  ... achievement. TIR was disappointed, however, to hear about the outcome of Graubünden's vote regarding the ban on so-called special hunts ("Sonderjagd"). Graubünden's citizens rejected the proposed ban with 54.23% of the votes thereby deciding to hang on to their dual hunting system.

  ...ministration, as it was free to select the content of its work and financially independent of the Canton of Bern in exercising its party rights. According to the Supreme Court there was therefore insufficient state supervision of the umbrella association so that it could not be termed a public authority and consequently should not have been endowed with party rights. The Canton of Bern is still free to provide an authority with respective party rights, however, the DBT, being an organization established under private law, has now irreversibly lost its party rights.

  ...as pack animals, it was no longer important to empathise with them. Since then, we have regarded our intelligence or behaviour as the more valuable and even denied many animals consciousness altogether. Humans are extraordinary, there is no doubt about that, especially when you consider the technological achievements of recent decades. However, much of this has also had disastrous consequences, which has led to our ecological imbalance. There is always new evidence that animals have feelings and intentions. It must not be forgotten that animals are indispensable for the continued ex...

Since 2003, article 641a of the Civil Code (CC) states that animals are not objects (however, apart from a few exceptions, property law still largely applies to animals) Nevertheless, the Animal Welfare Act is primarily oriented towards human user interests and permits the industrial production of animal products, as is the case everywhere in the world.

According to the FOAG, this was mainly due to a pandemic-related adjustment in consumption patterns: People mostly ate at home and consumed more eggs for cooking and baking. At the same time, the long-standing trend towards increasing sales of organic eggs was somewhat slowed down by the greater demand for eggs in combination with higher egg imports.

  ...The "primitive bee" was a solitary wasp that became a vegetarian by replacing carnal proteins with plant proteins or pollen, thus initiating the evolutionary relationship between bees and plants that continues to this day. Wasps, of which there are at least 100,000 known species, are also the ancestors of ants. In addition, the filigree wasp nest structure is said to have served as a model for paper production from cellulose, as the French physicist and zoologist René-Antoine Ferchault Réaumur noted in his animal and plant physiological works in 1719.The example of fig wasps shows that wasps a...
