2018 03 29 TIR criticizes insufficient legal protection for 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 breeding and conditions under which broiler chickens are kept often lead to painful joint injuries, ulcers, and inflamm...

2024 03 21 TIR Library Newsletter: Our Book Recommendation
... The vegan movement is omnipresent. Thanks to new technologies, the range of plant-based products has increased enormously in recent years and supermarkets, clothes shops and drugstores can no longer be imagined without them. And sales are high. While the movement fascinates and often even manages to change people, it irritates or annoys others.Joël Luc Cachelin, author of this book, writes that a vegan revolution must be comprehensive and radical in order to shift from the consumption of animal proteins to succeed. Although some industrialised countries are already experiencing a decline in m...

...ins habitable. This is because dead algae and their carbon-rich husks remain in sea-floor sediments for a long time, thereby storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere long term. In doing so, algae our planet from becoming an unbearable greenhouse. The book introduces various projects aimed at cultivating algae, for example, to produce biofuel or compostable packaging. One example is the American shoe company Vivobarefoot, which replaces its foam components with algae and even makes some shoes entirely from algae, like its "Ultra III Bloom" model. Other products made from algae include standu...

2016 05 31 Animal welfare organizations demand a Swiss ban on the import and transit of hunting trophies
...vironmentalist, who is calling for an import ban in a vide by OceanCare. May 31, 2016 Over the last few decades, biodiversity has dramatically decreased around the world. Habitat loss, poaching, and global trade are only a few of the reasons why more and more species are becoming extinct. But also the legal hunting of endangered and internationally protected species, such as lions, elephants, rhinos, and polar bears, is threatening entire animal populations. With the death of Cecil the lion, the subject was brought back into the focus of the public eye. Africa in particular is a popular travel...

2023 07 21 TIR Library Newsletter: Our Book Recommendation
...the animal industry is a radical step that philosopher and animal rights activist Friederike Schmitz proposes in her new book. Current animal husbandry and the consumption of animal products entail a long list of negative impacts which, in addition to animal suffering and climate emissions, also pose health risks to humans. Minor adjustments in animal welfare regulations to reduce animal suffering, as well as the individual contribution of a minority of the population to abstain from or drastically reduce animal food, are no longer sufficient by far to prevent serious consequences for the glob...

2019 04 15 TIR calendar 2019 – April question on animal welfare law
...aw The TIR calendar is quite popular because it not only contains wonderful animal photos but also answers a monthly question regarding the human-animal relationship. April is dedicated to the question "How does the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) regulate cat ownership?". April 15, 2019 Question:"I am finally ready to get a cat. Since there are so many homeless animals, I would definitely want to adopt a cat from a shelter. What legal provisions do I have to comply with regarding cat ownership?"TIR's answer:Every animal keeper (that includes animal owners and anyone with an animal under their care)...

2019 01 07 No animal takes pleasure in suffering! – TIR launches new campaign against animal cruelty
...punished at all. It is imperative that awareness for this injustice be repeatedly heightened among the public and the authorities.The campaign's message, "No animal takes pleasure in suffering", paired with the depiction of a dog, a cat, a cow, and a parrot in BDSM attire aims to highlight the fact that, unlike humans, animals cannot give their consent to abusive treatment. They are vulnerable and defenseless, which is why it is all the more important that we have animal-friendly laws and that they are enforced consistently. This also calls for humans who are unwilling to look away when witnes...

2018 02 02 TIR files criminal complaint for animal welfare violations in chicken rearing
... to suffer and feel is given little consideration in the conventional poultry meat and egg industry. For example, it is permitted to keep up to 27,000 broilers in the same facility until the 28th fattening day. From the 43rd fattening day onwards, a maximum of 18,000 animals are permitted. It is hardly possible to meet the needs of the individual animal in such intensive farming systems, even though chickens are equally covered by the animal welfare legislation as are all other vertebrates. They are protected in their well-being and dignity just as much as dogs, cats and cattle. The law requir...

2018 06 15 TIR disappointed: Council of States relaxes restrictions on wolf hunting
...Tier im Recht (TIR) is following these developments with great concern. It had already made its views clear to the members of the Council of States in a statement prior to its decision. June 15, 2018 On August 24, 2016, the Federal Council opened consultation procedures for an amendment to the hunting act and submitted the corresponding dispatch to parliament on August 23, 2017. The new legislation provides for the regulation of populations of certain protected species if there is a risk of serious damage or a threat to humans despite preventive measures. In addition, the federal government g...

...duction methods TIR is happy to announce its new publication "Zulässigkeit von Beschränkungen des Handels mit tierquälerisch hergestellten Pelzprodukten" (volume 16) from its series "Schriften zum Tier im Recht". The publication examines whether a ban on the import and/or placing on the market of fur products made by using cruel production methods is consistent with Switzerland's international obligations and how such a ban could be designed and implemented in practice. September 8, 2017 Thanks to many awareness-raising campaigns by animal welfare organizations, fur products were frowned upon ...
