    ...l dog training aids A dog must have a balanced character and be well socialized. It must also not be aggressive towards humans or other animals and must not endanger them. In this context the question often arises as to what type of aids are permissible for breeding and training purposes, especially because certain devices are legally sold while their use is prohibited in Switzerland. May 10, 2021 The Swiss animal welfare legislation clearly prohibits, among other things, to mishandle, neglect or unnecessarily overwork a dog. The Animal Welfare Ordinance also contains special provisions that r...

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 cat...

    ...nventional approach to highlighting efforts to recognise the fundamental rights of non-human animals. November 17, 2023 Humans (Homo sapiens) occupy a special position compared to animals in terms of their mental abilities, as we learn from the compact encyclopaedia of biology, defining the term human. Our social behaviour and physical characteristics indicate that primates and humans have the same ancestors and that we are biologically an animal species. It is obvious that there are differences between humans and animals. In many respects, however, they show more similarities than scientists ...

    ...ation ‘We Animals - A New History of Humanity’, which provides a fascinating insight into the lives of the most resourceful, aggressive and at the same time most contradictory animals, namely humans. December 20, 2024 We humans like to differentiate ourselves from animals, even though we have a lot in common with them and are animals ourselves, in some respect. We are at odds with being on the same level as a pig or a monkey, for example. However, we like to adorn ourselves with attributes of other creatures that enhance our human abilities, but which we ultimately cannot achieve; for exa...

    ...y the Swiss reached a new record of 1.51 billion in 2017. Despite these horrendous numbers, the conditions under which the animals are kept and killed are rarely a matter of public concern. Especially in poultry breeding and husbandry as well as in the context of egg production, the worst excesses of livestock farming can be seen. Unfortunately, the authorities responsible for the enforcement of animal welfare legislation also frequently fail to pay the necessary attention to the plight of chickens. March 29, 2018 The capacity of poultry to suffer and feel is given little consideration in the ...


  • 2016 08 10 TIR files complaint against Circus Royal for animal dignity violation

    ...Royal is presenting a questionable show involving an act with lions. The legally protected dignity of these animals is clearly violated during the show. The Stiftung für das Tier im Recht (TIR) therefore filed a complaint for animal cruelty and demanded an immediate end to the lion act. August 10, 2016 The Swiss Animal Welfare Act protects not only the well-being of animals but also their dignity. Dignity protection, which is also enshrined in the Constitution, grants animals an inherent worth and implies that they do not primarily exist for human interests but for their own sake. That is why ...
