Reunion Island: Shark Bait
- Question
- Whether they will make representations to the French Government about the reported use of live cats and dogs as shark bait on Reunion Island.
- Answer
-
We have raised this issue with the French authorities who assure us that they investigate all allegations of this kind thoroughly. The French authorities are aware of the most recent reports and are in the process of investigating the issue, together with the local authorities in Reunion. We understand that the island’s chief prosecutor has also called for reinforced inspections of fishing boats in the area.
