In Switzerland, it's illegal for some animals to be kept alone by law.
For example, guinea pigs or parrots must always have at least one companion.
Why?
🫂 These animals are highly social and can suffer from loneliness and stress if kept without a pair.
⚖️ Under the Swiss Animal Welfare Act, animals have an inherent dignity, and some social species are legally required to have a buddy.
Swiss animal welfare law requires them to live in pairs or groups, because friendship isn’t just for humans 💛.
