Création d'un Défenseur des droits des animaux

This is an ordinary bill (proposition de loi) tabled in the French National Assembly, during the 15th legislature, that would create a dedicated ombudsman for animal rights. The title suggests an independent official tasked with defending the interests and welfare of animals and handling complaints related to their treatment. The metadata alone does not show the exact powers, appointment process, or budget proposed. If adopted, the bill would primarily affect animal owners, breeders, farms, shelters, and institutions responsible for animal welfare, as well as public authorities that would interact with the new office. Citizens and animal protection organisations could also be affected through new avenues for complaints. Details of the obligations involved would need to be checked in the full bill text.
