Petition for Innovative Research Without Animal Suffering
Tens of thousands of laboratory animals suffer and die every year completely in vain in useless animal experiments. A rethinking is therefore needed: away from animal wastage and towards modern, efficient methods that truly benefit humanity.
Petition for Research Free from Animal Testing
On 24 April, the International Day of the Laboratory Animal, animal welfare advocates are launching the petition «Securing Switzerland as a Research Hub!». Every year, well over one million animals are still provided for research purposes, two thirds of which are disposed of as surplus.
Alternative Methods: Faster and More Informative
Over 90% of all drugs found to be safe in animal testing prove unsuitable for humans. The future of research lies in animal-free methods. More on the topic of animal rights and studies.

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.
