  • No wild animals in Circuses

    ...NG? NO, THANKS! For a ban on wild animals in circuses – in Switzerland, too! Using wild animals in circuses is highly problematic from an animal welfare perspective. For one thing, it is almost impossible to provide the animals with species-appropriate housing conditions on circus premises, and for another, wild animal shows often violate the fundamental principle of animal dignity enshrined in Swiss animal welfare law. Nevertheless, unlike in many other countries, the use of wild animals in circuses is still permitted in Switzerland.The animal welfare organizations ProTier, VIER PFOTEN (FOUR ...

Pathogens and parasites such as salmon lice spread quickly here and are often combated with synthetic, sometimes illegal, chemicals that cause even more damage to the marine ecosystem. Escaped farmed fish also threaten wild stocks which are already endangered.Although aquaculture is considered a sustainable alternative to wild fishing, the industry often conceals the actual origin of the fish. The use of fishmeal a...


  • Wildlife Protection

    ... Climate change and a rapidly growing population, leading to increased demand for habitable land and consumer goods, are putting immense pressure on ecosystems and natural resources. As a result of this, wildlife habitats are shrinking. Rainforests, for example, give way to palm plantations for the production of palm oil. The scarcity of habitats also leads to an increase in conflicts between wildlife and humans, especially in rural areas. At the same time, the demand and thus the market for wildlife and wildlife products is growing. Business with exotic animals for the pet market is flourishi...
