Animal Welfare System
Israel's Minister of Agriculture is responsible for implementation of the law and the Minister of the Environment appoints trustees to file complaints against offenders. The law establishes an Animal Welfare Fund to promote education, information, and aid to animal welfare groups. Around 3.5 million NIS (US$782,000 or €616,500) were allocated for animal welfare between 2005-2006.
Projects include:
- Education
- Animal Welfare Trustees

- Promotion of animal adoption
- Assistance to the Israel Police
- Response to public requests for assistance to animals in distress
- Special projects
- Aid to animal welfare organizations
- Participation in Knesset discussions and protecting animals

Famous quotes containing the words animal, welfare and/or system:
“You don’t want to be an animal, you want to observe your own animal functions, so as to get a mental thrill out of them. It is all purely secondary—and more decadent than the most hide-bound intellectualism.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Borrow a child and get on welfare.
Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,
or go to the public park with the child, and take the child
to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
“All who wish to hand down to their children that happy republican system bequeathed to them by their revolutionary fathers, must now take their stand against this consolidating, corrupting money power, and put it down, or their children will become hewers of wood and drawers of water to this aristocratic ragocracy.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
