POKRET ZA PRAVA ZIVOTINJA U RH: POKUSAJ PREGLEDA/THE ANIMAL RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA : A REVIEW

The article stems from a review of the animal rights movement in the Republic of Croatia, in both its theoretical and activist orientation. In relation to the activist orientation of the animal rights movement, the emphasis must certainly be on Croatia's first animal rights organization -- Animal Friends Croatia founded in 2001, to be followed by another a year later, by Animal Voice, which has Christian, or more precisely, pre-Christian inspiration. The author includes four conversations in the article (with Hrvoje Nezic, Domagoj Pintaric, and representatives of Animal Friends Croatia and Stop Speciesism), hoping to record directly the activist voice. However, the author was unable to spoke with members of the Animal Liberation and Merry Vegans organisations, since they are no longer active. But been able to spoke with Animal Voice in 2007 about the issues encountered by the organisation with its pre-Christian orientation, in which the outline of the conversation was given in this article.
