Question 7922 — animals

Summary

Mr. Yves Jégo questions the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, on the use of wild animals in traveling circuses. These animals are held captive all their lives solely for entertainment, and sometimes suffer violent treatment during their training. Veterinary associations regularly condemn the use of these animals, like the European Federation of Veterinarians, supported by the National Order of Veterinarians, which “recommends to all competent European and national authorities to prohibit the use of wild mammals in traveling circuses throughout Europe, given the absolute impossibility of adequately meeting their physiological, mental and social needs”. Faced with general awareness in society regarding the need for animal welfare, the use of wild animals in circuses seems to come from a society from another time. He then wishes to know what measures the Government intends to take to adapt legislation to society's expectations regarding the captivity of wild animals in circuses.
