  ...nd towards building a plant-based society. March 21, 2024 The vegan movement is omnipresent. Thanks to new technologies, the range of plant-based products has increased enormously in recent years and supermarkets, clothes shops and drugstores can no longer be imagined without them. And sales are high. While the movement fascinates and often even manages to change people, it irritates or annoys others.Joël Luc Cachelin, author of this book, writes that a vegan revolution must be comprehensive and radical in order to shift from the consumption of animal proteins to succeed. Although some industr...

  ...ly. It is therefore a sad moment when our longtime friends pass away. The loss of an animal is a significant and emotional moment in life. It is therefore only natural that many animal owners wish not only to bid farewell to their darlings in a dignified manner but also to preserve their memory.For this reason, TIR has created a memorial fund for deceased pets. Animal owners have the possibility of making a contribution to animal welfare in honor of their pet. The memory of the loyal companion is then perpetuated with an entry in a "virtual memorial plaque". At the same time, the donation prom...

  ...n the book "Wasps - A Reconciliation", which offers fascinating insights into the life of wasps and highlights their remarkable behaviour and abilities as well as their usefulness to the ecosystem. July 1, 2024 Our society is largely unaware of the important role wasps play in the global ecosystem.

  ...ifficult for him as a professional runner and speaker. At the same time, he is overwhelmed by the energy set free from being so close to nature.

• 2022 02 08 Update on TIR campaign to ban the import of hunting trophies

  ...y recently printing a flyer on the topic. February 8, 2022 In trophy hunting, the goal is to preserve the hunted wild animal or parts of it and display it as a trophy. In general, the rarer the species and the larger the horns, manes or tusks, the more desirable an animal is as a trophy. Trophy hunting of animals covered by the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) is highly problematic from both a species protection and an animal welfare perspective.

  ...lture is considered a sustainable alternative to wild fishing, the industry often conceals the actual origin of the fish. The use of fishmeal and fish oil – products that themselves come from wild catches, thereby furthering overfishing – is also often concealed. The book also explains that animal welfare issues are prevalent in hatcheries. The high mortality rate clearly shows that fish, as sentient animals, suffer under these conditions. Land-based recirculation systems (RAS) are currently being discussed as an alternative to aquaculture and hatcheries. Although these enable better water...

• 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...

• Federal Constitution

  ..., animal welfare is a constitutional principle and its objectives may therefore restrict fundamental rights expressly guaranteed by the Constitution, such as personal freedom, freedom of faith and conscience, freedom of scientific research, economic freedom, and the guarantee of property rights. A truly unique constitutional provision is article 120 paragraph 2 FC which stipulates that the federal government must take into account, among other things, the dignity of the creature, which also includes animal dignity, when adopting regulations on the handling of the genetic material of animals, p...

Current animal husbandry and the consumption of animal products entail a long list of negative impacts which, in addition to animal suffering and climate emissions, also pose health risks to humans.
