Information Regarding the Presence of Animals at FALa 2025
You can bring your dog or other pet to FALa. Local animals also live at Kacze Bagno: chickens (in a fenced area) and a cat.
If you plan to bring a pet, please mention it in the application form. We will contact you to arrange an online meeting where we will explain what it’s like to have pets at FALa and answer your questions and concerns.
All animals at FALa must have up-to-date vaccinations (rabies and infectious diseases) and be dewormed. Additionally, we ask you to purchase liability insurance (OC) covering damages caused by animals.
Please keep in mind that the conditions at FALa may be challenging for your pet, including: a large number of unfamiliar people, including children; the presence of other animals; time spent without you while you participate in activities; and the partially fenced area. It has happened that calm and well-behaved pets, in the new environment and among a large group of people at FALa, have behaved unpredictably—for example, previously gentle dogs have fought with other dogs. It is also possible that some participants may be afraid of animals (e.g., dogs) or have allergies. If it turns out that the presence of an animal limits another participant’s ability to take part, or if the animal behaves in a disruptive or dangerous manner, you will be required to remove the animal from FALa. However, such situations have been very rare so far.
During FALa, the following rules regarding animals apply:
- Animals are not allowed inside buildings. If you bring a pet, plan their accommodation (e.g., a spot in your tent).
This rule does not apply to guide dogs and assistance dogs (in accordance with Article 2, point 11 of the Act of August 27, 1997, on Vocational and Social Rehabilitation and Employment of Persons with Disabilities (Journal of Laws 2024, item 44)). - You are responsible for your pet and its behavior, including any damages it may cause.
- You are required to clean up after your pet immediately.
- The general principle of non-violence also applies to animals.
- There will be no access to a refrigerator for storing pet food or cooking meals for animals, so dry food is the best solution.
