TARF Constitution

§ 1. Aim & scope

A. It is the aim of Toy Animals' Rights of Finglas (TARF) to improve the health and living conditions for TA's not only in Finglas East, Ireland, but in the world in general.

B. We believe that every Toy Animal (TA) has a right to be treated with fairness and respect and to be recognized for the important work they do.

C. We consider a TA to be any animal filled with stuffing whether assembled by hand or machine with the intention of achieving a look of an animal, be it cute or ferocious, and to serve as a lucky charm, souvenir or as a comfort to human beings, in particular children of all ages.

§ 2. Members of TARF

A. Every TA automatically qualifies for membership.

B. Owners can qualify for membership of TARF through their TA('s) if they comply with the following:

Every TA should be named and given a personal identity

Every TA must have sufficient space allocated to be considered its home

Every TA should be given belongings such as clothing, mugs, furniture and toys

Every TA should be treated individually and with care and respect

Damaged or worn out TA's should if possible be repaired
