Document type: Report of the French Senate No. 844 (2020-2021) submitted on 22 September 2021
Author: Ms Anne CHAIN-LARCHÉ, on behalf of the Senate Committee on Economic Affairs
Preview: On Wednesday 22 September, the Senate's Economic Affairs Committee examined, on the basis of the report by Ms Chain-Larché (LR - Seine-et-Marne), the bill to strengthen the fight against animal abuse proposed by Mr Loïc Dombreval, Mr Dimitri Houbron and Ms Laëtitia Romeiro Dias (LREM). […]
The Senate's Economic Affairs Committee has endeavoured to restore balance to an imperfect text. Working constructively, it has made numerous proposals to strengthen the relationship between animals and humans, to support changes of practice in the sale and homing of animals, and to combat abandonment, zoophilia and acts of cruelty. Where measures in the draft document appeared disproportionate or counterproductive, it also revised these in order to make them more effective.
