KOLINJE - REMAINS OF THE DARK AGE
Kolinje - Croatian custom of slaughtering of animals on homesteads,
results with hundreds of thousands of bloody yards and thousands
of cases of Trichinellosis disease every year.
Even though such cruel and primitive, and above all non-hygienic,
practice is banned in the European Union which Croatia is trying
to join, the Croatian Government is trying to preserve this custom.
Animal Friends Croatia wants the Croatian Government to ban the
slaughter of animals on homesteads and to change the disgraceful
Animal Welfare Act.
We made a proposal for a new Animal Welfare Act in which, among
other activities, the kolinje - cruel private parties of
animal slaughters - is banned.
Look the short film that shows the way the animals are traditionally
slaughtered in Croatia, and appeal the Croatian Government to support
the change of Animal Welfare Act and ban the slaughter on homesteads.
