Financial support for animal shelters in Bruges

This summer, 138 recognized asylum seekers will receive a total of 678,000 euros in support. In addition, the shelters also received more than 1 million euros for the care they take for animals that were confiscated in 2021 – that is also a historically high amount. “In our city, Het Blauwe Kruis Brugge can count on 8,713 euros, Hippo-Agri Mark & ​​Mathias on 32,550 euros and Poespartoe on 3,106 euros extra support. With this financial support, they can further professionalize their operations and thus further improve animal welfare in our municipality,” says Flemish Member of Parliament Maaike De Vreese (N-VA).
