Swiss voting on cow horns
They need more time for herd management, the barns have to be bigger, or less animals in the barn and all this costs Swiss money. You have to know, that farmers get financial support in some regions, when the cows wear bells, or when there are nice flowers in front of the farmhouse windows. So why not getting money for support of the cows dignity, which is already protected by the Swiss constitution?
It will still be the choice of each farmer, to keep the horns or to burn them out, so no ban will be activated. But just about 10% of all cows still have their horns, not much, but on every milk bottle and chocolate barn you see them with.

What do you think about this initiative? Should farmers that leave the horns be suported financially?
