Question 4615 — animals

Summary

Mr. Jean Laussucq questions the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity, Forests, Sea and Fisheries on the exploitation of captive wild animals for advertising. Animals are very present in the representations. Unsurprisingly, they are therefore frequently found in advertisements. While there is no shortage of possibilities to do otherwise (visual effects, animatronics, etc.), many of these animals on screen are captive wild animals. Concretely, this means that these animals are imprisoned for life. However, we know that non-domestic animals have very important needs, in terms of space, physical expenses, social relationships, which are extremely difficult if not impossible to meet in captivity. Beyond the deprivation of liberty, the animals undergo training and transport. This last point is moreover a central element in the decision to ban wild animals in traveling circuses by 2028 (law no. 2021-1539 of November 30, 2021 aimed at combating animal abuse and strengthening the bond between animals and humans). As a logical continuation of the law previously cited, he asks her if she could consider prohibiting the exploitation of captive wild animals for advertising.
