• 2017 08 29 Scandalous case of animal cruelty and lack of law enforcement in the canton of Thurgau

  ...rities did not take immediate action which according to the Animal Welfare Act must intervene right away in case of reported animal abuse. It took a huge public outcry and persuasion from animal welfare organizations and concerned citizens for the authorities of the canton of Thurgau to finally step in and confiscate the horses on the property of Mr. U.K.Shortly after, the horses were put up for auction and sold off to new owners, which in itself was a welcome decision. However, the auction took place almost immediately after confiscation, which was clearly not in the interest of the animals i...

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

  ...lty 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 the Animal Welfare Act also protects animals from humiliation and excessive instrumentalization, i.e. from stress that is not necessarily associated with physical pain and suffering. An animal's dignity can only be violated when there ar...

• 2018 10 22 TIR supports referendum against the construction of the Ozeanium in Basel

  ... coral reefs are in immediate danger, with demand for aquarium fish playing a major role. Since almost none of the species concerned are protected, no internationally binding regulations and registration requirements are in place, and inspections provided for by the exporting countries are virtually non-existent, there is no transparency regarding the number and type of organisms captured. This makes it impossible to sustainably catch saltwater aquarium fish. It is the Ozeanium's declared goal to promote awareness for the protection of the oceans in line with the principle of sustainability....

  ...e not be allowed to enter Switzerland. An import ban for fur products from animals that have been subject to animal cruelty is therefore urgently needed.A fur ban would be the only way to prevent  the domestic demand from promoting fur production forms abroad that are clearly rejected by a large part of the Swiss population. In a legal opinion written in cooperation with experts in the field of international law, TIR has demonstrated that an import ban would be compatible with Switzerland’s international trade obligations, contrary to the concerns expressed by the Federal Council and the Co...

  ...ean conscience when buying fish products. However, animal welfare has so far hardly been taken into account in the ASC standard. The Foundation for Animals in Law (TIR) therefore supported the petition launched by fair-fish for the inclusion of animal welfare criteria. It was handed over to the ASC which has reacted with a positive response. January 26, 2018 Labels are meant to advertise products that go well beyond the legal minimum standard with regard to the conditions of manufacture, for example in terms of fair wages for suppliers, sustainability or animal welfare.

  ...s also advised when buying souvenirs. August 10, 2017 Every year, tourists bring souvenirs to Switzerland that are made from protected animal and plant species, such as ivory carvings, corals, turtle shells, feathers, woods, etc., even though their importation is only allowed with valid documents or is even entirely prohibited.

• No wild animals in Circuses

  WILD ANIMALS IN THE CIRCUS RING? NO, THANKS! For a ban on wild animals in circuses – in Switzerland, too! Using wild animals in circuses is highly problematic from an animal welfare perspective. For one thing, it is almost impossible to provide the animals with species-appropriate housing conditions on circus premises, and for another, wild animal shows often violate the fundamental principle of animal dignity enshrined in Swiss animal welfare law. Nevertheless, unlike in many other countries, the use of wild animals in circuses is still permitted in Switzerland.The animal welfare organization...

  ...ies conservation on site. However noble voluntary work is, it can prove counterproductive when volunteers helping in the rearing of lion and tiger cubs unintentionally promote trophy hunting. Animal farm owners often falsely claim that the cubs have been rejected by their mothers and promise volunteers that the animals will be reintroduced into the wild. Reintroduction is almost impossible, especially with regard to wild felines that have become so accustomed to humans. Instead, after rearing, the animals are used for canned hunting, which is a special and morally highly questionable form of t...
