Executive summary: Convergence Animaux Politique (CAP) has made significant progress in coordinating animal welfare lobbying in France during 2024 despite political instability, and seeks funding to expand its impact in 2025 through strategic legislative initiatives and stakeholder events.
Key points:
CAP fills a critical gap in French animal advocacy by coordinating 23 NGOs’ lobbying efforts, having facilitated 370+ parliamentary meetings and 45 legislative proposals since 2017.
Major 2024 achievements include bringing bullfighting legislation to Senate, defending animal welfare in Agricultural Orientation Bill, and securing commitments from 41 French EU parliament candidates.
2025 strategy focuses on leveraging opposition days for new bills, advancing farm animal welfare, and organizing three key stakeholder events on experimentation, captive animals, and comprehensive welfare issues.
Organization needs to raise €56,900 in donations by summer 2025 to maintain operations, with additional €55,000 needed to hire another lobbyist focused on farm animals and food transition.
France’s position as major EU animal product producer makes it strategically important for advancing broader European animal welfare reforms.
