A subject that could agree to all the deputies. The deputy LR Alexandre Vincentent has just presented a bill “with the aim of allowing our fellow citizens to bury their pets in their vault in the cemetery.”

This text would try to include in the General Code of the Territorial Communities – the management of cemeteries corresponds to the municipalities – the possibility that whoever wishes to “have the containers containing the remains or ashes deposited in the burial of which he is the beneficiary”. . “of the animal.
At the moment, only animal cemeteries are officially authorized to receive their remains. “The burial in a communal cemetery is due to the only people”, specifies the law.

Now it is necessary for the deputy from the Rhône to convince his colleagues at the Palais-Bourbon. His bill could be examined by the deputies next March during the parliamentary recess of the Republicans, at which time the oppositions can present their own texts. The National Association – which has made animal welfare one of its priorities – could be tempted to vote in favor.
Proof that interest is also on the side of the presidential majority: Aurore Bergé has given her consent to raise the issue in the group’s office next week, according to information from the Parisian.
