The current TIR campaign against animal cruelty was honored with the Swiss Poster Award at yesterday's APG/SGA Poster Night 2014. The theme "Animal Judges", which was designed by the advertising agency Ruf Lanz, was voted poster of the year 2013 by a jury of professionals, which chose from over 400 submitted posters. The Stiftung für das Tier im Recht (TIR) is proud of this award and congratulates the entire team at Ruf Lanz on the joint success.

Vanessa Gerritsen discusses the Swiss animal welfare law from a constitutional point of view and questions the enforcement of the principles of 'sentient beings' and 'dignity'.
