    ...etween legislation, official enforcement, media and politics in the field of animal welfare law "live". The programme is primarily aimed at law students from all over Switzerland with a Bachelor's degree,  but also at lawyers who have already completed their studies, as well as students from abroad. A number of students from Europe and the USA have already completed an internship at TIR due to a lack of comparable programmes in their respective countries of origin.

  • 2019 04 15 TIR calendar 2019 – April question on animal welfare law

    .... This could be the case, for example, when a cat has just arrived at a shelter and needs to be accustomed to the other animals or during the first two weeks of the lactation period when mother cats remain near their young. Cats kept in individual enclosures must be given the freedom to roam for some time outside of their enclosure on at least five days per week. Male breeding cats may not be kept in individual enclosures between mating periods.  The animal welfare legislation only lays down minimum requirements with regard to the treatment of animals. Responsible animal keepers will always go...


  • 2019 12 18 TIR pleased: Matthias Aebischer launches proposal to ban import of fur products from animals that have been subject to animal cruelty

    ...ly declared.In any case, TIR is sure that a mere declaration requirement for fur products is not enough from an animal welfare point of view. The fur production methods commonly used abroad clearly represent cruelty to animals according to the Swiss animal welfare law. Fur and fur products produced in such a way should therefore 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 tha...

    ...erland as a special case is justified as it has more animal-friendly legal norms than most of the other investigated countries. That said, in Switzerland, there still are, of course, huge shortcomings in terms of animal-welfare law and much room for improvement. TIR's presentation received a lot of approval and interest from the international audience. In view of the next IAHAIO world congress (which will take place in Denver/Colorado in 2013), the co-authors of the study are considering to publish it internationally. By working together more closely with the other nations, the foundation ho...


  • 2024 02 07 Lack of fire protection measures on livestock farming - TIR calls for clear legal provisions

    ..., especially in the case of difficult-to-access barn compartments or very large numbers of animals, which is why precautions against such losses are particularly important. Nevertheless, in many cases, fire protection measures are not sufficiently implemented.A legal obligation to prevent fire damage can already be derived from existing animal protection regulations. For example, anyone who keeps or cares for animals must provide them with the accommodation necessary for their welfare. Furthermore, the animal keeper must immediately rectify any defects in facilities that affect the well-being ...

    ...ssible to seriously check the compliance with the labelling obligation. In their statement, the four organisations therefore call for a regulation according to which the burden of proof lies with the sales outlets. They should therefore have to prove that undeclared products were actually obtained without the cruel methods to be declared.You can find the full statement on the planned amendments to the ordinance here. In the interests of animal welfare, the four organisations hope that their proposals and suggestions will be taken into account as far as possible. More information: Joint stateme...

    ...nd days on the road before being loaded onto ships to continue their harrowing journey. In theory, the animal welfare provisions in force in the EU must also be observed on their further transport. However, even if there were serious inspections in place, it would be impossible to enforce the regulations in force, meaning they become a dead letter the moment the animals have left EU territory. The same is also true for live transports from Australia, for example. In the past year, there have been numerous investigations into live transports accompanied by extensive video material revealing inc...

This now renowned institution, which is active beyond American borders, began as a small organisation and only became what it is today thanks to the commitment of a handful of goal-oriented and persistent lawyers. In conclusion, Joyce emphasised the importance of promoting young talent in animal protection law.Kim Stallwood is a British author, activist and long-time friend of TIR.
