Marseille: up to 8 months suspended prison sentence required against “negligent” animal owners. A couple from Aubagne appeared this Thursday before the Marseille criminal court for abandoning an animal.
Pursued by associations, the couple was criticized for the conditions of detention of their numerous dogs and cats. Both cats and dogs have parasites and skin problems. “A dog is discovered dead,” recalls René Roux. A Malinois lives sequestered in a transport crate fitted with an electric collar without water or food.
