Mink farms, wild animals in circuses, animals displayed in the window … Senators and deputies have agreed on several measures against animal abuse.
By 2024, pet stores will be banned from selling kittens and puppies. They will also no longer be able to display animals in the window.
Circuses will no longer have the right to keep wild animals within seven years. “A wild animal that must exercise a number, obviously it is done under duress, so there is still some form of abuse“, estimates Jean-François Legueulle, general delegate of the 30 Million Friends Foundation. Also, within five years, there will be neither killer whales nor dolphins in the dolphinariums.
The bill also calls for the last French mink farm intended to produce fur to be closed. Finally, new pet owners will be issued a knowledge certificate that details the pet’s needs.
Despite these advances, Jean-François Legueulle regrets some shortcomings. “In this text, we do not speak at all about farm animals, whether it is intensive breeding, whether it is about the transport of animals, whether it is about slaughterhouses, we are not talking about it. don’t speak at all. “
