Question 13241 — animals

Summary

Mr. Pierrick Courbon alerts the Minister of Agriculture, Agri-Food and Food Sovereignty on 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. Associations defending the animal cause have shown that pet stores continue to sell dogs and cats. Some brands have clearly developed a worrying online business in terms of responsible acquisition and animal protection, to the extent that purchases are made without prior discussion with an advisor and without meeting the animal, on the principle of click and collect. This practice had also been denounced by the National Union of Dog and Cat Professions (SNPCC), which notably represents dog and feline breeders in France. In addition, many advertisements for the sale of dogs and cats published on the internet do not meet legal requirements in terms of transparency. Some even contain erroneous information likely to mislead the consumer and encourage rash purchases. He therefore wishes to know whether it intends to guarantee the application of the ban on the sale of dogs and cats by pet stores by putting an end to online sales and, if the law leaves any doubt to persist, whether it will remedy it by proposing the necessary legislative correction.
