Fun Fact of the day: Swiss law prohibits owning just one social animal
If your passions lie in animal rights, you鈥檙e going to love this piece of Swiss legislation.
Since 2008, the country鈥檚 Animal Protection Ordnance has prohibited owning solitary guinea pigs, reason being they鈥檙e highly social animals that rely on companionship.
The 182-page ordnance doesn鈥檛 stop at guinea pigs. Other social animals that 鈥渕ust be kept in groups of at least two animals鈥� are mice, gerbils, parrots and goldfish, to name a few.
There are a staggering number of other legal protections, and some make life for animals seem borderline luxurious. Take Article 46, which stipulates that during hot conditions, pigs kept in groups and weighing 25 kilograms or more must be provided with air conditioning!

B.C. Mounties recently made a rather green discovery while conducting aerial operations over Lytton, ending in a sizeable seizure of illegal cannabis.
According to police, officers were in the RCMP Air Services helicopter, dubbed Air 4, on Aug. 28 when they made the discovery from above.
鈥淒ue to the size of the grow operation and its physical location, the team decided to return on Saturday to dismantle the site, bearing in mind that often times such locations are typically staged with booby traps meant to injure or kill unsuspecting visitors or first responders,鈥� RCMP said in a statement Thursday, Sept. 3.
