shower time for Swiss swine
Thanks to a new 175 page animal rights law in Switzerland pigs now have a legal right to shower and freshen up after getting muddy. What about privacy? Will they have individual stalls along with their choice of scented beauty bars? Next time this law comes up for review maybe someone could suggest aromatherapy and bubbles in the bathwater.
I'm not making this up; Fishermen can no longer use live bait or practice catch and release in Switzerland either. I suppose the worms would feel too much pain when the bluegill bites into it.
Parrots and hamsters may no longer be kept by themselves and live goldfish can not be flushed. I can see a future hamster overpopulation, and when junior's fish floats belly up they better make sure it's really dead before getting rid of it or risk a fine.
