About us
The Foundation for the Animal in the Law (TIR; Stiftung für das Tier im Recht; Fondation pour l´animal en droit) is a politically and religiously neutral non-profit organisation, which began in 1995 and was registered in the Bern-Mittelland Trade Register in 1996.
The main objective of all the TIR's projects and activities is the continual improvement of the human-animal relationship in law, ethics and society. We campaign for all animals, whether they are pets, farm animals or wild.
We pursue realistic goals and work together with the authorities and other organisations. We can achieve more in the field of animal welfare by joining forces in a meaningful way.
With its legal and political groundwork and its wide range of services, the TIR has established itself as a competence centre for the animal in law, ethics and society.
