QUOTE Under a new Swiss law enshrining rights for animals, dog owners will require a qualification, anglers will take lessons in compassion and horses will go only in twos.......
......Anglers will also be required to complete a course on catching fish humanely, with the Government citing studies indicating that fish can suffer too......... ..... And a word of warning for those planning a mercy killing for their goldfish: special chemicals will be required “to put them to death”. Flushing them down the loo is no longer an option. -------------------- |

More information on this:
http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/pfk/...m.php?news=1671 Angling Switzerland’s 100,000 anglers will also be affected by the new legislation. Anglers will be required to demonstrate their expertise by taking a course on humane methods of catching fish, which the government says should be done as gently as possible. The legislation states that fish caught should be killed immediately following capture with a sharp blow to the head from a blunt instrument. Otherwise, if the fish are to be detained alive for a short period, then regular water changes should be carried out, and any excessive stress avoided. The use of barbs and live bait will also be prohibited, except under certain circumstances. |

QUOTE Fish are to be protected under the new legislation for the first time, following the Swiss government’s acceptance of studies showing that, like other animals, fish do suffer. Which studies were those then? |
