Question 13053 — animals

Summary

Mr. Philippe Fait draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture, Agri-Food and Food Sovereignty to the application of the ban on the sale of dogs and cats by pet stores, provided for by Law No. 2021-1539 of November 30, 2021 and in force since January 1, 2024. The 30 Million Friends Foundation revealed at the beginning of 2025 that pet stores continued, despite the law, to sell dogs and cats, some having developed a worrying online business in terms of responsible acquisition and animal protection, based on the “click and collect” model. The same foundation has just published new images which demonstrate that a year later, the practices of these establishments remain unchanged and, therefore, that the sale of dogs and cats in pet stores persists. The absence of a decree providing for sanctions in the event of violation of this ban weakens the action of the authorities who are helpless in the face of this manifestly illegal situation. More than five years after the adoption of the law and two years after the entry into force of the ban on the sale of dogs and cats by pet stores, it seems urgent to guarantee its proper application, in particular by adopting appropriate sanctions. He therefore wishes to know when it intends to publish the regulatory text associating a sanction for non-compliance with the ban on the sale of dogs and cats by pet stores.
