ZURICH - Swiss citizens will no longer be able to pop their cats in the post after the authorities introduced new measures tightening up on animal mail.
Banned is the postal transportation of any animals weighing more than 15 kgs "except beehives, which can weigh 20 kgs". Under the measures, cat shipments are banned altogether, while other pets such as parrots and rabbits, can only be sent in aerated containers by express delivery. On average, 85 creatures are sent by post daily in Switzerland.
