Dear representatives of animal protection organizations. The U-LEAD with Europe Program is launching a survey to obtain your opinion on the role and exercise of powers of local self-government bodies in the field of animal treatment. Since we are focused on increasing the capacity of hromadas, we cannot stand aside if the problem of animal treatment becomes alarming in the context of military aggression. Based on the results of the survey, we want to
- assess the state of relations between animal rights activists and local authorities;
- understand how to draw the attention of local authorities to this issue so that you are not left alone;
- to hear what actions of the authorities, in your opinion, will be the most effective;
- to conduct a series of training events for the authorities to establish effective communication with animal rights activists;
- to create conditions for humane treatment of animals in the territories of communities from large to small;
- support individual communities in implementing projects in this area.
We expect your answers by April 20.
Thank you for your time. The questionnaire is available here (Ukrainian only).
