Claudiu Ciurea Jane Turner Bogdan Grimling and "The Boys"
Many of you will be aware that Claudiu worked for Jodie Fairbrother and will be aware of his accident and whilst it was a truly horrific accident which has impacted on a mans life, it does not entitle him and others to continue their illegal activities in the UK.
Below you will see Jane Turner talking to Jodie Fairbrother, Jane worked with/utilised/used (whatever you want to call it) Jodie's transport to bring in a dogs from Bosnia without the correct documentation. ( I have now been informed that they were unaware of the correct procedures and thought the dogs were brought in legally) As Jane runs a rescue, my opinion is that she had a responsibility to ensure dogs were brought in legally. Not just Jane, anybody bringing dogs in from abroad must ensure they are informed, more so when it involves a non EU country.
The pet passport scheme was set up to allow dogs to travel with their owners. The assumption is that owners will ensure their dogs are in good health, that they are vaccinated, wormed etc as they care for their beloved pets.
It is being abused by Bosnian "rescuers" who use falsified Bosnian passports to take dogs to Hungary where they meet with transporters coming from Romania, they are put on Romanian traces with Romanian passports.
As with Serbian dogs, they do this because it is cheaper, in many cases they do not vaccinate the dogs or worm them, the dogs do not have to be checked by a vet or obtain a health certificate - if brought out legally they would have to do so.
It sickens me to hear of dogs near starvation being brought over, dogs covered in hundreds of ticks, dogs dying on route or shortly after their arrival because so called rescuers - despite receiving thousands in donations and adoption fees - have never sought treatment for the dogs. And how on earth can dogs who have been with rescuers for weeks be on the point of starvation. These people are not rescuers and those working with them, allowing this vile trade to continue are just as bad.
So £5 for a Bosnian passport, no, that's the fake Romanian passport so the dog can be put on Romanian traces. Frustratingly, this is how most Bosnian dogs are still smuggled out instead of coming to the UK legally and UK rescues have to start taking responsibility. I have nothing to do with the world of international rescue and yet was aware of what is and isn't legal within days. Those who have been importing dogs from Serbia and Bosnia for years should know better.
Bogdan Grimling, Vlad Florin and Claudiu Ciurea all worked for Travel4paws. They were paid cash in hand and all brought in illegal dogs. Bogdan Grimling now has his own company New Life Pet Transport and Claudiu, Bogdan Nica (who's van Grimling also used) and Vlad Florin are all working to establish a new transport company.
So have they learnt from their mistakes whilst working with Travel4Paws? Are they now legally registered and insured? Have they stopped bringing in illegal dogs? Are they any better than Jodie was when she brought in illegal unvaccinated Serbian and Bosnian dogs?
Based on the number of illegal rescuers and their US and UK counterparts that have been added to their groups, I think not. Consider also that Claudiu is telling a woman he can pick up a Serb rescue dog in Vidin on the Romanian/Bulgarian border - which is NOT a border inspection point!
This to me is just Travel4Paws with Fairbrother removed.
To stop this illegal trade, rescuers and fosters in the UK need to refuse to accept dogs without the correct documentation. Transporters need to refuse to carry them and trace units need to stop selling passports and chips. Only by doing so will rescuers start following the correct procedures! Those supporting this illegal trade should be ashamed of themselves for putting animals and humans in the UK at risk unnecessarily and it needs to STOP.
The screenshots are just snap shots to show those named are/have been involved in illegal transporting. 400+ screenshots have been forwarded to APHA.

The above are all proven to be involved with Bosnian or Serbian dogs entering the UK without the correct documentation and are members of Claudiu's or Grimling's groups.
There are numerous screenshots on other posts showing the involvement of those named and my final post will provide details of people in the UK who are mentioned above.
