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.
