• 2022 05 30 Council of States says no to a ban on imports of fur and hunting trophies: an incredibly sad day for TIR and animal welfare

  ...l of States decided today on three animal welfare bills, all of which were intended to bring about long overdue legal amendments aimed at improving the protection of animals. First, the Council debated the proposed ban on the import and transit of hunting trophies derived from endangered or threatened species (Mo. 19.3263 by Isabelle Chevalley, GLP/VD).

  ...y on July 31, 2017 Today is World Ranger Day, which is dedicated to all rangers who have lost their lives or have been injured during their service.

• 2025 11 07 The FEI changes the ‘blood rule’ – TIR criticises this decision

  ...cises this decision Today, the FEI General Assembly voted 82 to 20 in favour of amending the so-called ‘blood rule’ in show jumping. In doing so, the International Equestrian Federation has significantly weakened a regulation that serves animal welfare. Whereas visible blood on a horse was previously sufficient grounds for disqualification, from January 2026 onwards, an on-site assessment will be carried out to determine whether the horse is ‘fit to compete’ despite its injury. From TIR's point of view, this decision is a step backwards. November 7, 2025 In the run-up to the FEI vote on the ‘B...
