  • 2022 05 30 Council of States says no to a ban on imports of fur and hunting trophies: an incredibly sad day for TIR and animal welfare

    ...il of States (22:17 with two abstentions) voted against the proposed ban, instead referring to measures taken by international committees to protect endangered species it believes are effective enough. The upper chamber of Parliament is once again deflecting responsibility and carelessly sacrificing the most fundamental ethical values enshrined in the Swiss Constitution. Both TIR and OceanCare – an internationally renowned organization that has been closely monitoring polar bears and their precarious existence and provides scientific advice to various expert groups – had provided the members o...


  • 2024 05 17 Fire safety measures could save lives - a chronology of efforts to protect farm animals from TIR’s perspective

    ...Law (TIR), together with seven other organisations, is once again drawing the attention of the federal government to its responsibility in an open letter.   17.05.2024 Since 2018, TIR has been monitoring media coverage of fires in livestock farms. Analysing the background and prevention options revealed that this is an issue as complex as it is neglected. The Association of Cantonal Fire Insurers (VKF) is primarily responsible for protecting people and animals from fire, an institution that draws up fire protection regulations (BSV) that apply throughout Switzerland. These are declared binding...

Similarly, pigs weighing 100 kilograms may still be kept on less than one square metre.In addition, the enforcement of these minimum requirements does not hold. Research by organisations such as Tier im Fokus or Verein gegen Tierfabriken regularly reveals drastic violations of the minimum requirements. However, the  annual analyses conducted by TIR show that such criminal charges usually remain without consequences. In 2017, the TIR focussed its investigation on pig farming identified numerous problems in the areas of controls, enforcement of animal welfare r...

    ....org) and, together with six other libraries and archives currently participating in the network, offers access to specialized literature relevant to animals and nature. It is intended as a tool for all interested parties, researchers as well as media professionals and as a working and communication tool for the animal libraries themselves. April 8, 2022 The status of animals in our society has changed dramatically in recent decades. Interest in their diverse functions both in the ecological framework and within human society is steadily increasing. Recent branches of research are no longer i...


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

    ...nimals is supported with huge public subsidies. In view of the scientific objections, the uncritical financial support for animal experiments by public authorities and the blind trust of the animal experiment commissions and approval authorities in the benefit of animal experiments is unjustified. To create a solid basis for decisions on research funding and on the approval of projects involving animal experiments, there is an urgent need to subject animal experiments to a systematic benefit assessment. The pressing necessity for action in the field of animal experiments is also reflected in t...


  • 2021 03 24 TIR is disappointed: Grand Council of the canton of Berne rejects mandatory spaying and neutering of outdoor cats

    ...ng of outdoor cats With 88 to 55 votes, the Grand Council rejected the introduction of an obligation to spay and neuter outdoor cats in the canton of Berne at its meeting on March 18, 2021. The corresponding postulate was submitted by Councilor David Stampfli (SP) almost a year ago. TIR is disappointed about the decision of the Bernese cantonal parliament but will nonetheless continue to advocate at the national and cantonal level for mandatory spaying and neutering of outdoor cats. March 24, 2021 Switzerland's cats are suffering. Contrary to popular belief, there is a massive stray cat issue...


  • 2021 03 04 TIR files criminal complaint: animal welfare law also applies to fish!

    ...heart. In agreement with various experts, TIR assumes that in this case the criminal offense of mistreating of animals is fulfilled. Even though it is not clear from the report what exactly happened to the trout, all plausible scenarios suggest that the animal was subject to excessive stress. TIR has therefore filed criminal charges against the author of the report and another alleged offender. Fish have sense organs on their bodies. What is particularly noteworthy is their highly sensitive lateral line system, with which they perceive vibrations, currents and sounds in the water along the sur...

    ...ng tip of the month With this year's third issue of the newsletter, the library of the Stiftung Tier im Recht (TIR; Foundation for the Animal in the Law) presents selected and current new additions. We take a closer look at books, articles and film contributions on animal-relevant topics. 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.

    ... such as compliance with and enforcement of the convention, trade in ivory, and Japan's trade in strictly protected sei whales - among many other issues - were on the agenda. The entire conference programme can be viewed here. The Standing Committee discussed a number of issues relating to ivory trade, including the closure of national ivory markets. Legal markets allow illegal ivory to be smuggled and traded through these channels. The Standing Committee also suggested the importance of identifying ivory range and consumer countries through forensic investigations and other instruments, so th...


  • 2017 11 16 Animal welfare-related penal practice 2016: TIR analysis shows massive differences between the cantons in the prosecution of animal welfare-related offenses and also practically inexistent law enforcement in the field of poultry farming

    ... a new peak in 2016 with 2397 cases which can be traced back to a significant improvement of the penal system. Nevertheless, there are still large differences between the cantons. This year's report examined in particular the animal welfare regulations on poultry farming and the related penal practice. It turns out that the welfare and dignity of chickens are hardly taken into account on a legal level. November 16, 2017 Throughout Switzerland, the number of animal welfare-related criminal proceedings has almost quadrupled over the past ten years and has even increased more than sixfold in the ...
