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.

The new regulation stipulates that aquariums for pet fish should not be
transparent on all sides and that owners must make sure that the natural
cycle of day and night is maintained in terms of light. Goldfish are
considered social animals, or Gruppentiere in German.

Anglers will also be required to complete a course on catching fish humanely,
with the Government citing studies indicating that fish can suffer too.

guinea-pigs while ignoring more important animal issues, such as its failure
to enforce a ban on dangerous dogs.
