Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Saturday 21.09.2002, CET 00:19 Animals win legal recognition Swiss pets will soon no longer be defined as “goods” or “objects” after parliament voted to grant them improved legal status. Instead, they will now be recognised as living things, having their own dignity and capable of feeling pain. On Wednesday the House of Representatives passed a government-backed initiative which means that under the law animals will no longer be considered as mere objects or things. http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/Swissinfo.html?siteSect=111 & sid=1344462 -- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
