Question 28507 — animals

Summary

Ms. Samantha Cazebonne draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition to the alarming situation, in this context of a state of health emergency, of animals exploited in circuses and dolphinariums. Due to the containment measures adopted to combat the covid-19 pandemic, circuses and dolphinariums have in fact been forced to close their doors to the public. Some establishments are faced with major economic difficulties, which goes so far as to make it impossible to properly feed and care for their animals. Furthermore, the causes of the current pandemic call for a halt to the wildlife trade, which, in addition to representing a danger to biodiversity, exposes humans to completely new viruses. Also, she would like to know if, on the one hand, an emergency plan is envisaged to place the animals in danger of death in suitable financially supported shelters, and, on the other hand, if the acceleration of the transition to shows without wild animals is planned as well as a drastic strengthening of the control of the illegal trade in wild animals.
