The moratorium or the presidential decree forbid the killing of dogs that do not pose a threat to the health of humans or other animals.

Painless death is administered in the following cases:

1. after laboratory diagnosis of an incurable disease which has led to irreversible pathological changes causing the animal pain and suffering;

2. proven aggressive behavior that endangers the life or health of people and animals, provided that no organization or private person has consented to keep the animal in a manner that will guarantee the safety of people and animals.

Until an animal protection law is adopted, we see a practical application of the WHO-recommended strategy for stray dog control, a model also supported by various other international experts, as well as by the Bulgarian contribution to this successful approach.

The Flying Brigade is a basic component enabling people in all towns and villages to benefit from the services offered to the dogs: deworming, rabies shots, neutering, and registration, all of which will ensure that animals - and hence people - stay healthy.

Activity spreads in two main directions:

1. Prophylaxis:

   a. Maintenance of a database necessary to plan for neutering surgeries; informing people through brochures and consultations with the doctors on the team.

   b. Deworming and rabies vaccination.

   c. Issuing of passports and registration.

2. Reproduction blockage for the street dogs and all other dogs kept outside, by neutering the healthy animals in a mobile clinic.

- a sharp decrease in the number of street dogs;

- health status of dogs that poses no threat to people and animals;

- beginnings of an ecological education for an entire generation with an emphasis on the humane treatment of animals;

- possibility for voluntary citizen involvement.
