This has to do with the fact that we in Switzerland once voted (in the early 90s) to constitutionally recognize animals, and giving them dignity. The dignity of the creature it was called. This is the reason also why you are not allowed to own just one single guinea pig or a lovebird.

So, if you own two and one dies, what happens?

Lol that is awesome. Thanks for the link.

I feel for the poor introverted guinea pigs of Switzerland though. No chance for a peaceful quiet life free from the squeaking of another pig.

Human introverts still go crazy in solitary cell. It is kinda the same.
