Question 11783 — animals

Summary

Mr. Didier Le Gac draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister for Ecological and Inclusive Transition to the conditions of detention and use of live animals of non-domestic species in traveling show establishments. In France, detention in captivity within traveling public presentation establishments is regulated in particular by the ministerial decree of March 18, 2011. This decree specifies the rules in this area (comfort, living space for animals, safety of staff and the public). Faced with growing concern about the place of animals in circuses, several countries in Europe have banned the exploitation of wild animals in circuses. In France, circus professionals are already changing their practices to better respect wild animals. A certain number of municipalities with more than 20,000 inhabitants have also bans circuses featuring wild animals. While the French seem increasingly sensitive to this issue, he would like to know the progress of the discussions undertaken by the Ministry with the stakeholders concerned to undertake possible developments aimed at both the well-being of animals and the social and economic situation of circus professionals.
