2024 02 07 Lack of fire protection measures on livestock farming - TIR calls for clear legal provisions
...alities. The reason is to be found in the lack of specific, expressly prescribed preventive obligations that every livestock owner must fulfil. In order to protect these tragic barn fires in the future, TIR is campaigning for specific fire protection measures to be enshrined in the Animal Welfare Ordinance. Februrary 7, 2024 The Foundation for Animals in Law (TIR) has been monitoring media coverage of fires in livestock farms for several years.

2018 03 29 TIR criticizes insufficient legal protection for poultry
...lso frequently fail to pay the necessary attention to the plight of chickens. March 29, 2018 The capacity of poultry to suffer and feel is given little consideration in the conventional egg and meat industry. While advertisements and product packaging regularly show "happy" chickens in small outdoor groups, the reality is very different: Most of the nearly 11 million chickens kept in Switzerland live in hangars with several thousand animals. It is permitted to keep up to 27,000 broiler chickens up until the 28th fattening day and 18'000 animals after the 43rd fattening day.High-performance bre...

Swiss animal welfare law: not as good as Swiss chocolate
...e Switzerland likes to claim that it has one of the strictest animal welfare laws. However, a closer look reveals that even in this country, certain forms of husbandry and practices are still permitted in the treatment of animals that significantly restrict their welfare and dignity. In order to use animals intensively, 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 the...

2021 04 02 Egg consumption reaches new high – animal welfare lags behind
...gs behind According to surveys by the Federal Office for Agriculture (FOAG), the number of eggs produced and consumed has never been higher 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 ...

August 10, 2017 Every year, tourists bring souvenirs to Switzerland that are made from protected animal and plant species, such as ivory carvings, corals, turtle shells, feathers, woods, etc., even though their importation is only allowed with valid documents or is even entirely prohibited. Many animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction and are therefore protected by the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) or by national laws.
