Question 19135 — animals

Summary

Mrs Samantha Cazebonne draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the live castration of pigs. In July 2018, his predecessor declared having received from the pig industry a certain number of commitments leading to the presentation, at the end of 2018, of a plan to end the live castration of piglets. Indeed, solutions already exist, to the extent that alternatives are already implemented in other major producing countries, such as Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain. This process is extremely painful for animals whose ethological research shows that they are endowed with self-awareness and endowed with sensitivity, as recognized by French law through article 515-14 of the civil code. She therefore wishes to know whether the pork industry has presented an exit plan to the Government and, if not not the case, how the Government intends to act to accelerate the end of the live castration of piglets.
