The Western European country of Luxembourg recently passed (unanimously) a new bill to strengthen the protection of all animals in the country. Citizens will no longer be able to kill or instruct another to kill an animal unnecessarily, without facing up to 3 years imprisonment or a €200,000 fine. Further, if an animal is injured, suffering, or in danger, the people of Luxembourg will now be obliged to rescue the animal. And, among the amendments is one concerning pet ownership. If a person wishes to keep an animal as a pet, there are now specific obligations with regard to feeding, providing water, and adequate care if it gets sick.
Luxembourg was also the first European country to ban the killing of animals for economic purposes such as the killing of male chicks in the egg industry, or male calves in the dairy industry.
