Question 16818 — animals

Summary

Mr. Pierre-Yves Cadalen draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture, Agri-Food and Food Sovereignty to the responsible process of animal acquisition. Following a previous written question on the legal protection of domestic animals in France, the Minister responded that actions to make pet purchases more responsible were or were going to be put in place, in particular an acquisition process responsible. This course, accompanied by obligations for professionals and individuals, has obviously been launched since 2024. The MP would like to know what it consists of, since no information can be found online. The Minister also mentions a draft decree governing the rules applicable to the development and use of premises, installations and equipment in fairs, markets, flea markets, exhibitions, exhibitions or any other events specifically dedicated to pets. The MP would like to know the status of this draft decree, which he did not find online. Despite the commitments made in the response, it is clear that events such as puppy fairs are still held regularly throughout the region. However, numerous infractions are regularly noted. Despite the law of 30 November 2021 requiring a certificate of commitment and knowledge signed at least seven days before any transfer (article L. 214-8 V of the rural code), in puppy salons, this requirement is often absent or backdated. A truly responsible ownership journey cannot begin in a place where animals are already abused, manipulated, subjected to stress, heat and locked up all day. He wants to know if a stricter regulation is planned, including a prior authorization regime, the ban on aggressive commercial practices, effective compliance with the seven-day deadline before transfer, compulsory veterinary checks, or even an outright ban on selling animals under these conditions.
