| France will ban pet shops from selling dogs and cats from 2024 as part of efforts to prevent abandonment. |
| Under a new animal welfare law approved by the Senate on Thursday, licensed breeders and shelters will be among the few options for would-be owners. |
| Owners will also be required to sign a commitment certificate confirming their knowledge of the needs of the animals. Purchases can be cancelled within seven days. |
| The provisions are designed to prevent impulsive buying, which is a factor behind abandonment. |
| A pet food industry association says nearly 22 million dogs and cats are kept as pets in France. But according to animal welfare groups, 100,000 are abandoned every year. |
| A lawmaker who cosponsored the bill welcomed its adoption as a historic first step. |
| The law also bans dolphin and orca shows from 2026, and the use of wild animals in traveling circuses from 2028. |
| A representative of a circus association vowed to stage a protest, saying that no show animals are abused and the law is arbitrary. |
