Question 5280 — animals

Summary

Mr. Philippe Michel-Kleisbauer draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to the competence of the National Commission for Fairground and Circassian Professions, created by Decree No. 2017-1501 of October 27, 2017, with regard to the question of the captivity of wild animals in circuses. There is in fact no mention of this question in the aforementioned decree. But there is a scientific consensus on the suffering of animals wild in circuses. The Federation of European Veterinarians has declared itself opposed to their captivity in traveling circuses. In addition, many countries and cities prohibit the presence of wild animals in circuses (Ireland, Belgium, Austria, Latvia, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Mexico, Peru, New York, Los Angeles, Montpellier, etc.). Public opinion is also very sensitive to captivity and training of wild animals in circuses. For all these reasons, he asks him to indicate whether the commission will take up this issue and what place it intends to give it.
