Alain Delon's Dog

I did once hear of a couple who put their dog into kennels while they went on holiday - having never left it before, and the dog was at least 8 years old IIRC.

It pined and died before they returned a fortnight later. So I dare say such things do happen.

Sadly rehoming is not 100% successful.

Alain Delon was buried in the grounds of his estate where his other dogs had been buried.

88 yesrs old and a stoke sufferer I am thankful he didn’t know
his wishes were not carried out.

I hope his dog has the joy of a loving home.
RIP

Yes, agreed Annie let’s hope the dog is successfully adopted

The answer is simple.
Alain D was buried today in his garden. Read Park.
Animals are not allowed to be buried in your garden.

Lots of people bury their pets in gardens here, so France is a different case escaped

Are you sure Dinahmo?

La première chose à savoir est qu’il est absolumentinterdit par la loi française d’enterrerun animal dans son jardin si son poids est supérieur à 40 kilos. Désormais, il est égalementinterdit d’enterrer son chien si il fait moins de 40 kilos.

Here's the relevant article (no 98)

Article 98 – Cadavres d’animaux
Il est interdit de jeter les cadavres d’animaux sur la voie publique ou dans les ordures ménagères, ainsi que de les jeter dans les mares, rivières, abreuvoirs, gouffres et
bétoires, ou de les enfouir d’une façon générale à moins de 35 mètres des habitations, des puits, des sources et dans les périmètres de protection des sources et des ouvrages
de captage et d’adduction des eaux d’alimentation prévus dans la réglementation des eaux potables.
Leur destruction est assurée conformément aux prescriptions des articles 264,
265,266 et 275 du code rural et compte tenu des dispositions prises en vertu de la loi du 19 juillet 1976 relative aux installations classées pour la protection de l’environnement (1)

Article 98 - Dead animals
It is forbidden to dispose of animal carcasses on the public highway or in household waste. refuse, as well as throwing them into ponds, rivers, drinking troughs, chasms and
burying them less than 35 metres from dwellings,
wells, springs and within the perimeters of protection of springs and water and supply works provided for in the drinking water regulations.
Their destruction is ensured in accordance with the provisions of articles 264, 265, 266 and 275 of the French Rural Code and in accordance with the provisions of the law of 19 July 1976 on installations classified for environmental protection (1)

I think that the distance from a dwelling has increased from 35 m to 100m and there is now a given weight limit (40kg).
So it seems to me that it is possible to bury a pet dog or cat in your garden.

They do that in the states, they even euthenanse pets where one party in a divorce wins said pet them kills it for vengence and vets know that;s why

I don't think a healthy animal should be destroyed if there is someone to provide a loving home for it. I can see that if an older dog had to be placed in kennels and could not be re-homed that would be distressing for it.

Witzend That's such a sad story.

I understand why he made that request. He was trying to protect his dog from possible future mishaps harm and heartbreak. It wasnt a young dog.
