Prévention et lutte contre la souffrance et la maltraitance animale

This is an ordinary bill (proposition de loi) tabled in the French National Assembly during the 15th legislature, titled roughly 'Prevention and fight against animal suffering and cruelty'. Based on its title, it aims to strengthen measures that prevent mistreatment of animals and to improve how such abuse is detected, sanctioned and combated. The full text was not reviewed, so specific provisions are unknown. The bill would most directly affect animal owners, breeders, professional animal handlers, shelters, and the authorities responsible for enforcing animal welfare rules. The exact obligations and penalties depend on the final text, which should be checked on the Assemblée nationale website.
