Tel Aviv Task Force

Yesterday, Tel Aviv officials announced the creation of a voluntary police unit for animals. As part of the joint initiative created by the Mesublin police station and the Gush Dan Veterinary Services, unit volunteers will be granted authority equal to police officers, to be used to patrol neighborhoods and rescue animals in distress. In order to better assist injured and abused animals, volunteers will be trained in basic veterinary practices and Civil Guard procedures. Head of the Gush Dan Veterinary Services Dr. Mosche Rafaelovich hopes to have the group trained and running within the next few weeks. Those who wish to serve on the task force must be 18 years or older, have served in the army, and have no criminal record.
