Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : Currently, various airlines impose strict weight limits for animals traveling in the cabin, along with very restrictive size requirements. These conditions exclude many small dogs that only slightly exceed this limit, particularly dogs weighing around 10 to 12 kg, which are nonetheless suitable for cabin travel under appropriate conditions. In practice, these animals are often calm, accustomed to traveling, and able to remain in a suitable carrier under the seat. However, they are systematically refused in the cabin and must travel in the hold, which can cause stress and pose risks to their well-being. This petition proposes a reasonable adjustment of the current rules: increasing the allowed weight limit in the cabin to 12 kg (excluding the transport bag), no longer penalizing passengers by including the weight of the bag in the limit, adapting the permitted dimensions to better reflect the reality of small-sized animals, maintaining strict safety and transport requirements (appropriate carrier, calm animal). The objective is to better balance passenger safety with animal welfare by adapting the rules to real and common situations. We call on the Luxembourg authorities to encourage an evolution of these conditions in order to make them fairer, more proportionate, and better suited to current needs.

OBJECT : This petition calls on Luxembourg to strengthen its legal provisions to better protect pets and wildlife from deliberate or negligent poisoning. We request clearer and stricter penalties, including possible custodial or suspended sentences, mandatory community service in animal shelters, and full financial responsibility for veterinary and long-term medical costs resulting from such acts.

OBJECT : We call for the creation of a legal framework allowing responsible bivouacking in Luxembourg under strict conditions respecting nature and following the "Leave No Trace" principle. Bivouacking differs from traditional wild camping: it is a light, temporary and discreet overnight stay in nature, generally limited to one night, between sunset and sunrise, without permanent installations or long-term occupation of the area. This practice is mainly used by hikers, cyclists, trekkers and outdoor travelers wishing to spend a night in nature while respecting the environment. The aim of this petition is not to authorize permanent or uncontrolled wild camping, but to allow a reasonable, discreet and responsible use of natural areas. We specifically propose: * authorization limited to one night in the same location; * a strict obligation to leave no waste behind; * prohibition of open fires; * full respect for private property, wildlife and flora; * prohibition in sensitive natural or protected areas; * use of lightweight and discreet equipment only. Several European countries already apply similar regulations successfully, balancing environmental protection with responsible access to nature. This measure would help: * promote sustainable tourism; * encourage outdoor and nature-based activities; * strengthen environmental awareness; * support a responsible and regulated outdoor culture in Luxembourg.
