Question 15951 — animals

Summary

Mr. Cédric Villani questions the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, on the consideration of animal welfare in France. According to a 2018 IFOP survey, 7 out of 10 French people consider that animals are poorly defended by politicians. The National Assembly recently adopted the bill on the balance of commercial relations in the agri-food sector (known as “EGALIM”) which included an article dedicated to the issue of animal welfare and which has caused a lot of disappointment on the part of citizens and animal protection associations. France has more livestock than inhabitants (nearly 50 million laying hens and 20 million cows). These animals integrated into industrialized production chains raise questions about food consumption patterns and the way we consider other species. He would like to know whether he intends, as was the case with his predecessor, to present a bill dedicated to this issue.
