For Françoise Di Folco, “People have to manage their pet. It’s an animal, it’s there to reproduce and it doesn’t make the choice not to reproduce with its brother or sister. of consanguinity. It is therefore up to the human who has generated all this to manage the situation, to ensure that he is sterilized”.
On the side of the office of the Walloon Minister of Animal Welfare Céline Tellier, we recall that “the sterilization of cats has been a legal obligation since 2017, that not sterilizing your cat is a 3rd category violation of the environmental code and that the administrative fine is a minimum of 250 euros (if immediate perception)”.
Compliance with the law is not controlled enough, we are also told on the ground. The region tells us that it collaborates with the municipalities, the police, the agents of the UBEA for controls, on the basis of complaints. The Minister admits, however, that it is difficult to control all the owners. She prefers to rely on good information and awareness of the responsibility of cat owners and adds that “according to the figures, cats are more and more sterilized”.
