Animal Rights Law Passed in Switzerland

Catch and Release  Fishing Banned
6/9/08 

Switzerland has recently passed a law with the intention of clarifying 
acceptable treatment of â??social animals.â??

The law that goes into  effect September first establishes  desirable
treatment of animals such as dogs, fish, horses, and even  rhinoceroses. An 
array of
animals has been included under the  bracket of â??social animalsâ?? and a part
of this new law states that any of these animals will be  considered abused 
if
they are not able to cohabit with another of their  species.

Under the law dog owners must take a two part course on  recognizing the
needs of the dog, and properly walking a dog. Swiss  fisherman will now be
required to participate in a course that teaches them how to catch fish  
humanely.
Catch and Release fishing has been banned; instead fishers must now kill the
fish  immediately after being caught with â??a sharp blow to the head with a 
blunt 
instrument.â??

This law affects farmers as well, who are  barred from restraining horses,
sheep, and goats. Pigs and cows must not be  forced to reside in areas with ha
rd
flooring.

Although animal  rights groups are jumping for joy over this new law, many
Swiss farmers are  complaining of the numerous extra costs it will require 
them
to run their farms.
