Question 1958 — animals

Summary

Mr. Joël Giraud alerts the Minister of Agriculture and Food about the breeding of animals raised and killed exclusively for their fur. In France, the animal cause has become important. According to the organization France Générosity, the animal cause is among the ten causes most supported by the French. In Europe, according to a figure published by the fur industry, 61% of Europeans believe that it is not acceptable to raise animals for their fur. Studies and images filmed by NGOs demonstrate that breeding minks for their fur is a source of suffering for these animals. Animal breeding conditions have extremely worrying repercussions on their health. The confinement of these animals can lead to cannibalism, obesity, self-mutilation, stereotypic behavior or even total prostration, a sign of distress. However, it seems that farms are receiving a favorable agreement to triple their breeding capacity. Thus, animal protection NGOs believe that today in France, the animal condition is regressing. In Europe, several countries have already banned this type of breeding for ethical and ecological reasons, notably the Netherlands, a country with 200 farms while in France there are only 13. Also, he thanks him to kindly let him know his intentions so that France makes progress on the question of the animal condition by banning the breeding of these animals. This ethical breakthrough would be a strong symbol in favor of animal welfare and would give France pioneer status in this area. It would thus join the 6 EU countries that have already banned this type of breeding. He would therefore like to know its position on this issue.
