Animal Welfare
Animal welfare refers to all human activities aimed at enabling animals to live species-appropriate lives free from the infliction of suffering, pain, harm, and unnecessary impairment. Animal welfare is largely limited to the protection of vertebrates.
Protecting the Fundamental Rights of Animals
Animal Welfare is an extremely important aspect of our society. It concerns the preservation of the fundamental rights of animals and the protection of their dignity and well-being. One of the most important measures is the prevention of animal cruelty.
Every Contribution Counts
There are many ways in which we can all do our part for animal welfare: through donations to animal welfare organisations, engagement in a local group, or a conscious approach to animals in everyday life. More on the topic of Animal Rights, Animal Welfare Issues and Campaigns.

More on the subject of recreational hunting: What the research says about this is shown by Hunting fact-checked: the state of research.
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.
