...omo 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 have for a long time assumed. In the field of law, animals are not considered to have legally enforceable rights and obligations....

International Conventions
...ions Switzerland is a party to many international conventions that directly or indirectly affect animals. Some agreements are limited to the international trade in animals, such as the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). There are also other conventions on species conservation, such as the Bonn Convention, which aims at the conservation of migratory animals, or the Bern Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats. Animals cannot choose in which country they want to live or where they are kept, making t...

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...

...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. Instead of recognizing their potential, they are often labelled as "aggressive", "mean" or "useless". In short, the winged beauties unfortunately enjoy a rather bad reputation. In this book, "Wasps - A Reconciliation", Seirian Sumner attempts to transform the aversion towards these animals into appr...

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. Nevertheless, it is offered in many places as an attraction for hunting tourists. S...

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...

2018 06 14 TIR supports "Stop Live Transport" campaign
...ountries, there are a number of provisions for the protection of animals for slaughter and fattening during transport. For example, regular watering and feeding are required and the animals must be given time for rest. However, investigations into live transports by animal welfare organizations like Animals' Angels show that the provisions in place are being systematically violated. Many animals are exported overseas to other continents, meaning that the animals oftentimes spend days on the road before being loaded onto ships to continue their harrowing journey. In theory, the animal welfare p...

...rground hunting for a long time, is very pleased about the decision of the Bernese Parliament.

This means that in the future, underground hunting in the canton of Berne will be restricted to exceptional and clearly defined cases. In underground hunting...
