We express our concern about the new Italian law allowing the killing of eight bears per year.
We ask Maurizio Fugatti to respect European legislation, safeguarding strictly protected species such as bears.

Thanks to our President Tilly Metz MEP + the speakers Andrea Gavinelli, Lucie Carrouée, Georgia Diamantopoulou, & Alicja Mużnik for a great session on this important proposal for the protection of cats& dogs👏

A worrying issue raised in Intergroup on Welfare and Conservation of Animals is the health threats brought by illegal trade in cats & dogs.
▶️In many cases these animals are not vaccinated against dangerous zoonotic diseases like #rabies .
💻Traceability is a key focus of the proposal on welfare of dogs & cats🐶🐱
Great intervention from Georgia Diamantopoulou (@FOURPAWSeurope) on the new proposal for the protection of cats & dogs. 👏
✅ Great news for #animalwelfare + reflects the calls to address illegal pet trade
❌ Smaller breeders are excluded
❌ Traceability does not extend to all pets
The proposal promotes also responsible ownership.
'When you buy an animal you are not getting a toy. These animals need to be cared for properly.' - Andrea Gavinelli on the new proposal for the protection of cats & dogs. 👏
