Odlučili smo da umesto Kodeksa:
- kažemo da je naša misija … da obezbedimo da odgovoran odnos ljudi prema prirodi i svim živim bićima, kao i zaštita životinja i životne sredine, postanu deo svakodnevnog života ljudi;
i - da pozovemo sve ljude dobre volje da zajedno sa nama ostvare našu viziju, a to je jednako pravo na život za sva živa bića.
A da bi to postigli moramo živeti i raditi u skladu sa nekim pravilima. Izabrali smo da to budu Molbe jednog psa, u kojima je sadržana suština svih vrsta ljubavi i svih odnosa, jer “humanost je nedeljiva”.
Molbe jednog psa
- Moj život traje 10 do 15 godina. Svaki rastanak od tebe za mene znači patnju.
Razmisli o tome pre nego što me uzmeš. - Voli me onakvog kakav sam, jer si me ti birao.
Ja nemam tu mogucnost, da biram prijatelja i gospodara. - Daj mi vremena da shvatim šta od mene tražis. Pre nego što me, u toku obuke,
izgrdiš - preispitaj sebe, možda ti grešiš ili ja ne mogu da shvatim šta ti želiš. - Voli me,
ja živim od tvoje ljubavi. - Ne ljuti se na mene i ne kažnjavaj me.
Ti imaš svoj posao, svoje prijatelje, svoju razonodu, a ja imam samo tebe. - Pričaj sa mnom!
I ako ti se čini da te ne razumem, ja ipak znam šta ti misliš i osećaš. - Znaj da ja ne zaboravljam kako se sa mnom postupa.
- Pomisli, pre nego što me udariš, da te ja sa lakoćom mogu ugristi, ali ja to nikada ne radim.
- Ne uzimaj me kao igračku, dok sam mali i sladak,
da bi me kasnije odbacio, jer je moja ljubav prema tebi večna. - Brini o meni kada ostarim, ostanem bez zuba, ogluvim i prestanem da se krećem.
I o tebi če se neko brinuti - starost je ista za sve. - Prati me na mom poslednjem putu ...
Nemoj nikada reći: “Ja to ne mogu da gledam” ili: “Neka se to dogodi u mojoj odsutnosti”.
Sa tobom je za mene sve lakše. Neka ti to bude dug za moju vernost i našu lepu mladost. - Kada me više ne bude bilo, nemoj tugovati, već usreći nekog novog psa i voli ga kao što si mene voleo.
A Dog’s 12 Pleas
- My life will be between 10 and 15 years long. I suffer every time you leave me on my own.
Please consider that before you adopt me. - Love me the way I am, because you chose me.
I do not have the option to choose my friend and owner. - Please give me time to understand your needs and wants. Before you scold me during training,
re-examine yourself, maybe you are in the wrong and I cannot understand you. - Love me,
I sustain myself on your love. - Do not get mad at me and punish me.
You have your job, your friends and other entertainment, and I have only you. - Talk to me!
Even if it appears I do not understand, I know your thoughts and feelings. - Know that I do not forget how I am treated.
- Remember before you hit me, I can easily bite you, but never do it.
- Don’t adopt me to be a toy, while I am little and cute,
only to abandon me later, because my love is forever. - Care for me when I am old, toothless, deaf, and immobile.
Someone will care for your old age, it is same for everyone. - Follow me on my last voyage…Don’t ever say: “I cannot watch this”, or, “Do it in my absence”.
With you, everything is easier for me. Let that be the repayment of debt for my loyalty and our happy youth together. - After I am gone, please do not grieve, but make another dog happy and love him the way you loved me.
We thought about writing a Codex of Rules of Conduct to focus attention of our potential members, collaborators, volunteers, donators etc towards the aims of our Society and help them to decide whether they would like to join us.
Instead a Codex we decided to declare
- that our mission will be to provide that a responsible attitude of people towards nature and all the living creatures as well as the animal's and environmental protection, become part of their everyday life
and - to invite everybody to join us in good will to make together our vision real, which means to achieve equal right to life for all the living creatures.
Since we have to live and work according to some rules, we choose them to be ,,12 Pleas of a Dog“ that contain the essence of all kinds of love and all relationships, because ,,humanity is indivisible“
