If a horse with a bleeding mouth injury continues to be ridden, even though the injury is known and the lesion is irritated and possibly aggravated by continuous rein action, this is also considered abuse. The same applies to the use of spurs on previously injured flanks.Unfortunately, there is no clear case law on blood on horses during equestrian events.

In case of negligence (for example, someone lets a notoriously uncontrollable dog run freely on breeding grounds), there may be an additional punishment for cruelty to animals.

For example, dogs that are repeatedly seen hunting in the canton of Zurich can be shot down by game tenants or other authorized persons, if the dog owner has been given prior written warning. Similar provisions exist in the cantons of Aargau, Basel-La...
