Question 18057 — hunting and fishing

Summary

Ms. Corinne Vignon draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to live fishing. This traditional fishing technique consists of using a live vertebrate (fish, small mammal, amphibian) as bait in order to attract predatory fish more effectively. Pierced with a hook in the body or mouth, the bait animal can be held for several hours awaiting death. Gold Scientific studies prove that many animals, including fish, have the ability to feel pain. Considered archaic and cruel by certain animal protection associations, live fishing is already banned in several European countries (Germany, Scotland, Ireland). She would like to know the measures envisaged by the Government to put an end to this violent and unjustified practice.
