Swiss animal welfare law: not as good as Swiss chocolate
...aim 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 there is also an urgent need...

...The illegal killing of wild animals and the trade involved has assumed alarming proportions and has brought many species to the brink of extinction. In March 2016, the National Assembly called for stricter criminal sanctions against the illegal trade. Tier im Recht (TIR) welcomes this and urges the buyer and transit countries to better meet their responsibilities. April 20, 2016 Over the last year, 1175 rhinos were illegally killed in South Africa alone, compared to 13 in 2007.

Wildlife Protection

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 flourishing, but parts of wild animals and products made from them - such as reptile leather, tiger and lion bones, ivory, or pangolin scales - are also in demand. For certain species,...
