Interdiction de la vénerie sous terre

Stage committeeUpdated 7d ago

This is a French private member's bill (proposition de loi ordinaire) in the National Assembly, the lower house of Parliament, during the 15th legislature. Its title refers to 'vénerie sous terre', a traditional form of hunting in which dogs are used to pursue animals such as badgers or foxes into their underground dens. The bill proposes prohibiting this practice. Based on metadata only, the full text and its detailed provisions are not reflected here. The bill would mainly affect hunters who practise underground hunting with dogs, as well as hunting associations and the animals targeted. Supporters of animal welfare would see it as a protection measure, while the hunting community would likely view it as a restriction on a traditional activity. Those seeking the exact scope should consult the official text.
