- Animal lawyer plan rejected by Swiss voters
Defeat a blow for animal advocates who claim special lawyers are needed to enforce Switzerland's laws on keeping animalsSwiss voters soundly rejected a plan to appoint special lawyers for animals that are abused by humans, dealing a blow to advocates who say Switzerland's animal rights laws are not being enforced. Results showed that 70.5% of voters cast their ballot against the proposal to extend nationwide a system that has been in place in Zurich since 1992.Switzerland has among the strictest rules when it comes to caring for pets and farm animals. Pigs, budgies, goldfish and other social animals cannot be kept alone. Horses and cows must have regular exercise and dog owners must be trained in looking after their pets.Goetschel said he represents about 150-200 animals annually in Zurich, while in other cantons (states), only a handful of cases go to court each year.Most of his clients are dogs, cows and cats, Goetschel told The Associated Press in a recent interview. But in one high-profile case last month, Goetschel represented a dead pike after an animal protection group accused the angler who caught it of cruelty for taking 10 minutes to haul the fish in. The angler was found not guilty.Opponents of the latest proposal, including farmers' groups and the government, had argued that existing laws are sufficient and appointing lawyers for animals would incur unnecessary costs for taxpayers.Animal welfareSwitzerlandAnimalsguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- This is not the end for tax havens | William Brittain-Catlin
Reforms in the world's tax havens may be under way, but hunger for profit and wealth will ensure the survival of offshore financeSurvey the world's tax havens and you will find that change is afoot.In the Cayman Islands, long the beacon of offshore finance, the many thousands of hedge funds domiciled there are fleeing to respectable onshore havens, where they hope newly emboldened regulators will look at them more approvingly.The island of Jersey, another tax haven grandee, is now thinking the unthinkable: raising taxes, to stave off a fiscal deficit. Its economy was for years dependent on financial services, but the financial crisis struck and more familiar, onshore ways to sustain an economy will have to be imposed.Elsewhere, the US department of justice, on a mission to unearth US tax evaders in Switzerland, batters the cantons of Zug, Zurich and Ticino into submission, overturning in a matter of months long held traditions of banking secrecy.Is it time to sound the death knoll for tax havens? Will the combination of economic crisis and direct action by onshore governments spell the end of these treasure isles, making life that much tougher for their willing clients in banking and finance?No, it is not the end, merely a prelude to the next time offshore capitalism returns.For what we are witnessing now in the tax haven world is a great reconfiguration of these hidden conduits of finance and ownership that appropriate and preserve wealth; passageways of financial power that will, as sure as night follows day, spur global capitalism on to another so-called golden age some 10, 15 years hence.This is not prophecy, simply a lesson from history.Modern tax havens were themselves born out of the financial crises of the late 19th century, and took off as depression-struck nat 世界のタックスの改革が進行中かもしれないが、利益と富への渇望は、オフショア世界のタックスヘイヴンをfinanceSurveyの生存を確実にすると、その変更が長いケイマン諸島、オフショア金融のビーコン、afoot.Inことに気付くことでしょうヘッジファンドの多くは何千人も今は考えられないと考えている、そこには彼らはニュージャージー州、別のタックスヘイブングランディーの詳細approvingly.The島を見ていきます新たに勇気づけレギュレータを願って立派な陸上避難所に避難している住所：食い止めるために、調。税金を財政赤字
