Question 16588 — animals

Summary

Ms. Bénédicte Auzanot draws the attention of the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the fight against the torture of animals and the online distribution of videos, in particular the phenomenon of animal crushing. Law No. 2021-1539 of November 30, 2021 introduced article 521-1-2 of the penal code in order to punish the recording and dissemination on the internet of images of serious abuse, acts of cruelty or sexual assault on animals domesticated, tamed or held in captivity. Nearly five years after the entry into force of this text, the particularly odious phenomenon of animal crushing (crushing of animals filmed for the purposes of broadcasting and often monetization) continues to be reported on the internet. The MP asks the Minister to indicate the number of proceedings initiated and convictions handed down on the basis of article 521-1-2 since 2021, and more particularly those linked to acts of animal crushing. She would also like to know what instructions have been given to public prosecutors and investigation services to improve the detection and repression of this content, particularly on social networks and foreign platforms, and what actions are being taken in terms of international cooperation in order to fight against organized production and distribution networks. distribution of animal crushing, often based abroad. Finally, she asks him if he plans to strengthen the legislative system (creation of a more severe specific offense, increased resources for the PHAROS platform, training of investigators and magistrates, etc.) in the face of the persistence of this type of content.
