Jacques-Antoine Granjon and One Voice: Together for the release of animals held in circuses!
Muriel Arnal, president of One Voice, and Jacques-Antoine Granjon, CEO and founder of a Private Sales Group, sent a joint letter to Nicolas Hulot, Minister of the Ecological and Solidarity Transition, asking him to ban the exploitation of wild animals in circuses.
While an increasing number of countries around the world and cities in France ban shows with animals, unfortunately French roads continue to see these circus vehicles, where lions, elephants, hippopotamuses and monkeys are crammed into trailers, these animals are on the brink of madness.
One Voice recalls that animals are recognized under French law as “sentient beings”, and that the National Veterinary Order and the Federation of French Veterinary Trade Unions (FSVF) confirm they want to go towards “the prohibition of the use of wild mammals in itinerant circuses ” and that ” the conditions under which animals are held cannot satisfy their physiological and social needs “.
“Our Minister of Ecology, known for his commitment to Nature, is well placed to understand what these living conditions mean for wild animals he has seen in the wild. One Voice is counting on him to ban their exploitation and allow us to free them, “says Muriel Arnal, founder of One Voice.
From the 24th November, and for 48 hours, on the artistic facade of the business building of Private Sales at Le Verone, overlooking the A1 motorway and the Stade de France, in Saint-Denis (93), a photo of the elephant Maya will be displayed. No less than 350,000 motorists pass through it every day, which will be affected by the #JusticePourMaya message.
“To my measure, I support all the fighting of One Voice, and especially that for circuses without animals,” says Jacques-Antoine Granjon.
