Question 13718 — breeding

Summary

Mr. Pierre Morel-À-L'Huissier alerts the Minister of Agriculture and Food on the protection of pastoral activity in France. Relating to ancestral practices, carrying the identity of a territory, pastoralism is also actively inserted into the economic life of these territories by making it possible to create and maintain jobs, or by constituting important tourist assets. At the same time, it helps preserve natural environments. which would otherwise be neglected, and for example reduces the risk of fire or avalanches. Lozère is thus directly affected by these activities, and a large part of its territory was classified as a world heritage site by UNESCO in 2011. However, recurring threats weaken pastoralism, first and foremost the particularly harmful role of large predators. Wolves cause heavy damage within herds. No policy, one-off measure or global plan really seems to be able - or willing - to protect breeders; worse, two female bears were even reintroduced into the Pyrénées-Atlantiques in October 2018. This policy of protection and reintroduction of large predators is dangerous, both for the breeding activity and for the breeders themselves. She thus seems particularly removed from the realities of local life, and in any case in direct opposition to the mission of the Government as set out in article L. 113-1 of the rural and maritime fishing code, requiring it to protect “herds from attacks by wolves and bears in territories exposed to this risk”. He therefore wishes to ask him when and how the Government intends to fulfill its mission in order to protect breeders, their animals, a entire part of local economic life and internationally recognized know-how.
