The Public Body of Bonaire (OLB) has a new working group focused on the welfare of animals on the island. The creation of the Animal Welfare Working Group is a continuation of the previous Dog Welfare Working Group and shows that the OLB remains committed to making life better for all animals on Bonaire.
Continuation of previous efforts
This new working group builds on the work of the Dog Welfare Working Group. It will focus on the current problem of (loose) dogs and is committed to a wider range of animals. The main goal of the working group is to improve the living situation of animals on our island and reduce complaints, with special attention paid to their well-being and health.

Through educational programs and information initiatives, the working group wants to ensure that animal owners and animal lovers have the necessary information and skills to properly care for their pets.
