Every year, thousands of domestic animals are abandoned in France. Fortunately, Brigitte Bardot and the SPA have been fighting this scourge for decades
Report on the abandonment of domestic animals during the holidays. With abandonment scenes. The pound that retrieves the dogs. Animals placed at the SPA of Gennevilliers. Adoptions.
Inauguration of a new SPA center in Gennevilliers in the Hauts-de-Seine in the presence of Brigitte BARDOT. Actress interview: "I find it disgusting to abandon your pet... I give up cinema but I do not give up my dogs."
On the occasion of the centenary of the SPA, this report compares the situation between different animals. Comment on images of dogs receiving treatments in a dog beauty salon and animals collected and cared for in the SPA reception centres.
In France ("record" of the world in the matter...), more than half of the animals abandoned are during the summer holidays. 60,000 retirements for the months of July and August 2016, or 1,000 per day throughout the country... Shelters and associations try to collect them, hardly. Alternation of factual images, an excerpt from a SPA prevention video, an interview with Christian DROUIN, the Association pour le secours et la protection des animaux de Châtelaillon, and reactions from holidaymakers who leave with their dogs.
