During a debate on the proliferation of rodents in the capital in front of the paris councilan elected member of the animalist party preferred qualified the brown rat. The reactions were quite mixed. Beyond this episode, the animalist movement traces its small furrow. He made just over 1% in the last presidential elections and is now making new demands.
Thursday, July 7, at the Council of Paris, a debate concerns the proliferation of rats in the capital. Douchka Markovicelected from the left of the majority of the left and figure of the animalist party, then takes the floor and says she prefers to call the rats, “surrats”. The video has been relayed and mocked thousands of times. Sometimes at their expense, animalities never cease to be talked about. In the last legislative elections, a duckling represented their candidate. They had no elected but 255,056 votes should bring them 420,000 euros in public funding according to their calculations.
Their priority: the end of industrial and intensive farming. The animal cause will have an echo in the National Assembly. Aymeric Carona former journalist and deputy for La France insoumise, founded an anti-speciesist party. His wish is not to make any hierarchy between animal species. “We think that there must be a real change in society that must take place in our relationships with animals and that would lead us one day to no longer eat them.“, says the deputy. The animal cause has therefore fallen into the debate public because most presidential candidates have made proposals on the subject.
