Loading...Vucko The Dog: Face Blown Off With Firecracker
Here’s the horrible tale of what happened to Vucko, the German Shepherd.
Two drunken teenagers in Bosnia decided to have “fun” by duct-taping a firework in a German Shepherd’s mouth and blowing off his face. Having done this, they took off, leaving the helpless creature to suffer. The poor dog, known as Vucko, apparently wandered in agony for five days, unable to eat. Finally, he was picked up by authorities and taken to a vetenarian’s office, but had to be euthanized after vets were unable to perform reconstructive surgery.
Watch Vucko Being Examined On The Operating Table
Click here to see some footage of Vucko being examined by vets on the operating table, but be warned that it is extremely graphic. Notice the firework’s shell casing still embedded in the dog’s head.
Vucko’s death doesn’t have to be in vain. This tragedy is a perfect opportunity to promote animal abuse awareness in Bosnia, where animal rights are virtually non-existent, and to work to deter anyone in the future from committing such horrible crimes.
From The Institute For War & Peace Reporting:
In a country racked until relatively recently by savage ethnic warfare, few appear to have time or emotional energy to consider animal welfare.
Nor do the courts offer much guidance to the zoo authorities. Bosnia has no distinct law on the statute books concerning cruelty to animals.
(….)
Humiliation of animals for public entertainment is routine in Bosnia. A television report last October, for example, told the story of a restaurant owner on Mount Vlasic who kept a caged bear to amuse his guests.
His piece de resistance was to intoxicate the animal with liquor every day in front of the diners, claiming the bear “simply loves it”.
Take Action Now!
Given this situation in Bosnia, advocates need to show the world that atrocities such as this won’t simply be seen and then forgotten. Vucko never harmed anyone and his cruel death must not be in vain. He deserves that much from the compassionate people on this earth.
Click here to sign our petition urging the Bosnian government to draft stronger animal cruelty laws, and to hunt down the guilty parties in this tragic case.
Rest in peace, Vucko.

What I want to know, is what scumbag had the balls to vote no in the poll?
Bosnia seems to have very cruel and disgusting people, every time I hear about that country they are killing or hurting people or animals, so very sad. Rest in peace Vucao, you're far better off at Rainbow Bridge.
I signed a petition for Vucko-name of this wonderful dog- in november 2011.I don't know about results. I only hope that now he is beside of god and he has all the love that he deserves.
Shame on his assassins! God bless you Vucko my dear.
We simply need to wake up as humans in this day and age and CALL OUT ABUSERS!! Whether they be kids/teens/adults, there is so much cruelty even in the US that could be eliminated if someone just cared to take a moment, call 911 and report this horrible practice. Demand better laws!! For the love of my Pikachu & Libby...we must do better because we know better!
if i could i would tie them to the back of my truck and drag them around until there skin had a lot of road rash all over it then cut them lose and they them wonder around looking for help.
they should put a bottle rocket up their asses AND SET IT OFF if they servive then they should be put in a prison in mexico for two years then send them to iraq with an american flag tattooed on them with no weapon
So......If anyone could simply give me a way to find these people.....I'll kill them. :)
I"ll do it slowly. I'm ok with that, Seriously.

This cruelty is appalling!! I read this today and have been upset all day!!! Please bring these monsters to justice. Having done something like this I have no doubt that there will be more cruelty in their lives if they are not stopped. Please do not let the suffering of this poor innocent animal be in vain! Punish those guilty of this heinous crime and PLEASE create laws against animal cruelty!
