Question 6485 — animals

Summary

The breeding of animals intended for fur production is an activity that concerns a growing number of our fellow citizens. This activity raises ethical, heritage, cultural, economic, scientific and legal questions, like many questions relating to animal welfare, which call into question our ability to think about the link between man and his ecosystem. The Minister of State, Minister of Transition ecological and supportive, launched a working group on the well-being of captive wildlife on April 24. One of the sub-working groups deals specifically with the breeding of mink for fur production. The activity of breeding fur animals is subject to the rules relating to installations classified for environmental protection, compliance with which conditions the opening and maintenance of breeding structures. The conditions for killing animals are, for their part, more particularly governed by European Regulation No. 1099/2009 of September 29, 2009, relating to the protection of animals at the time of their killing. Concerning breeding conditions compatible with the biological requirements of the species and mistreatment of domestic or wild animals held in captivity, these are governed by articles L. 214-1 to L. 214-3 and R. 214-17 to R. 214-18 of the rural and maritime fishing code.
