CSO Purpose
The purpose of the BARC is to promote the welfare and health of animals, which is therefore central to the work of the Association. BARC’s primary beneficiaries are animals, while Humans and society at large are secondary beneficiaries. The two main goals of the BARC are thus: a) To protect the welfare of animals in the broadest sense and to promote and represent their interest. The BARC bases its existence and actions on the intrinsic value of animals, independent from the utility value which animals may have for humans. Animals are sentient beings with feelings, consciousness and integrity and need to be treated with respect, kindness and compassion; b) To promote the healthy co-existence of animals and humans and to stimulate the progression of a society based on Gross National Happiness where animal welfare is an important pillar of societal progress.
