Israel And Animal Welfare
Israel's protection of animal welfare rests upon the Animal Welfare Law, 1994 which is composed of an Animal Protection Law and an Animal Experimentation Law. The law was originally introduced by Abraham Poraz and passed by the Knesset on January 11, 1994. Other regulations under the Animal Protection Law include the Animal Welfare Fund (1995) and permit requirements for the organization of animal exhibitions and competitions (2001).
Four other laws are also related to animal welfare in Israel: Wildlife Protection Law, 1955; Animal Disease Ordinance, 1985; Dog Regulation Law, 2002; and the Rabies Regulations (Vaccinations), 2005.
