We ask Mr. Fabrice Rigoulet-Roze, prefect of the Pays de la Loire region; to Mr. Renaud Gaudel, prosecutor of Loire Atlantique as well as to the public authorities of close this breeding of suffering in Treillières.
It's been years now that more than 45 horses, 80 dogs and cats, from a breeder in the town of Treillières in Loire Atlantique, suffer abuse and neglect. A single breeder without material or human resources, completely overwhelmed by the situation which no longer stops and who no longer sees the suffering it inflicts.
We request the verification and identification according to the laws in force of all animals located in the municipalities of Treillières, Héric, Grandchamp-des-Fontaines and Vigneux de Bretagne.
The horses, skeletal, are on insufficient grass. Most are fallow or wooded, with insecure fences, without sufficient food and water. Some are piled up on small areas littered with debris and mud.
Due to lack of resources, they regularly escape and wander on the roads. The municipal police or residents then intervene to avoid accidents that will inevitably happen one day. To obviously prevent them from escaping, they are found tied to a tree, a fence, or even locked in removable boxes without litter, water or hay.
Every year, foals are born and live in these conditions. Some don't survive. The bodies were left on the ground until neighbors, bothered by the smell, contacted the gendarmerie.
The cats are left to their own devices, without care despite injuries, without clean water or food. They are afraid of humans and are almost not used to them. Dozens of small dogs wander among accumulated rubbish or are locked with their new litters in a car on the side of the road.
For more than a year, the reports made by citizens and the 3 prefectural decrees visible on the internet for non-compliance with the law regarding dog breeding have had no effect. Neither does the article in the newspaper Ouest France of April 6, 2024, which describes the situation perfectly.
The DDPP has not done anything concrete to date. The associations have not yet filed a complaint. Reproductions and sales continue.
The suffering of all these animals is endless.
Today we are sounding the alarm so that the competent public authorities take action and close the farm.
We expressly request the removal of all these animals and that a ban on keeping animals be imposed on this breeder.
