: Using 'interdire' here is not appropriate — we are not talking about a legal prohibition, but rather, a moral judgement; and I don't honsetly think "c'est pas bien" is either the right register, or indeed, the right strength

: What you say is a morally justifiable point of view; BUT it does not convey the sense of the source text. So amounts to over-interpretation...

I totally take Antoine's point about the unsuitability of 'abus' here; my point in posting was more than anything else to suggest using a noun rather than a verb — as highlighted by Christine in a later peer comment.
And I also note Antoine's later peer comment to the effect that 'inacceptable' would be a stronger way of expressing this idea.
thank you for your good translation and help, it helps me a lot |

: "abus" est une taduction littérale correcte mais ambigüe. "Abuser" peut signifier "maltraiter" mais également "posséder trop d'animaux"
