Question 13435 — animals

Summary

Mr. Patrick Vignal questions the Minister of Agriculture and Food about the real number of animals abandoned each year in France. The figures on this subject are variable, imprecise, but above all unverifiable. No official structure communicates data. The presence of pets in French homes has increased sharply in recent years. However, the problem of abandonment remains. Dogs or Abandoned cats are in the majority of cases collected in shelters managed by animal protection associations, after possible passage to the pound. These establishments are required to ensure the registration and traceability of animals received and are therefore in possession of data relating to abandonments. However, this is still not enough. It is only based on real figures that it is possible to establish a balance sheet measures applied and to consider new ones. This is why he would like to know if it is possible to create an official and regular questionnaire intended for foundations, associations and pounds so that they report the following information: the number of animals taken in following abandonment; the number of animals that have been adopted due to failure to find their owner; the number of animals that had to be euthanized and the number of animals that could be recovered by their owner.

Machine translation from French. The official text remains authoritative.
