Israel's protection of animal welfare rests upon the Animal Welfare Law, 1994 which is composed of an Animal Protection Law and an Animal Experimentation Law. The law was originally introduced by Abraham Poraz in 1993 and passed by the Knesset on January 11, 1994. Other regulations under the Animal Protection Law include the Animal Welfare Fund (1995) and permit requirements for the organization of animal exhibitions and competitions (2001). Amendments and changes to the law have been made number of times mostly in 2005. Several other laws are also related to animal welfare in Israel: Rabies Ordinance, 1934; Fishing Ordinance, 1937; Public Health Ordinance, 1940; Wildlife Protection Law, 1955; Plants Protection Law, 1956; Criminal Procedure Law, 1982; Animal Disease Ordinance, 1985; National Parks, Nature Reserves (and zoos), National Sites and Memorial Sites Law, 1991; the Law of Veterinarians, 1991; Dog Regulation Law, 2002; Rabies Regulations (Vaccinations), 2005; and Prohibition on declawing cats unless for reasons vital to the cat's health or owner's health, 2011;. ==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.〔Israel Ministry of Agriculture: Veterinary Services (Cruelty to Animals Law, 1994 (English) ).〕〔(Amendments to the Cruelty to Animals Law, December 2005 (English) )〕 Around 3.5 million NIS (US$782,000 or €616,500) were allocated for animal welfare between 2005 and 2006.〔Ministry of Environmental Protection.
