Animal suffering in Lucerne: Inspection uncovers serious grievances
What authorities discover in a Lucerne threshing barn is staggering. TierCrime with VanDam asks why severe animal suffering is so often classified merely as inadequate husbandry.
In Lucerne, authorities conducting an unannounced inspection encounter an animal keeping situation that leaves one speechless. Too many animals, too little space, and conditions that are barely imaginable.
What they discover in the threshing barn, the residential building, and an old pigsty illustrates vividly: animal suffering often begins quietly, hidden from view and without public attention.
Dami asks critical questions: How can such conditions go unnoticed for years? Why does the justice system so frequently classify severe suffering merely as inadequate husbandry?
Vani explains how the law assesses such cases, what legal hurdles exist, and where the limits of the system become visible.

The position of IG Wild beim Wild: IG Wild beim Wild rejects recreational hunting. Our model is the canton of Geneva, which has managed without recreational hunting since 1974: without hunting seasons, without hunting dogs, without driven hunts, without high seats, without the animal cruelty and crime that go hand in hand with hunting season elsewhere. What has worked there for over fifty years disproves every position paper by JagdSchweiz. An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
