Intimate With Nature Society: Statement of Aims Animals are to be loved and cared responsibly!

Intimate With Nature Society is a non-profit organization for inspiring people to respect and care responsibly about animals.

We have the intention to achieve our aims observing the following three fields:

A. Legislation:

• Harmonization of Bulgarian and EU Conventions and Council Directives for Humane treatment of animals.

• Adoption of an Animal Protection Law in Bulgaria.

• To help veterinary inspectorate to ensure the proper applying of the legislation.

• To help for establishment of an independent group for monitoring legislation for humane treatment, transportation, slaughter, experiments, biotechnology and find resources to implement its role.

• To create a team of animal defence-lawyers in order to protect animals from cruelty.

B. The organization effectiveness and citizen participation:

• To improve organization's efficiency and qualification of its members.

• To establish an organized network of groups and NGOs having as similar policy as ours.

• To provoke debates on various levels, with citizens and authorities.

C. Reduction of Stray Dogs Population in Bulgaria:

• Motivating all citizens, by informative programmes, to contribute to the mass sterilization.

• Centers for free sterilization for stray animals.

• Shelters - a complete Pet Rescue Center - where people can leave their companions instead of abandon them.

• Rehoming/adoption programmes - especially with old people (pensioners) even by a financial help from the side of the animal welfare organizations.

• Euthanasia of animals which are proved by a vet to be incurably sick and/or aggressive.

• Terminating the reproduction period of female animals by injections until sterilization.

• Deworming, special marking, rabies vaccination.
