

  • Warning for other Arctic communities as residents told not to use water in Longyearbyen in Svalbard, one of the fastest-warming places in the world

    Residents of a remote town in Norway that is in one of the fastest-warming places in the world have been told they must no longer drink tap water due to heavy metal contamination that scientists have linked to the thawing permafrost.

    Longyearbyen, in the archipelago of Svalbard, gets its main drinking water supply from a 1.5 mile-long (2.5km) dammed lake called Isdammen, or “ice pond”. Higher temperatures as a result of the climate crisis have thawed permafrost, leading to newly exposed bedrock leaching metals into the pond.

  • Caistor St Edmund, Norfolk: Rosehips, sweet chestnuts, sloes – there’s an order and a rhythm to their gathering, tied to the season and folklore

    The government suggests stockpiling, and while tins and candles might prove useful, a more ancient urge kicks in for me at this time of year. Walking the hedgerows, the colours of jewels entice me, and my pockets fill with rosehips or glossy conkers. It’s ingrained. For a vast stretch of human history, we survived by foraging for food and medicine, even after agriculture became widespread.

    My blackberries are stashed in the freezer. Folklore advises picking them before Michaelmas on 29 September – or 10 October in old folklore, when the devil spits on them. It’s reasonable, thus avoiding mouldy or frosted fruit.

  • Conservation work by RSPB has led to recovery of terns, gulls, plovers and oystercatchers on England’s south coast


    The colony of sandwich terns nesting at Pagham harbour, West Sussex, was completely wiped out by bird flu in 2022. But numbers have bounced back from zero to 756 breeding pairs in just three years after conservation work in the Solent.

  • Spar pilot scheme will test whether heirloom fruit can thrive in today’s commercial and environmental conditions

    Only about 10 of the 2,000 types of apples growing in Austria can be found in supermarkets among the polished, pristine fruit usually on display – a sad ratio according to fans of historic varieties being primed for a comeback.

    One of the country’s biggest retail chains has embarked on a pilot rollout of unusual and long-forgotten apples enjoyed in previous centuries, riding an international trend of reviving heirloom fruit and vegetables.

  • Program founded by tomato growers has some of the strongest US worker protections – and its approach is being emulated by other groups

    “It’s the kind of heat that makes you feel like you’re being dehydrated, like your skin is drying out,” said Lucas Benitez, after harvesting watermelons with his sons and wife this summer. “The heat that we had 30 years ago is not nearly the heat that we have today.”

    This summer was the hottest on record in the US, and most workers in fields, greenhouses and unconditioned indoor facilities still do not have heat protections on the job, putting their health at risk as the climate crisis is expected to make extreme heat more frequent and intense.

  • In the face of terrible crises, it can feel right to shock people into action. But what if that has the opposite effect?

    These days, it’s easy to succumb to hopelessness. Whether you’re thinking about the climate crisis, the prospect of AI apocalypse, war or political turmoil, the list of challenges facing humanity can seem insurmountable.

    It certainly feels unprecedented, and much of it may be. The sense of impending doom, on the other hand, is nothing new. And what we have learned from the past is that doomerism can lead to paralysis. If everyone freezes, then nothing changes – but if we want to have a chance of mitigating some of the threats I’ve mentioned then action is what’s required.
