• Memorial Plaque

  ...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...

• 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.

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...

  ...reputable Animals - A Bestiary of Human Fears", which takes us into the depths of the human psyche. December 21, 2023 The human psyche is remarkable and highly complex. When it comes to our relationship with animals, however, its sometimes deep abyss becomes apparent. Animals have fascinated people since time immemorial and at the same time fuel our fears. The human understanding of animals is often reflected in fables, myths and fairy tales and is, in turn, reinforced by these. Some animal species inspire us, we marvel at their abilities and even idolise them, or we investigate their amazing ...
