...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) – and thus the keeper of a cat – is required to meet the animal's needs as best as possible. They must ensure the animal's physical and psychological well-being and make sure that the animal is free from pain, suffering, harm, fear, and any other violations of its dignity.

... decided to refrain from further broadcasting of this specific program. In his assessment of the program, the deputy ombudsman also stated that he could very well understand that the practice shown in the video could be unsettling for viewers. He also pointed out the fact that SRG broadcasted a show depicting the torture of an animal without critically commenting on this. It would have been necessary to explicitly make viewers aware of this practice of "crab cleaning" and its animal welfare-related implications. From a journalistic standpoint, it would have been necessary for the SRG to distan...

...l in order to shift from the consumption of animal proteins to succeed. Although some industrialised countries are already experiencing a decline in meat consumption, global consumption will continue to increase over the next five years. This is also shown by the 2018 Meat Atlas published by the Heinrich Böll Foundation, which forecasts a 13 per cent increase.

Farmers in European small and medium-sized farms are increasingly getting under pressure because the investment costs for large machines and high-tech equipment are not feasible. Government subsidies for mass production in order to produce a lot of meat cheaply are set high. Thus, industrial mass ...
