Stiftung Bündnis Mensch & Tier
The non-profit foundation Bündnis Mensch & Tier promotes a sustainable improvement of the human-animal relationship based on a species-adequate care, handling and housing as well as an animal friendly and respectful approach to the individual animal.
With your support we are able to continuously work on our projects, organise events and provide information and texts without charge for all interrested in human-animal contact and animal walfare.
The foundation pursues the following objectives (a) establishing and strengthening the “Netzwerk Begegnungshöfe” (b) promotion of science and research in the area of Human-Animal Relationships (c) providing up-to-date information and consulting in the area of Human-Animal Relationships, on species-adequate care, handling and housing.
(a) Netzwerk Begegnungshöfe, in essence agricultural farms where opportunities for human-animal contact are provided (e.g. as certified Animal-Assisted Activities).
The Netzwerk Begegnungshöfe promotes autonomously managed farms throughout Germany and Austria in their work to provide opportunities for Human-Animal Contact on bases of high quality standards. Members of the network act in compliance with animal welfare standards as well as an animal-friendly and respectful handling of animals.
They offer a wide variety of human-animal contact for visitors of all ages: kids, adults and senior citizen. The farms welcome all kind of visitors coming from kindergarten and school classes, companies, retirement homes, social facilities and of course families.
An excerpt of activities:
- Human-Animal Contact and animal-assisted intervention
- recreational activities (eg. Walks with llamas, donkeys, horses, sheep, goats ... )
- environmental education, activities in conservation and animal welfare
(b) In order to promote human-animal relationship in science and research, a high-level and interdisciplinary scientific dialog is supported by the foundation. We mainly focus on fundamental research and the integration of Human-Animal Relationship in scientific teaching.
(c) The foundation establishes a network of professional scientists and practitioners in the field of Human-Animal Relationship providing information on the homepage of the foundation (mainly in German): starting from target-group specific publications up to information about more general questions as “What are the total costs of keeping a pet?”
In addition, a team of practitioners in the field of human-animal contact and Animal-Assisted Intervention offers sophisticated consulting regarding species-adequate housing and training, answers to specific questions in human-animal communication, support in planning and establishing Animal-Assisted projects, handling and housing of farm animals, etc.
