Why can't I use a gif as a background with Turtle in Python?

Question

I try to use a gif as a background for a game. The games works fine but the background is stuck on the first frame of the gif. I'm using Turtle library with Python. Thank you :)

screen = turtle.Screen()
screen.setup(800, 600)
screen.bgpic('background.gif')
screen.update()

Sadly we cannot use gifs with Turtle.
