Question 3410 — animals

Summary

Mr. Yves Jégo questions the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, on the reasons which led to the slaughter of 163 Java macaques within the establishment called “la Pinède des Singes” in Labenne (40) in May 2017, at the request of the prefecture and the DDCSP of Landes, because some were carriers of the MaHV1 virus while 80% of them are carriers naturally and no transmission to humans was not observed. The Government indicated in response to a previous written question that it had spared two primates which were subsequently captured but no justification was provided concerning the euthanasia of the first 163 which nevertheless presented the same characteristics. Also, he would like to know what were the motivations for such slaughter and what the Government intends to put in place in the event of a similar situation in order to to preserve the lives of many animals.
