It's unbelievable how resistant Migros is to criticism, even in cases like this they don't listen to the customers, but always spout the same clichés about customer needs and other excuses! https://www.nau.ch/news/schweiz/migros-verkauft-schmetterlingsnetze-kunden-sind-machtig-sauer-66176997 Why can't you get it through your heads that cruelty to animals is not a gimmick? Which moron in your company thought it was a good idea to include this in toys?
A toy under the "Nature" line: butterfly catching net made in China. Nope, Migros, bottom. Catching and looking at a beetle crawling around - no problem because there is hardly any risk of injury. With butterflies? The wings and the delicate surface alone are bound to cause injury! Children should be taught to look at butterflies when they are sitting somewhere, and that's fine because they are so fragile, certainly not to run after them and zap them down with the net. They've become sooo rare anyway😑 It's the little things that can make a difference on a large scale. Migros, one less M en gros.
Yes, Made in China is added to the list, but it's nothing new at Migros that most of the range comes from China. But this junk is sold at prices as if it had been made in Switzerland. I've often found Swiss products at the competition that were cheaper than the Chinese junk from Migros!

In Germany, catching butterflies is prohibited (if I've seen it correctly): https://blogs.helmholtz.de/falter-blog/2017/02/vom-sinn-oder-unsinn-einer-naturschutzrechtlichen-ausnahme-nach-%C2%A7-45-abs-7-ziff-3-bundesnaturschutzgesetz-bnatschg-und-%C2%A7-4-abs-3-bundesartenschutzverordnung-bartschv-zum-n/ Should also be banned here in Switzerland. Butterflies are such delicate creatures and many are endangered. I think animals in the wild should generally be left alone and not caught and certainly not played with. You should just let them live and observe them. Somehow I'm not at all surprised that Migros came up with such a rubbish idea with the butterfly nets. The bosses there are just chasing money, or Migros' turnover has to be higher than Coop's so that Migros is back at the top of the podium, come hell or high water...

If a species is protected, killing, injuring, catching, carrying, selling and exporting it is prohibited. However, it also varies from canton to canton, for example the swallowtail is only protected in some cantons, but children certainly can't differentiate between them and, as already mentioned, children should never be taught to catch animals to play with on their own, as this is anything but in keeping with the times.
It has long been clear that Migros is resistant to criticism. But this campaign is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Migros supports and encourages cruelty to animals! Whoever is responsible for this must resign immediately!

You only read negative things about Migros and its companies in the media anyway. At Digitec/Galaxus, employees are apparently keeling over by the dozen because the working conditions are so inhumane. https://www.20min.ch/story/angestellte-von-digitec-galaxus-kippen-vor-erschoepfung-um-138381092754

I read that yesterday too, the main article is probably this one. https://www.blick.ch/wirtschaft/angestellte-von-digitec-galaxus-am-anschlag-pakete-packen-bis-die-sanitaet-kommt-id17489297.html It's more than just pathetic if you treat your employees like that and if the article is true, that's only a small part of it, because I can't imagine that it should be better elsewhere. So now comes the thing that shouldn't suit you: because every single one of you contributes to this. Yes, you are partly to blame, because who is too lazy to go shopping in the stores? The majority of people reading here should take a good look at themselves and start thinking. Because you are encouraging and promoting the system that allows this to happen. Think about such things, why not shop where you live, there are enough stores in the area that offer everything you need, yes, that's how you get in touch with people, you can talk to each other and you make sure that the "Läda" in the village are preserved, 🤔 or do you only want dead, 👻 inner cities in the future.

That's true. But I think it should generally be forbidden in Switzerland to catch any butterflies and/or other animals, regardless of whether they are protected species or not. I completely agree with you on this point; as parents, children really shouldn't be taught to catch animals to play with. Children see the net offered by Migros as a "toy" because it's in the Migros toy department (?!?). The responsibility lies with the parents. I think it's totally wrong and pathetic that Migros hasn't reacted to this shitstorm on the net long ago and taken this animal-torturing net out of its range.

I'm just wondering whether a complaint could be made to the cantonal veterinarian against Migros for aiding and abetting cruelty to animals because of this network. Or are such companies not covered by the Animal Welfare Act, but only the people who torture animals?

I don't know, you'd have to ask a nature conservation organization, but the problem may soon solve itself, as we are currently realizing that globalization wasn't as great as the corporations imagined. Just one port in Shanghai has to be closed and the whole world trade comes to a standstill. Migros, with its high proportion of Chinese products in its range, will soon have supply problems. That's what happens when you turn a country like China into the world's factory. The dragon has been fed and fed, allowing the communist terror regime to turn China from a developing country into a threat to the whole world in a very short space of time. It is obvious that China will become the next Russia.
