  ...erine Collins point out in Salmon Wars, around 70% of the salmon consumed worldwide comes from aquaculture. Millions of animals live in cramped conditions in huge marine facilities. Pathogens and parasites such as salmon lice spread quickly here and are often combated with synthetic, sometimes illegal, chemicals that cause even more damage to the marine ecosystem.

• 2022 01 27 TIR supports the people’s initiative “Basic Rights for Primates” in the canton of Basel-Stadt

  ... Court did not rule out an indirect third-party effect analogous to article 35(3) FC, for example in that authorities would have to exercise their discretion in accordance with primates’ basic rights. How this would be achieved in practice cannot be conclusively determined at the present stage.The practical consequences of the initiative would therefore be limited. However, it cannot be ruled out that, for example, the University of Basel, as a public-law entity of the Canton of Basel-Stadt, decides to conduct primate experiments with a severity level 1-3 in the future.

  ... they could help us out of the climate crisis. Ruth Kassinger describes how vital algae are, as well as how, if used and cultivated wisely, they could help us humans out of the climate crisis. Even a single sip of salt water contains several thousand different algae, which are the most vital source of food for microscopic animals and thus make up the foundation of the marine food chain. A die-off of all algae would therefore result in the starvation of all marine animals. Without algae, life on land would not have been able to evolve 500 million years ago. Algae are not only a source of food f...

  ... (NABU) also points out the sharp decline in the population of this majestic animal and how poaching, environmental destruction and the ongoing expansion of human civilization are significantly reducing the snow leopard's habitat, which in turn affects its population.Since the 1970s, it has been strictly forbidden to kill snow leopards and trade in their body parts in any of their native territories. However, in some countries, such as Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Russia, illegal hunting and trade are still a major problem. The animals are hunted with iron traps and poisoned baits.

  ... corresponding time out of the water is extremely high. Therefore, one must assume that the fish suffered a painful death after being put back, which amounts to the offense of killing in a cruel manner. In addition, the animal was subjected to unnecessary suffering (pressure on internal organs, excessive stress) while photographed.In the third possible case, the trout was caught and put back alive solely for the purpose of taking a picture. This would be an unlawful case of "catch & release", which would clearly qualify as mistreatment of animals.The competent public prosecutor's o...

With regard to the immense suffering caused to the animals through inadequate anesthesia or bleeding, the reliance on self-control by slaughterhouses as a basis for enforcement for the veterinary authorities is insufficient. The slaughterhouses need to be controlled independently – ...

  ...air within, into or out of the EU for rearing, fattening, slaughter or other purposes (see the European Court of Auditors' analysis). Transport to so-called high-risk animal welfare countries, where animal welfare standards are largely unknown, proves to be particularly critical. The legally permitted transport times are regularly exceeded in this context, and there are often long waiting times at external EU borders and customs ports due to clearance problems. Outside the EU, there is a lack of suitable inspection and supply stations for the animals. Transport planning is often inadequate and...
