  • 2017 03 21 Tierimrecht.org now available in English!

    ...Tier im Recht (TIR) is therefore pleased to announce that it can now also present important contents of its website in English. March 21, 2017 In the autumn of 2016, TIR launched its new, completely revised website providing better and more user-friendly services. To date, tierimrecht.org has largely limited itself to content in German, which has made it more difficult or even impossible for the large part of "the world" to access the website. However, animal welfare does not stop at language and other barriers and different legal systems should be able to learn from each other and benefit in ...


  • Swiss animal welfare law: not as good as Swiss chocolate

    ...ly, their suffering is consciously accepted and legitimised with the help of legal provisions. The current animal welfare regulations only define minimum standards, the adherence to which does not guarantee a species-appropriate or stress-free life for the affected animals. But there is also an urgent need for action with regard to the enforcement of animal welfare legislation by the competent veterinary and police authorities, public prosecutors and courts: The suffering of animals is systematically trivialised, animal welfare violations are tolerated for too long and cruelty to animals is no...


  • 2021 09 10 New TIR brochure: Stop indiscriminate funding of animal experiments!

    ... animal experiments is increasingly criticized not only in view of animal ethics, but also from a scientific standpoint. One criticism is that results from animal experiments often cannot be reproduced in subsequent experiments and that, in most cases, the findings cannot be extrapolated to humans. Nevertheless, animal experiments are still routinely approved. In Switzerland, for example, less than one percent of all requested animal experiments are rejected. In addition, research on animals is supported with huge public subsidies. In view of the scientific objections, the uncritical financial...


  • 2016 04 20 Protecting wild animals from poaching – The fight against the illegal wildlife trade

    ...07. The main reason is the growing demand for rhino horn powder, especially in Asia where it is thought to have healing effects. Rhino horn is now being sold at higher prices than gold. The situation is also tragic for elephants: according to a current survey, an estimated 100'000 elephants were killed by poachers for their ivory between 2010 and 2012. Not only elephants and rhinos are affected by poaching, but also many other species, such as the now rare pangolin. Apart from ivory and rhino horn, also live animals, such as birds, reptiles, fish, apes, and numerous other mammals are being smu...


  • Species conservation

    ...oint of view. There is no federal act on species conservation and all relevant provisions can be found in various federal laws, such as the Nature and Cultural Heritage Protection Act and its corresponding ordinance. Also, there are provisions regarding species conservation in the hunting and fisheries laws. Due to the transnational nature of species conservation, Switzerland is also a party to several important international species conservation conventions. The Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) is of major importance in this re...

  • 2021 04 02 Egg consumption reaches new high – animal welfare lags behind

    ... than in 2020. This is highly problematic in terms of animal welfare dignity: Not only are the chickens subjected to maximum performance levels for this, but they are also killed after a very short time. In addition, it is still common practice to kill the male chicks in the egg industry with gas. April 2, 2021 Last year, laying hens in this country laid more than one billion eggs for the second year in a row according to the Federal Office for Agriculture (FOAG) market report. The number even increased by 6.3 percent compared to the previous year. In addition, import figures also increased co...


  • 2020 10 19 Newsletter TIR Library: TIR presents reading tip of the month

    ...s. This month's tip is about traditions of human eating behavior, their evolutionary significance, the biospheric effects of meat consumption, and the question of whether a meat-free diet could be the future. October 19, 2020 The production of meat consumes tremendous amounts of resources. Water, energy and grain consumption is huge, and the consequences for the climate and environment are enormous. Moreover, countless animals suffer in the factory farming industry. In addition to the animals, low-wage workers are also exploited in animal factories and slaughterhouses.Despite the ever-present ...


  • 2016 08 10 TIR files complaint against Circus Royal for animal dignity violation

    ... Swiss Circus Royal is presenting a questionable show involving an act with lions. The legally protected dignity of these animals is clearly violated during the show. The Stiftung für das Tier im Recht (TIR) therefore filed a complaint for animal cruelty and demanded an immediate end to the lion act. August 10, 2016 The Swiss Animal Welfare Act protects not only the well-being of animals but also their dignity. Dignity protection, which is also enshrined in the Constitution, grants animals an inherent worth and implies that they do not primarily exist for human interests but for their own sake...

The new campaign by Vier Pfoten, the Stiftung für das Tier im Recht (TIR), and ProTier underpin the call for a statutory ban on wild animals in circuses. March 5, 2019 The 2019 circus season has begun: And once again, circuses are parading big cats in their rings. Despite having a relatively progressive animal welfare legislation, Switzerland lags far behind other countries: 28 European countries have already placed considerable restrictions, even bans, on wild a...
